PP intercourse (long post)
My SO is clearly ready for us to have some marital bliss. It’s been a very, very, very long time because we both thought sex during pregnancy was super awkward. I’m 3mo PP. I’m just not ready??? I had problems with dryness before pregnancy. Now that I’m EBF our LO it terrifies me to read some of the stories about PP sex. I know we can buy lube. I’m just really not ready to be intimate again. I’m exhausted. LO had started going for long stretches at night but got a terrible cold and has not
been sleeping for the last 4 nights. I feel like I can’t keep my housework done. We have a 3yr old that needs my attention bc she won’t allow daddy to help with a bath or bedtime routine. I’d love to take a shower without a toddler screaming or a baby crying. I’m just too consumed with everything else to even consider being intimate with SO. I don’t even feel comfortable in my own skin yet. I’ve lost all the weight I had gained plus some. The stretch marks are terrible even though I have come to my own conclusion that it’s my LO road map of his 35week journey. The skin is still stretched and flabby. Ugh! I’m so not ready, but my SO deserves to feel loved and wanted again. He deserves more than me just being a mommy. I’m his wife before I was a mommy and he deserves that part of me back. How to get over myself and let him love me again?
