Postpartum Intimacy

Mary

Hello ladies. I’m really struggling with intimacy with my partner. I am almost five months postpartum and I have no desire for sex. In fact whenever my husband tries to initiate it, I almost cringe and it sometimes makes me angry, especially when he touches my breasts. I don’t know if it’s hormones or what. (I am breastfeeding the baby).

We used to have an amazing sex life and I loved having sex with him. But now it’s all I can do to even make myself act interested for him. I love him so much and we have talked about my lack of drive post pregnancy so he is aware of what is going on. He is very understanding. But I feel terrible bc we have had sex three times in the last five months and I know he misses it. Will I ever feel that desire again? Did any of you feel this way?
