Where has it gone? My sex drive has dissappeared! It has been over 5 months since Abby was born, and I though things would get back to normal now? What can I do to get it back? Is this a common problem? I really thought it would be back by now but I have little to no interest in sex. I feel so bad for him. :help:
Just moving this to Your Body After Baby & Post Natal Issues.
I wish I could help sarajo... but my libido still has barely returned and its been over 2 years now since Aidyn was born *sigh*
I think the constant tiredness/exhaustion etc of being a mother really effects it TBH...
Same here Sarajo. Tehya is nearly 15 months and still no sign. I agree with Angel, I think constant tiredness and exhaustion really don't help. I'm still up atleast 3 times a night so I don't think mine will be returning any time soon.
Are you able to get a babysitter for a couple of hours? I haven't tried it myself, but I'm thinking about it, because for me the biggest limiter on my libido (other than tiredness) is constantly listening out for DD to wake! It really makes me feel pressured for time, even though I may not be.
I think that's a great idea Fenella. I'm thinking about leaving Maddy at my sister's or Mum's for the evening in a few weeks (just for a few hours like 6pm-10pm or something) so that I can cook DH a good dinner and we can fit in some hanky panky without feeling the pressure of Maddy in her room crying for attention.
Sarajo - only 5 months??? hehe I only just felt like I got mine back after 2 1/2 years since dd was born and then i found out I was pregnant again!! Poor DH has had to go through all that torture again...
I think leaving bubs with someone for a few hours is a great idea (unfortunately its a bit harder with 2 kids as in my case)
Hope you find the missing libido soon!
