Our sex life part 2

edited January 2014 in April 2013 Moms
How often are you having sex now? I'm curious to see if it is more, less, or equal to how much sex you were having before baby came along.

Re: Our sex life part 2

  • Ours is about the same (around 1x per week). DH and my schedules are so opposite that we never had sex a lot to begin with. I'm. Morning sex person and he's a night sex person. Either way, I'm saying we have it enough considering #2 is on the way. @melandjames14 I agree with you though... No sex drive here either... (Besides a racy dream I had a couple nights ago).

  • Ours is less because: A) MH is now gone weeks at a time for work B) I still have zero sex drive. Poor guy.
    Hey! This exactly. My husband works for 2 weeks straight every other two weeks.

  • I screwed up the last poll. We went from almost every day, pre-kids, to 1-2 times a week during pregnancy / since James...and now that I'm pregnant again, nada for the last two weeks (HUGELY unusual for us, hoping to solve that problem today).

  • We went from 1-2/wk to about once a month right now.  Its totally my fault, but dealing with the PPA/D that popped up a couple months ago I have no interest whatsoever.  I need to start turning things around pronto!

  • Ours is less. Pre-babies it was usually 4-5 times a week. Now we average once a week. When we just had our DD, it was probably 3-4 times a week, but it's a lot harder to find the time/energy with 2 kids and DS still waking 1-2 times at night.

  • I voted SS because we've only had sex once since LO was born. There are a lot of reasons for that but I really wish we could work on it. Sometimes I really worry that our marriage is unfixable. I hope not.

  • I said this on the other poll- but I'll say it again. My sex life sucks post baby. I am also trying to work on this because I think it's important but I totally blame the f-Ed up hormones and then the lack of sleep over the past 9.5 months

  • Geez. I think two or three times since DD was born. I had a third degree tear so we waited for a couple months. I feel bad for the guy as we were also not allowed to have sex for the last several months of my pregnancy (low lying placenta). However I haven't had a proper sleep in about a year and he gets to sttn all the time. Soon enough he'll be complaining that I'm making him perform in demand when we ttc #2, haha b

  • It's strange because during pregnancy I think we had more sex than ever before, I wanted it all of the time. Now I don't have much desire. Maybe 2 or 3 times a month.

    We have 5 times since she was born I think. And not at all while I was pregnant. We were 1-2x a week before though. But while I was pregnant I had some bleeding issues at the beginning and we had a hard time getting pregnant so we wanted to be extra careful... Then when I got bigger he was kind of freaked out about the belly. As for after, like @andertrr said it doesn't feel dysfunctional. Our marriage is as strong as ever. I know my lack of interest is probably due to nursing, and our schedules are crazy. We communicate about it a lot and make sure that each of us are ok with things, and we are intimate in other ways. I have no doubt that it will come back also, and I'm not really worried about it.

    Very similar situation here.
