So this post might be a bit TMI for some, but I wanted to see if anyone else is this way or if I’m crazy 😅

I’m barely one week from a natural birth. Healing well but obviously it’s gonna be quite a while before sexy times are an option. My doctor gave me a minimum of 4 weeks, and I am fully aware of all the dangers of getting too busy sexually before everything is healed.

But my hormones do not agree! Most places I’ve seen or read, they talk about how normal it is to be uninterested in sex, or be too tired to think about it. They also say it’s normal for partners to be just as exhausted and uninterested (although I know it’s very subjective to the person). I’m even fully breastfeeding, which is supposed to link to lower sex drive.

I have always had a CRAZY high drive and I was honestly kind of looking forward to my body telling me it wasn’t ready. But now it’s not 😂 Partner and I are both struggling. Now that the outside of my lady parts is almost entirely healed we utilize other methods with other holes.. but it’s not the same 🤦‍♀️ I feel bad that we’re acting like horny bunnies who can’t do much about it.

I’d also like to clarify, just in case anyone is concerned somehow (comment sections be crazy sometimes), that we are in love with this rainbow baby and he is receiving almost all our time. We are exhausted, in the best way possible, but it’s not keeping us from these problems 😂

I’m not on here looking for more people to tell me it’s unsafe. I know it’s goshdarn unsafe and I’ll be waiting like all the medical advice says to. Just wanting to know if anyone else is an anomaly like this and how you coped.
