Sex drive after baby

[TxMamma]

So I had my 6 week check up today and got the ok to resume all activities including sex.  I have no desire to have sex with my husband. I don't even want to tell him I'm able to. Anyone else experience this?

[TxMamma]

I know he'll do it if I ask. I just want him to ask. Plus I know he wont stray. I sometimes wonder if he has sex drive issues. He says he doesn't. Oh well. Doesn't matter since I'm not interested in sex at the moment. :)

If you don't have sex with him.....he may do it with someone else

We don't have a very active or satisfying sex life as it is. He never initiates...ever! I kinda wanna wait til he shows interest in me. Like y'all said, I just went thru a lot. My body was no show piece b4 but is not much better after baby. I guess I just wanna feel wanted.

totally agree with everything above, or on the other hand you could just jump straight in there, sometimes you dont feel like it, but once you have actually started the whole process again, you may actually find that you enjoy your self, and re-awaken your sexual side of you :D

It's completely up to you when you want to resume sexual activity. Some women don't feel up to it for months and months. some a year, some more! We go through a huge ordeal to have a baby, some mahy even describe it as traumatic. You've undergone physical and emotional changes. Birth is hard, recovery is hard, and let alone carrying a child for nine months and having your body change and become alien to you.., and how you feel afterwards is down to you. I didn't have much interest either, for a good few months. It varies from person to person. Don't worry about it. You could talk to your husband and be honest with him about how you feel. x
