What's your sex life like post baby?

Seeing that TTC is starting to be discussed, and since I used a beej to apologize to my DH last night...I figured we could talk about this now.

Re: What's your sex life like post baby?

  • We were going crazy for awhile there buy now it's settled back into the 1-3 a week range. I can say that it's gotten better since having a kid...I did not expect that.
  • Loading the player...
  • We have yet to DTD. I have zero desire and I wasn't cleared until 12 weeks out. It's like I've forgotten how to initiate sex. I think he's scared that he will break my vajayjay. We may never have sex again. :-(

    I find sex feels way better now too. Now that my hormones are regulating my sex drive is picking up, so we will be back to 3-4 times/week soon.

  • Maybe once or twice a week? Usually on weekends or when I drink wine at night. It's hard to get motivated for it, but I've been trying to make the effort.

    I would do it everyday. For some reason its better than it has ever been. But we only get to do maybe twice a week. I think yhe kids plan it, each night they take a turn to come try to get in bed with us.
  • We maybe DTD once or twice a week, on average. It's hard for me, since I'm battling PPD and anxiety. That pretty much kills my drive plus I hate my body most days, so it's hard to feel attractive. Hoping my hormones and emotions level out more soon so I can feel more 'normal'.

  • We are hit and miss. Some weeks we are really into it and others we are just too tired. I hurt at first, but it's back to normal now.

  • Last night we finally DTD!!!!! Lol I had bad tearing so only got cleared a couple weeks ago and when we tried then I was still too sore. But it was DH's bday yesterday so we gave it another try :)
  • I'm way too fucking tired most of the time. We've only done it a couple times since lo was born. :(

  • I want to more than we do but even with lube I'm still dry as the Sahara and it hurts... Blegh. I miss good sex.

  • It's basically a weekend thing for us now. Sometimes we can sneak a session in through the week if we aren't too exhausted. Between working, picking up the baby and getting everything ready for the next day of work, we just don't have time.
  • DH said earlier today he feels like a sex ninja. A lot of times were so exhausted at night so it's more of a he comes home for lunch time, and I try to make sure both kids are asleep kind of thing. It is so much harder to find the time with two kids!! But we're making it work! It's actually been fun!
  • We are barely averaging 1x a week, mostly due to this being DH's crazy period at work and he is fairly stressed. But I will say that the handful of times we've done it, it's been pretty good. I have been pleasantly surprised by PP sex this time around!

  • No sex here. I am sadly okay with this.
  • We DTD once a day at least. We have always had big sex drives. Our sex life has got so much better since M arrived. We are certainly making up for lost time.
  • I am on the not at all party and I am sadly okay with it. We have not dtd in six months...and I really have no interest to. Every since my son was born four years ago I have lost interest and I really don't know how to fix it...it used to be so different.

  • @Yezbick9‌ your not alone in that let down department. I thought it was just me. Glad it's not. It also makes me want to go all the way. DH enjoys that aspect of my pumping schedule.
  • It's like SO and I switched places. I'm a total nympho since being cleared and he's so meh about the whole thing :(
  • MarBee1214 same thing with my DH, he is normally the not horny one in our home and lately he has been giving me a run for my $, I am A OK with that!! He is normally a 1x and done kinda guy, could go more he just chooses not to, so last night when he came at me twice I was like "who are you and what have you done with my husband but YES I will make all the sex with you!" Most magical night all week LOL ;) Its been great though really. We are on our 3rd child so we figured out long ago how to "sneak one in". Glad things are rocking for you at your house!! Party on sister!!
  • We are having so much more sex since the baby was born. We have two kids with predictable sleep habits, which makes it easier
