Sex after Pregnancy

How long does it take to want to want to have sex after you have a baby? Like actually want to, not be pressured into it because it's been two weeks. Does that urge ever come back? Will the spark you once shared ever come back? :cds:

well I know that much but it has been over a year, and that urge is just not there! I use to be a little devil in bed and couldn't wait. but now I dread having to in the first place!

You're broken. See your doctor.

Wait... is this a trick question? Has it been two weeks or a year plus? :confused: The above answer is for the second.

Yes. I had to force my daughter's mom to hold out until she was OK. I was warned in advance that that's the way women tend to be. :shrug:

My guess is... it's either some psychological thing, or your hormones never really went back to "normal." The second can be checked. The first is for you to figure out if it's the case or not.

I'd say go see a doctor. I was thinking a hormonal thing if you were breastfeeding. It still can be a hormonal thing....

How old is your baby? What is your child's temperment? All of this can affect your sex drive IMO. My first child was easy so I was more relaxed in general. My second was a reflux baby and cried almost 8 hours a day AND I had an almost 2 year old at the same time. At the end of the day I just wanted to collapse.
Now things are fairly normal and we have a pretty predictable routine so those stressful days are fewer and far between. Not as stressed during the day = more sex for hubby after the kids go to bed.
