Did your sex drive decrease during or after pregnancy? if so, has it come back

Question

It's crazy that I lost my sex drive when I was 6 months pregnant and I literally just got it back a month ago and my baby is 10 months. Yes! We've been sexless for like a year. Then out of the blue I got it back. We may be making up for lost times cause we go at it almost every other day and at minimum twice a day each time we do it!  Just wondering how your partners dealt with it because it was definitely a struggle for us. The hubby was trying to be patient but there was tension sometimes

Answer

I lost my sex drive too around the same time. It would come back here and there, but I just really wasn't as interested in sex as I was prior to giving birth. I think mine was attributed to the immense amount of sleep I was not getting.   We didn't go that long without having sex, but there were a few small month gaps here and there. My husband was really understanding, as he was so exhausted too! Our son had GERD and colic and had to have a double eye surgery, so we were zombies to say the least.

Answer

It's much worse, now that I'm pregnant 😂

Answer

I lost my sex drive after I had my daughter. She's 20 months and we've probably only had sex 15 or 20 times in those 20 months. I'm starting to think it's gone for good.

Answer

I noticed my sex drive decreased after having my daughter. It's now been 5 months and it's slowly coming back.

Answer

It skyrocketed when I got pregnant. I initially had a very low sex drive. After pregnancy, it died down a little but it's still higher than pre pregnancy.

Answer

I had to take a little break during the first trimester (at least less than normal) because I couldn't stop puking. After that, it was high as ever. I was ready to jump back on that wagon three weeks postpartum, although I waited until my doctor cleared me, which in fairness, is only because my husband made me wait. I don't think that's the norm, though.
