post partum sex.

How many of you ladies had husband's/boyfriends that drove u crazy with waiting to have sex for the full weeks. Im 38+4 and My husband and I still have sex at least every other night and he is already whining about having to wait that long. I'm sure I can help out in other ways, but I'm also gonna be tired and trying to sleep when the baby is asleep....so, did you juggle that and keeping your man satisfied.  6-8 weeks can be a longs time for some lol

My so and I had sex right up the night before our 1st daughter was born. We waited 2 weeks after she was born, she was an emergency csection due to pre-eclampsia and a failed induction. I'm 21 weeks now and we do it every few nights working around his work schedule and our daughters sleep schedule. Unless told other wise we will continue to until the end. It will be hard after the baby is born cause our oldest will have just turned 2 then adding a newborn to it all! We will prob wait 2-3 weeks after she's born to have sex again of everything goes smoothly.

Most definitely understand where that would make you mad kendall! I don't think that's an appropriate time to watch porn.  He needs to be up front and center to help not be hiding somewhere. I feel the same way about my hubby. He has a few sexy pics of me too and it has crossed my mind about him watching porn instead of me. But then I have to remember that porn is moving videos and sometimes it can refreshing watching strangers without actually cheating.  You know what I mean? Definitely understand you as a woman and how it can be hurtful.  I just want you to remember that your hubby made a baby with you. It didn't get in your belly by yourself haha. He definitely will always be attracted to you! :)

I just told him to please respect my feelings and be honest with me. It can be very disrespectful,  but I know he just saw my vag the size of a baby. Lol i know he loves me more than anything and I just wanna be open about it. Im sure it would be bullshittt I'm downstairs with the baby feeding and he is in bed watching porn. That's gonna get really ugly lmao. But it might hurt my feelings knowing he has sexy pics of me and goes straight to porn. Makes met think he it's bored of me. Ya know

Eek :/ that doesn't sound like a very good approach in my opinion. I just feel like that encourages them to be sneaky about it. I promise you, they're gonna do it no matter what.

I'm sure every single woman feels insecurities about being pregnant. I have to remind myself that it's nothing personal. I've caught myself getting upset about it but then I remember that not every guy finds a big Ole prego belly attractive.  It's just realistic lol. But that's definitely a good idea! Watching it together can relieve a lot of the tension about it. As long as you don't give an attitude or act awkward because it can turn the situation around so quick

Oh I am far from okay with him watching porn. Especially since I caught him watching it while I was sleeping. Since then I told him if he wants to watch it I will leave an he can have a full on reason to watch it. That's very disrespectful to me and our relationship. He tries to get me to watch it with him but I don't I don't like the idea of him getting turned on by another women sorry not happening

Well if you ladies are okay with yours watching porn that's your decision.  But I'm not okay with it especially when I feel so vulnerable about my body right now. He understands that and I know guys are guys and I understand that. Everytime I bring it up, he says "kendall, I'm not 14 anymore" lol. I have thought about when he is really anxious to have sex one night maybe watch it together and then help get off.... idk it just makes me feel like he has to watch someone else to get off. But he has also said he is gonna be just as tired as i am. He works for 5 am to 5 pm everyday so.maywbe it won't even be an issue.

I mean you can't exactly keep him from watching porn. I understand it may seem hurtful especially since you're recovering. Men are just by nature, visual beings. Sometimes as women we don't always understand. I'm guilty of it sometimes. He's just gonna have to wait and be patient and understanding. Try and help him in other ways and cut him some slack. The more forbidden porn is, the more he's gonna wanna watch it. Don't take it personal.

My fiance is the same way since I am going to be having a c section its going to be a while he keeps saying I have to find another way to satisfy him. But I don't think he really understands how hard it will be having a 2 year old and a newborn.

Mine wanted sex after 2 weeks lol. I got cut though and had stitches so we physically couldn't.  We had to wait 4 or 5 weeks for my stitches to dissolve. It was so rough but so worth the wait lol

And I'm not okay with him watching porn. So I won't be happy if I find out that he's getting his rocks off to some other girl while I'm up with a crying baby. Lol
