How are we ever going to have another?!

[Bubbless]

Hiya, weird problem!
Me and my dp have a beautiful dd an would like to try for another in January.. But I just don't want to have sex with him! I love him, I find him amazingly attractive, but I don't get that much out of sex and I'm always tired after looking after my 7mo!

So.. How do we have another baby if I don't want sex?! Anyone else in the same situation?!

I'm not in the same situation but didn't want to read and runs so the only thing I can say to you is....
You've not long given birth and your very busy with your new baby so it's not very surprizing that sex is not your number 1 priority. Your sex life will come back it just takes time. Oh and Congratulations xxx

Hey bubbless
my dd is 21 months and only now she has reduced bf has my libido returned- the hormones make you not want sex as your body is hard at work in other ways and i suppose in evolutionary terms it doesn't want you to get pregnant again too soon.

But even if you're not bf, the pregnancy and early motherhood hormones will still be swooshing around somewhere! Give it time and go easy on yourself.

7 months is very young. Don't think my libido returned until around 1.

So there is hope for my baby making yet!
It's just weird got think that all of those hormones are still there, because you just feel so normal and on top of everything!!x

Your body is probably telling you to give babymaking a rest for a few months. Go easy on yourself, don't obsess about timings, and focus on getting your life back a bit - more women feel like you than not 7 months after birth I reckon.

It's definitely harder conceiving no.2!

Charting your cycle, ovulation sticks etc. and all those things you never had to give a thought to with your first are your friend!
