Re: No sex drive!

I went through some thing the same as you, and  my hubby was very understanding , after our son was born, was a bad time for both of us, as our son only sleep about four hours at night and then i was up with him the rest of the night and when it came to having sex well sad to say but i just didnt want it.

After 6 months went by i decided to go and see my doctor for myself as most of the time i was up there once a week with my very sickly son, and when i told him what had happened to my sex drive he put me on some sort of pill and with in days i started to feel better after 2 weeks on it, it was me putting the hard word on hubby.

So if i was you id go and talk to your doctor, im sure he or she can help.

P.s good luck.

Re: No sex drive!

This does happen after the birth of children and most of the time us mums are so tired that the only thing we want to do in bed is sleep!

Sometimes a bit of gentle encouragement helps.Making time for you and your husband to be alone,nice meal ,gentle back rubs etc etc....and you may find something you lost a while back!

Re: No sex drive!

Same thing with me, i had my son 11weeks ago and i still havnt had sex, i think the whole time i was pregnant i had sex maybe 5 times. Im just not interested anymore, i dont know why. I do feel bad on my partner but im not ready yet  to resume having sex. I also had a tough birth. Needing an episiotom and the baby needed vaccume extraction, so i think my freiend down tehre needs a break lol

Re: No sex drive!

Hi  I thought i was the only one as no one seems to talk about this.  I had my child 2 years ago by c section and ad alot of trouble with infections and have not been interested in sex since.  I thought there was something wrong with me.  I do need to lose some weight and don't feel comfortable with myself at the moment.  last time i was at the doctors, I asked him about this and the answer was that this is a normal thing to happen and refered me to a councellor.  I have not yet made this call as I feel uneasy about it.  I know this is not advise but i am happy to know I am not the only one,  not that this helps you at all.  i hope things get better for you.

Re: No sex drive!

Hi there,i am in te same boat..i have lost my sex drive when i had my child 3 year ago by a c section..i love my husband and kids to bits but when my husband wants it i do it to make him happy,i dont feel comfortable with myself either..not sure if i should see a doc as we havnt properly "had it" in months as we both work,different shifts..when my husbands home i go to work..when i'm home my husband works..my husband loves me to bits and feels the same..feels like we just sleep together and cuddle but thats it..i'd maybe ask medical advice first just on your own..i might have to do that if we are wanting another child ..good luck  and all the best

Re: No sex drive!

This isn't really advice, I just want to let you know I am exactly the same way.  I used to be pretty good at "servicing his manhood" even though I didn't feel like it, but now I even struggle to do that.  I make it a point to "hit on" my husband at least once a month but otherwise he's quite understanding.  There's no pressure from him, as long as we don't go toooooo long .  I'm trying to loose some weight though hoping that then I will feel better about myself and will be more willing to get our sex life back into the weeklies instead of monthlies.  So, I don't know if it's normal or not, but you're not alone!

Re: No sex drive!

 I think this happens to most of us from time to time for what ever reason. But if this has been happening since the birth of your  last child 3 years ago, I would advise you to go and see your doctor. It might be sommething as simple as a hormone imbalance.

I wish you well.
