Low/no sex drive

I have very very little to no sex drive at all. My partner says he’s not bothered by this but it must do a little. It’s been months now! I just can’t get in the mood. I struggle to start it and struggle with the whole instigation of it and it kind of cringes me out 😬 we have a 2 year old who’s just recently went in his own room and I’m currently Pregnant which definitely doesn’t help Please help, how can I stop being cringed out by the beginning of it all. once we’re into it I’m fine but I just cant let go. I’ve been with him 8 years and kids have definitely changed this for us. Tips on increasing my libido would be great too

I also struggle with this. I spoke with a gyno, therapist, etc and it can be so complex for reasons why women have low libido but it’s relatively common. Both gyno and therapist said going through pregnancy can completely change your hormones and sex drive. Best advice so far I’ve heard is to just try to initiate intimacy but not necessarily sexual- it could be cuddling more or spending time together (I know this is hard with a little one) so you increase your connection. I am reading a book titled Matressence” and it’s been really validating for me how little emphasis we put on the life-altering change that women go through when they become mothers. I highly recommend!

Thank you! I will have a look into that book x
