Absolutely zero sex drive
I’m 4 month PP and still exclusively breastfeeding and the thought of having sex actually repulses me. Does this go away? I read it can be down to breastfeeding and being touched all day so I’m not sure if it’s that or hormones or what but I want to be close to my partner, just not in that way. If there anything to help increase sex drive? TMI but have only had 3 orgasms since my son was born and it doesn’t bother me at all, just don’t feel like I need that pleasure but I want to get it back before it causes issues ☹️ (partner is very understanding btw)

I’m 8m PP, also diagnosed with PND at 6w PP so I do take sertraline for that now. I’m not bothered AT ALL about it, I feel it’s a chore now. Being a mum is every type of exhausting 😂 I’m still very attracted to baby’s dad, we tell eachother multiple times a day we love eachother, hug randomly and have a lil kiss so the sexual attraction is still there but sex itself is not on my to do list 😂
When I stopped is when I got it back

I felt like this until recently. I'm 9 pp and yes it will go away. Probably when your LO is introduced to solids. It's breastfeeding, it lowers estrogen and highers prolactin that means we are dryer than normal so we are in baby care mode. I hated it but did begin to feel like me again when my baby was about 7m old. I'm still breastfeeding but i just feel a bit more like me again. Hang in there. It will come back.
