Low libido
So I’m 7 weeks PP and I have no desire to have sex, the thought of it drains me and I’m just not attracted to my husband right now. It has nothing to do with his physical appearance because he’s attractive. I just don’t want to have sex! He’s always telling me that he doesn’t know what happened to me, that 2-3 years ago I was always looking for him sexually and that I enjoyed it but now it’s like not even a thought in my head. I think it’s because I’m frustrated that he doesn’t help as much as I would like him to with the baby. He’s off work currently and my mom is the one that helps the most. He’s always arguing with me when I mention how I wish he would help more, he gets offended. I’m starting to grow resentment towards him when I’m always the one waking up at night for feeding and changing and he’s just there sleeping without a care in the world. Maybe we need couples therapy, idk honestly.

It's totally normal to not have sex on your mind so close postpartum. Your time is fully consumed taking care of a baby. Your hormones are also still over the place.
I would feel the same way if my partner wasn't supportive. Its his baby, he should help you ❤️
We started having hubby give the baby the first night feeding. It helps to get me more sleep and it’s an opportunity for him to bond with the baby. The only downside is having to pump, but if you already pump or feed formula then it should be an easier transition.
But I also have no libido and my husband is super helpful almost 24/7, so I blame hormones and recovery. You’ll feel something come back at some point and just need to be patient. Don’t be hard on yourself ❤️ it’s normal
