Haha, OliviaRinHerts! I think breastfeeding has lots to do with it. I have to be honest and admit, too that I've hated every single second of breastfeeding, there is nothing I've liked about it, but I felt it was my duty to my baby, he is an on and off every 5 seconds type of feeder who digs his nails in and screams constantly during, but clearly he loves his milk so I refused to give up...
Yep, having an episiotomy really doesn't help either. Urgh!
I have to say, though, that my husband has been extremely understanding about everything, he has had a difficult time recently and I suppose it has put a big strain on us but he doesn't pressure or nag (but would clearly jump at the chance) which has helped me in a way... Saying that, I do wonder if he had asked more if I would have 'got it over with', poor hubbies, they can't win, haha.
Those of you who are saying that some years later you're still enjoying a good sex life do give me hope, I know it's a generic thing to say but previous to being a mum I was very sexually confident and loved sex etc.
Basically the before and after versions of me, in nearly every aspect are completely different but I don't want to place too much emphasis on sex, like Florin, I believe it's important but I don't think I could maintain as diverse and exciting sex life as I once did because ultimately I really am not that fussed...
