How to get back your groove

Single mom here

Due events out of my control im a single mom. I haven't had sex since I was about 2 1/2 months pregnant. My son is turning 1 December.

I know alot of people are going to bash and say that my child isn't even 1 and I want to have sex blah blah. It's been 1 year and 3 months since I've felt the touch of a man. I've only been focused solely on my child. But I am very lonely. I have been talking to someone from my past but because it's been so long I've lost confidence. I had stitches after birth for some pretty bad tears and then gaining weight after the baby. I'm not sure how to go back into sexual stuff as I have lost all confidence. So to all the moms who suffered this, how did you get back confidence to have sex again?
