After baby, when did your sex drive return?

[j-diddy]

I feel bad for my husband, but I'm just not interested right now. When baby is finally down for the night I just want to lay in bed, maybe get a backrub and go to sleep before the next feeding. Besides, it's been 8 weeks since baby, and I'm still kinda sore from a few internal stitches. And yes, I know there are other ways, but I'd rather just talk - I'm alone all day and miss my husband.

Honestly it took me a few months to get my sex drive back after child birth i was just so worn out So I definatly feel you but after Awhile I knew it wasn't fair and I just started to give in to my husband and that actually got me back into sex. It had been so long that i had forgotten what i was missing. Just be honest with him let him know it's not him and to just be patient with you and soon you'll be ready to start sex again.

It was about a week after my baby started sleeping through the night. My sex drive is rather high, but my exhaustion was much, much higher. It was about 18 months until it went back to normal. Then, we would just make another baby.

My baby is 5 months old and I am just starting to get mine back. I was with you, I was so tired that as soon as my baby went to bed, I wanted to sleep. My husband understood and we just made sure to cuddle and night when we went to bed. After you get caught up on your rest and your are not sore anymore, it will come back.

I was the same way but unfortantly my sex drive never did return. It was very painful for me though. If its painful for you after you start having sex again i would say go to your gyn. Mine gave me some great pills to help.
