Haven't had sex with wife in 6 months

Jo

My wife and I had our first child a few months ago and it's coming up now on 6 months that we've done anything sexually. We're both in our mid-20's but even at our peak, sex was pretty rare. I'm almost always in the mood (your typical guy I think), but it was harder for her to get to that place.

It really slowed down even more with the pregnancy and eventually it just stopped. I really wanted to be as supportive as I could for her so I never brought it up. I figured it would come around eventually after the baby was born.

Well our baby is here now, and he's such an incredible blessing, but the sex has still never happened. Not even any foreplay or even a touch. I've takem care of myself only a handful of times, not wanting to spoil anything that may happen. I've tried talking to her about it, expressing I really have a strong desire to be intimate but it really feels like she doesn't want anything to do with sex.

I can't even imagine what crazy things hormones do to you during pregnancy and birth, and I'm really trying to be as sensitive and supportive as I can but it's really starting to take a toll. Are all these feelings normal? Is there something I can do to make myself more appealing to her or light the fire back up? Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
