sorry if this is a bit persona but I'm just interested how quickly you resumed your sex life after the baby was born.
I know breast feeding causes physiological changes that are designed to supress our sex drives so have you all found this has been the case?
My EBF DS is 14 weeks old, we haven't had sex since he was born and I have absolutely no desire for it at all Last night I sensed that my DH was trying to get a bit amorous and all I could think was, "I hope he doesn't want sex...."
He asked me a good few weeks ago when we'd be able to have sex again and I avoided the question...
When I had my 10 week post-natal check my GP asked me about contraception and my plan was always to have a Mirena but I haven't actually gone and had it done. Maybe its because then I'll have no excuses to not have sex
I do wonder though if maybe I just don't want to do it because getting pregnant again would be the absolute worst thing. I know the likelihood of this is miniscule but even the most remotest possibility of it happening petrifies me!!
disclaimer: my DH is in no way putting any pressure on me, I don't want anyone to get that impression
