Have you done the deed postpartum?

Question

I'm 3 months and we still haven't done the deed and I have no interest. Anyone else?

Answer

Breastfeeding gives me the lowest sex drive 🙄😂 so after our second child we had set twice... once at 3 monthspp and once at 8monthspp and I got pregnant at 8 months pp 🥴😂 never having sex again 😂 just kidding but honestly it hasn't even crossed my mind this time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Every woman is different. My sister and I have wicked high sex drives. I could not WAIT to be cleared. Kicked my dad out of my house after I got back from being cleared despite him visiting from out of state. Mama needs her lovins!

Answer

OH THANK GOODNESS ITS NOT JUST ME!!!! It’s not that I’m nervous or anything I’m just not in the mood. I just had this tiny human come out of me, spend 5 days in the NICU because despite being born at 39w 1d she lost weight and ended up being premie sized, and now she’s attached to my boob 24/7. I don’t wanna put anything in there right now!!!

Answer

Like, WHEN?! LOL.  If the baby goes to bed, so do I. My husband has a low sex drive and is probably enjoying the break. 🤷

Answer

My doctor recommended using mineral oils for lubricant since I had baby naturally. But it still hurt the first time.

Answer

We waited a little longer than 6 weeks pp and was quite painful so gave it a couple weeks after we first tried. Now we manage about once or twice on the weekends but it’s hard with baby and my sex drive is pretty low.

Answer

After all 3 of my babies we waited 5 weeks. Now at 3 months postpartum we are back to the usual 2-3 times a week.

Answer

We did it at 9 weeks post partum. It was very painful. It's a no-no since, I'm too scared of the pain!

Answer

I have high sex drive, waited until 4 weeks postpartum.  Had vag birth, with second degree tear.  No issues at all, and have sex regularly. Everyone is different, no harm in waiting until you’re comfortable and ready!

Answer

Hi Mama. You're not alone. Our little guy is 11 almost 12 weeks. And we have not had sex yet. Part of it is my sex drive is nearly nonexistent. The other part is I feel uncomfortable after so much weight gain I don't really feel like myself. And most of it I would say it comes from just sheer exhaustion. After feeding and pumping breast milk Around the Clock oh, I'm sorry but I just didn't want someone else Pauling at my boobs. LOL. I know that's unfair. But I know that this too shall pass. Maybe once baby is sleeping through the night LOL. I will say that we have done other things other than sex. I feel too bad depriving hubby of everything LOL. Especially since he's such a great dad and partner. And tries his best to make sure I am as rested as possible. We usually take turns on night shift I do one night, he does the next, and so on. I just feel like I am constantly fatigued and could sleep forever. So when they be sleeping that's all I want to do is sleep.
