Sex and a newborn…

Had my baby in November and we’ve been back to our normal sex life in December. Xx

Please dont feel any shame about your sex life - whether people are having sex every night or can't imagine sex until their baby is 2 or everything in between - please don't feel any shame or judgement. You have to do what feels right for you and take things at your own pace.

Lol I haven’t had sex with my husband for about a year! Went through ivf, real bad pregnancy and now I have a baby that sleeps in the same room in the next to me crib lol and I am tired. I am hoping once baby is in his own room we will.

We had ours early November, 1st time was in February. 2 more times since then, we actually had the conversation the other day about trying to make time for it.

We have but I'll be honest I feel a bit weird about it atm, I've never felt weird about sex in my life so it's very confusing I can't pinpoint the problem. We've had it every couple of weeks since December but I could happily go without rn.

I had my first baby in November and we’re doing it 4/5 a week. We put the white noise machine on and she sleeps right through it all😅x

I had my baby in November too and we’ve probably only done it 3/4 times since x

We went back to normal as soon as the 6 week check…my partner was gagging for it after not doing it a lot during pregnancy but luckily enough he doesn’t have a huge sex drive so once or twice a week for us is pretty much normal. We have done it in bed with the next to me but we don’t have the side down of ours because we also have a dog that sleeps on our bed (and yep he is in the room during the dirty deed too 😂)

We’ve had it quite a few times since having our baby early November. I was 3.5 weeks post partum x

We’ve had sex once since our little girl was born beginning of November. I healed quickly but I’m just not interested or in the mood tbh. We have a 4 year old too so by the time bedtime comes around, I don’t want anyone touching me 😂 It gets better over time, especially once baby goes into their own room. I found it super weird having them right next to us even though they have no idea what’s going on if they wake!

Had my baby 21st October. Sex twice. First time lasted about 30 seconds and I called it quits because it was painful. Second time I was just so distracted I couldn't enjoy it at all. I'm not in any rush to repeat. Like you mentioned, I explained to my partner that right now it feels like she takes up so much of my brain space there isn't much room for anything else. I couldn't be present for it.

Please don’t feel ashamed. I have a November baby and am a first time mum and also haven’t, baby is in a next to me and it doesn’t feel right whilst she’s in the room but also doesn’t feel right to sneak off to the spare room. Also I’m incredibly tired as baby is waking through the night and my body has changed so much I don’t feel very comfortable plus it also doesn’t feel like my body anymore from breastfeeding.

You go back to your sex life when you’re ready. I had my baby at the beginning of November and we didn’t have sex until January. We then were at it all the time and then It took a dip. Your whole life changed when you have a baby. We use the spare room as I could never do anything in the same room as baby, however we use the camera monitor and just set it up on the side on a medium volume x

We had set at 5 weekd post section and then not again until around 8/9 weeks. We are back up to about twice a week now but he had to stop the other day and she had woken in the next to me and was watching 🤣🤣 so we are getting imaginative with daytime quickies elsewhere haha x

Back to normal for a bit, but turns out I have POP and can't do nothing now 😵‍💫
