Post Partum Sex

apegg23 · March 2013

18 weeks PP and we've only done it twice. It's still uncomfortable. I'm BF, and I know that it can leave you dry, so we use lubrication. Anyone else in this sad boat?

15 weeks PP and I have DTD zero times. For no reason.

karkissy09 · March 2013

Me! We've done it 2 times...but have fooled around twice as well. Hallie is 4 months old. I'm just rarely in the mood nor do I really have time.

17 weeks PP here. We DTD once and this was last week. Haha. It certainly was uncomfortable at first...but as you get further into it, it's not so bad. I had 2 second degree tears, so I have been terrified but glad that it's out of the way!

I'm right there with you.

Only once here. It was extremely painful. I had a c-section so I did not anticipate it hurting as much as it did. I'm scared to do it again! It was that bad for me. I think my husband is going crazy, especially because we didn't have sex while I was pregnant due to placenta previa. I feel awful about it.

Twice. Have zero desire. No pain or anything, just not feeling particularly sexy.

16 weeks PP and we've done it twice. The first time was in very painful, but it got better the second time.

We are just so tired and not in the mood at all. I even asked DH the other day if he wanted to and he said no, he just wanted to go to sleep. I might havebeen offended if I weren't so overcome with relief. lol

15 weeks pp and there is no dtd here!! I'm so scared of the pain and I dont have much desire for it. I now have two kids so I also don't have energy for it. Thankfully my dh hasn't pushed the issue just yet.

I'm so glad to see this...seriously. We've DTD 3, maybe 4 times. I've had very little desire to and have been thinking there is something wrong with me. I think H is bothered with the lack of sex though, so I hope I start wanting to again soon.

What is this post partum sex you speak of? Tried once and it hurrrrt. Now LO is up every 2 to 3 hours max so I guard my sleep with my life. I miss it though.

I can't imagine!! My hubby complains about our 2 times a week.

BabyMakes 3 · March 2013

I'm sorry! It was uncomfortable at first but not anymore. We are usually at 2 times a week. I'd be happier with 3... Yes, I know this isn't normal. But it puts me in a bad mood if we haven't been DTD. Haha.

I was the strange case that wanted sexy time right after delivery, this was not an option I tore a little and have no clue why on earth I wanted sex so bad! We made it to 3 weeks PP before I couldn't wait anymore. It was awkward and didn't feel the same for several sessions, but we are back to normal now. It did hurt at first and I thought it was because I didn't wait like I was supposed to. We def don't DTD as much as prebaby and now that my hormones have calmed down I don't want it near as much as I did the the first several weeks PP.

I am with Babymakes3 on this one. It is at least 3 times a week, usually quite a bit more. We have always been rabbits though.

Thank you for this post. I made one similar a few weeks ago and everyone just responded with "You aren't DTD?! We are having sex even more now!"

It's stressful because I know DH is wanting it so bad, but the few times we have it hasn't been very enjoyable. Which makes it that much harder to get in the mood when I know it isn't going to feel that great.

Even though I have lost most of my pregnancy weight, I still feel uncomfortable in my new body- totally not sexy at all. I work full time- I'm exhausted!

I'm hoping I can become more comfortable and in the mood soon!
