Low Libido Postpartum

Christina

My husband told me yesterday that he might cheat on me in the future if I don’t have sex with him more. My daughter is 11 months old and since she was born I’ve had a pretty low libido and depression/anxiety/irritability. Right now we have sex ever 5-10 days. I track all of our sex as a reminder to not let the days stretch too long because I know it’s important to him… but I just don’t want it like I used to. He’s taking it personally of course and I’ve assured him multiple times it’s not that I don’t find him attractive, I don’t find anything attractive. My daughter is sleeping through the night, I’ve started focusing on my diet and exercise more hoping that will help (I have about 15 pounds of baby weight on me still). I’ve been a SAHM since she was born.

Calling all mamas who have struggled with this in the past! How and when did you get your libido back? Besides talking my to my doctor about it (I’d rather do things on my own), I’d be so grateful for any tips or ideas.
