I've spent ages on this article, there is so much I want to cover and its really long already, but I dont want to leave anything out either. I'd love some feedback from those of you who have contributed if you like - I can make some amendments and then put it out there

Why Doesn't She Want To Have Sex With Me After The Baby?

What do you think?

Nice to know libido comes back when your period does though, I didn't know that.

Mine hasn't despite period being back still on the mini pill though

Yep- it would be the pill I'd say. I had been on the pill my entire adult life until after having my first baby. Once my period came back and my libido came with it I lamented all those years of lost libido I had on the pill. I'd never take it again.

I don't have a choice cause I have a very strict low protein diet, which has to be even stricter for pregnancy. No accidents allowed.

thats a shame phebee, needless to say theres no need for me to go on the pill ever again- yay

Same here meow. That is why DH has had the snip. Going off the pill when TTC was the first time in my life I felt "normal".

I like it Kelly! I think it's good to make a distinction between the types of touch we get. I want touch, hugs etc, but I can do without the constant bum or boob grabbing, or the feeling that every hug must lead somewhere.

Yep I talk about the level of hormones more in the linked article about libido and breastfeeding I did make sure I pointed out a few times to talk these points over with the woman in question as only she knows all the answers. We're all so different yet the same too. I'm really touch based but like someone else mentioned, right now all I care for is the connection and touch that comes with sex - otherwise I am happy to sleep lol.
