Sex drive/ sex life
I know this probably isn’t on most people’s minds but I’m 6 weeks PP and we have tried to have sex a few times now. It just really hard to enjoy it. Had a c section. I don’t have any pain. But I’m worried about the baby, trying to reconnect with my hubby and not feel like roommates, build intimacy since we aren’t cuddling and sharing a bed due to sleeping in shifts, and actually be in the mood. I have thought about our old sex life and I think for me the foreplay and the mental stimulation sounds more exciting than actually having sex. Just cuddling and making out honestly sounds more fun. Just want to know if others just aren’t 100% or feeling similar. I want to have sex but it’s just not as exciting or satisfying as it used to be. Is it hormones? When does it get better or like it used to be?

Just because you are cleared at 6 weeks doesn’t mean your physically or emotionally ready at 6 weeks. I would suggest talking with your partner about maybe doing more foreplay sessions for a bit and maybe that’ll lead you to wanting more over time!
I had a c section and I’m 7 weeks pp on Saturday we have tried twice I had slight pain. But other than that I really don’t have the want to actually have sex I would much rather cuddle and watch a movie.. it makes the boyfriend so mad but I can’t help how I feel…

It definitely could be the hormones or the sheer lack of sleep it’s important to maintain intimacy with your partner however intimacy doesn’t necessarily mean sex it does get better with time
