Sex drive?!

Question

Anyone else breast feeding and not feeling like having sex?
I’m 11 weeks PP and have still not had sex. I did have an episiotomy which I think played a part in not wanting to after the 6 weeks but now I just never feel like I want to.
Also, we only had sex about 2 times during the pregnancy so I feel like it’s just never going to happen!
Anyone else in the same boat?

Answer

Totally in the same boat! When I talked to my Dr. about it she said it’s perfectly normal for your sex drive to be lower especially when breastfeeding! The hormones your body produces to make you milk supply can also lower sex drive 😔 I feel terrible for my hubby, but he’s been great about it all!

Answer

Baby is 3 months old today. Still too afraid to try. Also breastfeeding. I think I was 16 weeks postpartum with my son before we had sex again. So I’m grateful that my husband is patient. Lack of sleep is not good for my sex drive. By the time both children are sleeping soundly, we are both just too tired.

Answer

Same!!! I feel like i should want to, but no interest at all

Answer

No sex drive at alllll.

Answer

Definitely in the same boat. I had very low sex drive during pregnancy, and towards the end I was warming up to the idea of trying it to induce labor, and then I went into labor naturally 12 days early, so no sex for my husband. I had a second degree tear and have been exclusively breastfeeding. 
Due to schedule changes, my 6 week pp appointment turned into a 9 week pp appointment and I didn’t even care, lol. At 8 weeks pp, my husband broke his leg and isn’t allowed back at work until it’s healed. He’s still home, and he is like a horny teenager, always touching and trying to cuddle and then some. I feel bad, but I just have no interest in sex whatsoever. I finally gave in the other day, not because I was even remotely interested but because I was so sick of listening to him whine. I will admit that I was 100% not turned on or in the mood, and the sex was the worst 😂 Painful AND did literally nothing for me. Ugh. I guess the silver lining is that I don’t think it could get worse...? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

Same here. Doctor have me birth control script... I dont need it at all!! My poor husband. He wants the breasts for himself. Lol!

Answer

Answer

Answer

Yep! The same!! But I feel my problem is more self image thing  after pp. The good thing is my husband is very supportive and he understands.
