life after baby.

my baby is 5 months old. me and her dad haven’t done anything sexual. I am not turned on by anything anymore. I am just focused on looking after my baby. He works 5 days a week so I do most of the work. I feel tired by the time he comes home and don’t feel he spends enough time with our child on his day off and he says he is tired from work. Im not sure if this also plays a part with me not being in the mood with him aswell as tired. or there’s something wrong with me since having the baby. just wondering is anyone else felt like this or am I just strange

Don’t worry this is totally normal, I feel the exact same it’s been 3 months and I’m never in the mood. My situation is similar too, I do mostly all the work and my partner is just lazy on his days off, so you’re not alone there. Babies can have a huge strain on relationships, your a new mum and understandably your tired and you have a big priority now, and so your partner may feel pushed aside. I know my partner does. Definitely speak with him and voice how you feel, it’s definitely best to communicate with these things because otherwise they just build up and make you feel so guilty when it’s not your fault. I hope all goes well messages are always open ❤️

That's so normal. My LO is 7 months and we kiss at most 😂 We just are so focused on being parents there will be time and place to be lovers or even married couple again but not right now. The priorities do change 😊

@Lauren thank you I’m going to talk to him about it as I can feel his attitude sometimes and know it’s because he has needs. He handles it very well tho but don’t want it to get to that point. thanks again Lauren x

@Klaudia thank you I feel better now x

I'm 4 months pp and I'm in the same situation. I do miss my hubby but I feel like we have just drifted apart since our little girl was born.

10 months pp and still haven't been sexual together. The boy just won't sleep so until he does, neither of us have the energy. I also haven't had my period yet so there's no sexual desire there

My LO is 8 months old and we’ve done it maybe 5 or 6 times? My libido has disappeared completely and I feel awful about it, we’re always really tired and he’s awake most mornings between 3-5am for work so it’s been tough. But I’m sure things will be okay 🙂

@Yasmina same and I feel awkward bringing it up idk how to x

@Hazel I hear you I hope things get better for you babes x

@Maggie fingers crossed for us x

thank you everyone it’s nice to know I’m not alone with these feelings but hope we all get back to normal soon xx

I honestly don't know how to bring it up either 😫 it's been on my mind for quite some time now and I just daren't say anything

@Yasmina honestly it’s not an easy topic to bring up. maybe bc of my religion it was never a comfortable topic in my house
