Hate being touched since having kids, anyone else?

I don't know if this is trauma from my almost 4 year olds emergency section birth, or even from my almost 3 year olds natural labour which left me with pain and discomfort around and inside my vagina. Or even trauma from their dad cheating on me. I have no desire to have sex and the very few times we did, it was painful and not enjoyable at all. When I tell you before the children, I was very sexual and loved sex. I don't know if this is just who I am now, or if I could get help. Whenever I've talked to my GP about this and feeling low she just fobs me off and so I'm unsure where to turn. Hence asking you lovely lot as if anyone understands a mum it's another mum 😃 It makes me think there's no point ever looking for another relationship, not that i have any inclination now but in the future because how do you tell someone you hate being touched 😂 I used to love cuddling, I don't know who the hell I am anymore xx

You're touched out and that is normal. You have little ones that constantly need you. And on top of that being cheated on makes that worse. You'll get back to your old self as your kids become more independent and maybe having counseling if you're still with the one that cheated if you are staying together.

I’m sure there’s some kind of maybe therapist that would help definitely sounds like trauma!! And I sure could not imagine feeling that way I’m so sorry!! Don’t give up!! You deserve all the love and happiness in the world

First I would see a pelvic floor specialist/women's health physio because your vagina should not still be hurting 3 years later Then I think there are sex therapists, like psychologists who specialise in sex.

@Ella I had some internal stitches and I can only imagine it's something to do with that perhaps. Not sure if there's someone who can check that?
