Sex drive

Anyone struggle with sex drive after having a baby? I had my child over a year ago, but still having this issue. Not only do I have no interest in it, when I do it for my partner anyways, I don’t feel great. It’s uncomfortable and even slightly painful. Any type of stimulation to my breasts or body makes me feel so mentally and physically off that I cringe. And sometimes even feel anger.

Are you breastfeeding or having your period? I'm still breastfeeding at 18 months and have not had a period and have zero sex drive. Our bodies aren't hormonally geared towards making more babies right now because we're still trying to keep one alive lol

I feel the same. I feel horrible because my husband wants to have sex and I never want too. I’m exhausted and never in the mood. It’s still painful. My ob told me to do pelvic floor exercises

I have the same problem.. I also get all the time BV after being intimate with my partner. We tried everything but it’s coming back as soon as we are intimate..

@Vanessa your husband needs to be treated as well! It's technically an std (does NOT mean he cheated on you! Could just mean his biological balance is off too) and you both need to be treated or it will keep coming back every time you have sex. Also I highly recommend NeuEve for everyone in this thread. They have a variety of products specifically designed to help us get our biome back in balance! A great resource for recurrent BV without needing antibiotics. Antibodies kill all the bacteria, good and bad, while NeuEve helps restore the natural balance of bacteria.

@Chloe thank you so much Chloe!!! 🥹

@Vanessa also, you are SO pretty! I wish we didn't live in different countries 😭 because you look so cool and fun!

@Chloe omg thank you 😭 I suddenly miss you and don’t even know you 🥹 I could say the same about you!!

@Vanessa kindred spirits across the pond! 😭 maybe one day we could meet, if I ever make it to Europe 🤞🏻
