Will I ever want/enjoy sex again?

I have a 3 month old baby who I’m EBF. Since having him, my sex drive has disappeared completely. It used to be fairly high but now I have zero interest.

Also, my vagina still does not feel “right”. It still feels swollen and tender in places (I was pushing for nearly 3 hours) and the one time I had sex post baby it was very uncomfortable and sore.

DH is amazing, puts absolutely no pressure on me at all and says to take as much time as I need, so there is no issue there. But is this my life now? Will my sex drive ever return and will my vagina ever go back to “normal”?

Yes and yes! My sex drive disappeared after having my DD, she's 2 now and it's pretty much back to normal. Lack of sleep/energy, hormones and a change in priorities take a toll on your sex drive.

Also wrt sex i found that the more i had sex the more comfortable it felt. I had an episiotomy and for a good few months i could really notice the scar tissue and it just generally didn't feel right. Now it feels completely normal.
