How long after having your baby did it take for you and DP/DH to start having regular sex again ?

[PLaurel19]

I don't mean because of healing after the birth, I mean more relationship wise... My baby is almost 9 months and I can count on my hands how many times me and DH have had sex since baby was born

Honestly - probably about six months but we do make the effort to keep that part active as much as possible.

Any ideas why? What was your sex life like before baby?

We never waited long at all and was back to usual frequency. DH always did his share of parenting and housework etc so we were equally knackered!

My baby is three and I can also count on both hands...

Probably not what you want to hear :)

14 months and can count on one hand!

Until we started TTC again 😂 to be honest it took around 3 years so it wasn't a one hit wonder.

I had an instrumental delivery with episiotomy so I was far too sore and tender, it was 6 months after DS before we had sex again.

Currently 22 weeks and have only DTD once, it's exhausting running round after a toddler and being pregnant.

We used to have sex every single night not expecting that again but once a week would be nice!
Need to make more effort...
It's SO hard to jump into sexy mum mode after battling baby to sleep every night haha

Totally understand OP.

Maybe set up a (at home) date night? Have you spoken to your DH about it at all?

We have a near 6 month old and it's been 2 or 3 times.
No bother, we're both fucked most of the time so it's kind of on hold at the moment.

About 6 weeks after baby was born

For us, we are just getting back into it now. Our children are 2.5 and 3.5. Maybe every ten days at the moment. It's all we can manage and that's ok. Are you not happy?

After just a few weeks with my third DC (easy birth). I bottle fed and every three nights we'd get romantic and then my DH slept in the spare room with the baby and did the night feeds and I conked out and got a solid 8 hours sleep.

Couple of months. In both cases I had been advised to wait for PIV sex until after 8 weeks as the births were rough. We had done other stuff earlier, probably a month. Didn't breastfeed though, I understand that often goes along with lower libido.

3 months

About a month/6 weeks
