Sex after baby?

My daughter is now 7 months old and we didn't have sex again till about 3 months postpartum, I had are ally fast labour and I was so swollen after plus a couple stitches so I had no interest once so ever. But now that she's 7 months old and sleeping 12 hours a night I thought I'd be wanting it more but as soon as we try and do it I get completely turning off and dry up, I don't know what it is but I feel it shouldn't be like this.. We use condoms now, we never use to and I started the pill about a month ago.. I don't know if its condoms, the pill or just me:/
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas? Thanks:)

Hmm yea:p and yea kind of but It's hard being without her:p we've gone to the movies a couple times and out to dinner. I think it might have to do with a higher stress level and not being able to just relax more often always running around busy:p it's weird that it can cause dryness:p is it your first baby? I never ever has a problem with it before:p

It's normal. What we go through during birth is traumatic on our bodies. Everyone recovers in their own time. It took over 4 months for it not to be overlypainful. I think our focus changes as well to our babies. Have you tried a date night without baby around? It's tmi but I am dryer naturally then I used to be.
