BF mamas & sex drive

apegg23 · June 2013

Anyone else have low sex drive? Poor DH. We've only DTD a handful of times PP. What do you do to get in the mood?

Sexy movies?

Yes, it's pretty bad. DH was getting upset because of the lack of DTD so we talked/argued about it. Since then I've tried harder to go with the flow even when not in the mood. I'd have to say now that we do more often it comes easier.

I'd say sex Drive, as in Wanting it, is normal.
The ENERGY level however is not all there.

LO recently started STTN most nights, for 7 to 9 hours, but still wakes once a night occasionally. He is also only having one nap a day for about 1 to 2 hours so I don't get much rest unless I fall asleep as soon as he does.

We try for at least once a week, but don't always accomplish. Lol.

I'm hoping my energy picks up soon. I miss my DH.

We do it at least twice a week but i'm just not into it like i used to be.

ugh. yes. actually it's not that i don't WANT to. it's that it's not the same. DTD is still quite painful and unpleasant so we have really only done it a handful of times as well. i feel badly but DH tries to be understanding. I surely hope it is mostly a hormonal balance issue that will correct itself once i stop BF. i did not have this problem with DD1 who was FF, so that's why I point my finger at BF but I don't know for sure.

Yeah it's still uncomfortable for me as well.

Sex drive?? What's that??

I haven't had the desire once since LO was born. Have done it a handful of times for DH, but that's about it. I hope it gets better after I wean.

Completely. I don't know, try to get a night of sleep so I'm not exhausted? : my drive came back like a week after I weaned dd1 but I was already 8 weeks pregnant again. I can't wait for regulated hormones someday!
