Sex after Pregnancy

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.

Two thoughts here. Well the first is a question. How many times per week does the average couple with kids get special time? Second I wonder why you said sex for hubby. Sex should be for you too. I find I sleep great after sex.

My kids are pitas too and after work, cooking dinner, homework, bathes and bedtime I am whooped. I find many times I would like to but I can't keep my eyes open long enough to get past first base.

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:

Sex for hubby because because his idea of how much sex he 'needs' a week is different from mine! :lol: So on days that I am more relaxed after the kids go to bed it is easier for me to get in the mood. After stressful days I do not even want to be touched sometimes.
And as for how many times I think that depends on so many factors from child age/bedtime as well as adult work schedule and routine. So obviously that varies by family.

I have actually gone to the doctor because I thought something was wrong, but the midwife assured me I was okay and there's really no test they can do to deam me okay. I thought they could test your hormones too. I just want that spark back ya know.... It's kinda depressing

Huh. Good question.

Try using a "toy" alone and see what happens.. Next step maybe seeing a Dr.

Seeing a doctor does nothing! I have asked for YEARS for help and none of them will do a damn thing to help me. I know there are drugs out there to help women like us but for some odd reason they pretend they have never heard of it.

I know mine is gone due to the medications I take. Are you on birth control? My doc told me that alone will kill your urge.

Tell Mr. Man that if he don't like it and he can't stand it, point to the door and say don't let it hit you where the good Lord split you! :evil:

My husband never pressures me. He knows when the time is right it will be better if I want it too. He understands and is very supportive. You need to have a talk with him and explain to him that it is not fun for you if you give in just because you feel you have to and that is not fair to you. You should ask him to be more patient and supportive.

Oh he knows, because If I don't enjoy I'm tellin you he ain't gonna either..:evil: But I want to have sex like we use to. I'm talkin like 3 or more times a day. But that spunk just isn't there anymore. I'm lucky if I want it once a week now. :ohwell:

Could you be any more self-serving? No wonder the divorce rate is so high.

It most likely is a hormone imbalance. Talk to your GYN and ask her to please help you in this dept. and at least do blood tests to check your levels. Maybe she could then put you on a mini pill to help straighten you out. Like I said most doctors are not willing to help. It really shocked me that my female doctor didn't want to do anything to help me and you know she knows what I am going through. There are billions of us women out there suffering the same condition and they helped the men but won't and practically refuse to help us women! :cds:

I happen to know what I am talking about, I have done a lot of research over the years due to my lack of enthusiasm. So laugh all you want. I am there with her and totally understand her problem.
