Completely lost my sex drive since becoming a mum. Last year we had sex once and I got pregnant 🤣.
We have 2 under 2 now.
We last had sex around 6 months ago - which induced labour 😃
I feel awful but I just never have the capacity for it, never crave it. Don't think it helps that I'm struggling with my body image.
My husband tells me constantly how beautiful I am & looks at me the same as he always has.
When we do it, its mindblowing & i think "why dont we do this more." But then I guess, life gets in the way.
I feel bad on my husband as we don't have any sexual contact but I almost feel sick at the thought of it.
It's not a reflection on him because hes fooooinnneeeee 😍 and i love him with my whole heart.
It's me thats the problem. I'm going to the gym & eating well to try lose weight. But what can I do to get it back within myself?

I thought this for years before I simply realised that no matter how good of a man my partner is - I just don't want to do it with him. I would lie and say it was great - it wasn't all that and now we're separating and I feel a sense of relief. Turns out it wasn't my libido at all, it was his lack of understanding me sexually and maybe my lack of trusting him to understand even if I did communicate.
Maybe not the case for you but maybe it could be... this post sounds like me around 4 years ago.
Best of luck with it all x

I wouldn’t worry about losing weight you’re just putting more stress on yourself which will be lowering your libido. Look for other things to feel sexy like looking for nice nightwear or lingerie or get your hair done. Not going to lie even when I only dye my eye brows I feel like a new woman 😂 the little things can make the world of difference!
It’s been one year… I don’t even know how it goes anymore. My husband’s not trying. We don’t have time alone ever.
Are we doomed?

Struggling to find friends on here 😂 I just want some mom friends where the effort goes both ways. We’re all busy, but I want friendships where we actually make time for each other and genuinely want to hang out. 🫶🏼
Give me the tomboy moms who wanna do random stuff, watch cars go stupid fast at the racetrack 🏁😂, and just vibe. I just want a few people I really click with. Where are my gearhead mamas?❤️

How do mums do it without a village? I'm currently 25weeks pregnant with a 25month old and live in an area where I have zero friends or family around me. Yes my husband helps but he's got 2 jobs so super busy and I'm too tired to be looking after a toddler all day everyday whilst being pregnant. I ask for help from my mum but she doesn't want to sacrifice her holidays for me or spend time/money to come up to me. I'm just sick of it. I feel so alone. I feel so hurt. I wish someone would just come help me.

Recently have become quite hard for me having no one to speak to or go out on play dates with I have a 2 and half yr old little girl and it’s like I’m always in the same cycle over and over again us as mothers need to stick together ❤️
