Sex after birth!

[HuskySnow]

I really don't know what's wrong with me lately. After my baby was born 3 and a half months ago, we couldn't wait to have sex again, we waited until the 6 week mark then we did. And since then we have a couple of times a week. About 2 months ago I became tired from being anemic but tablets soon sorted that out. But the last week or so, I've been in all sorts of moods. Some nights I just want to cuddle my partner, others I've wanted to be intimate but as soon as my head hits the pillow I'm suddenly really tired, and the last few nights as soon as I've laid down I've felt really sick.
I don't know what to do, as I feel like I'm letting my partner down. He says it's all ok, but I can tell it's not really. And the annoying thing most of the time I want to be intimate as well!
There is no strain in our relationship either.

Hormones take such a long time to settle back down. And to get used to the lack of sleep!
I only really felt myself and back to normal sex wise and having the energy to stay awake well after 6 months.
Just be totally open and honest and talk about it. Maybe find a different time to be intimate that works better for you?

Thank you! I think it's nice to know I'm not the only one!
We made the effort last night and were in bed alot earlier than normal and that really worked for us!

There's such a thing as sexual snacking when you can't be arsed with the full works...

Three and a half months is still tiny. Give yourselves time and talk openly and honestly. If you can get to a point where you're sharing tasks equally so you're both equally knackered, you should be on a level playing field!

It's never going to be exactly the same as pre-baby. You've just got to work with where you're at now and find something that works. Pretending nothing has changed will just stress you out more.
