Sex after a baby

This is a thing that people are really divided by. Personally, I can move our next to me cot to the other side of the bedroom as we have a massive top floor bedroom so doesn’t feel like she is right next to us which works. But I understand it may feel too uncomfortable for a lot when baby is literaly in touching distance at the edge of the bed. It’s whatever you are comfortable with - lots manage in the same room, and others go into other rooms when baby is asleep
It personally gives me the ick, and I would never and did never do it with my daughter in the room.
That’s how they got here !😂 if the baby is asleep, what’s it matter. Once they’re old enough to understand then that’s a different story.
We coslept so our baby has never been in the room with us, both me and my partner have spoken about it and we both find it weird to do it in the same room. Not to say this didn't make it more difficult because it has been extremely difficult for us to get any alone time together, made it turn into like a once a month occasion
Me and my husband do while our boy is in our room in his bassinet, he is 9 weeks old and we only do while he is asleep and at the moment he is too young to see anything dodgy so I dont see the problem. He will be in his own room way before he even knows anything and it is not like he will remember x
No, I personally would find it uncomfortable. My daughter was also a loud sleeper
Yes, i did too then you get over it lol they won’t be aware while sleeping. We had our son closer to the other side of the room near the foot of the bed
me personally you can’t expect to make a baby and then not do what you did to bring them here if you choose to have them sleep in your room. it’s not weird if their not right next to your bed. and there sleeping so
Baby doesn't know what's going on and they can not see very well at that age it's fine as long as baby isn't like in the bed during I feel like it's fine
i was a little worried at first more because i wanted to make sure she was okay. but we always made sure she was sound asleep and it was fine!
We couldn't do it with her in the room. Too weird and we couldn't get in the mood and felt way too uncomfortable.
Never whilst baby was in the room. At first we put her in her big cot in the nursery but then all I could think about was if she was okay and couldn’t enjoy it. We luckily now have the grandparents take her out for an hour or so during the week and use that time. It’s not ideal but has kept the intimacy in our relationship.
Unless you literally live in a one room shed I have no idea why anyone would need to do it in the same room. We always left the baby in their cot and moved to another room or if they fell asleep in another room, snuck off to our room.
Yeah baby was in their bassinet asleep. Not ever while awake because that means they’re just gonna pay attention and cry for us haha. But yeah we did it quietly when they were sleeping in the bassinet. On the occasion we’d do the living room maybe. But at this point our son is getting a little too old that I don’t think we will be doing that anymore. A lot of people feel the way you do. I think you just need to make it a priority with your partner. Whether that’s in the same room or different room totally up to you. But just because you have a baby there shouldn’t stop you. As long as they are safe and in their own bed they’re good.
