Not only do I not have a sex drive any longer (I know it still may be the new mom exhaustion) but when we do have sex it actually hurts. Not sure why this is happening. I did not tear, I did not have an epidural. I was all natural with no complications. Can anyone relate or guide me to info on this?
Thank you

I think most women have trouble finding their mojo for several months after having a baby, especially if you're breastfeeding (hormone issues).
I don't really understand why lack of an epidural would supposedly effect intimacy levels though. I had a natural birth and also an epidural birth, and there was no difference to my sex drive.
It gets better!
I had a little preemie, with a 1st degree tear and it hurt a lot at first. My OB said warned of possible drive loss and dryness. It gets better every time, though. I highly recommend Astroglide!
This. My OB said that since estrogen is the predominant hormone pp, dryness and libido will be problematic for most. It does get better, though!
