I have had issues with sex in the past due to some bad experiences but I thought I was past all that. Since having my baby last year however I have been finding sex difficult. To start with it was all the obvious things like being exhausted and coping with being a new mum etc so I didn't worry too much but things with the baby have settled down now and I still feel uncomfortable with sex.
I am happy with being intimate in other ways and DH are very affectionate with each other - I just don't feel relaxed about sex. I don't feel very comfortable with my body which is part of it and I also feel like I have taken a bit of a step backwards in terms of earlier issues that I had.
I haven't spoken to DH about it - I don't think it would go down very well. It hasn't really come up as he is so busy with work we haven't had a huge amount of time for it anyway but I feel worried about it myself. I am not sure what sort of steps I can be taking to resolve these issues.
