uninterested in sex...

i had ds 8 months ago and have become progressivelt less and less interested in having sex with my dp. we had a fantastic sex life before i got pregnant. i absolutely loved it with dp. i don't know what to do as i love hime very much and i really want to get back to where we were previously. I think there are 3 reasons why things are not happening: - 1. i am knackered all the time 2, still breastfeeding which i have heard can lead to lower libido and 3, and this one i feel bad about saying but my dp has put on loads of weight since i got pregnant and i just don't find him as physically attractive as i used to. Help...i really want to change this situation. i am also on the mini pill which may be affecting it. How do i get back to the great sex we used to have..will it ever be the same again. it is so annoying as i had a fab home birth with no need for stiches or anything intervention so that is not the reason for feeling like this...

i need advice!!!!

It will get better!!! Honest

However - sometimes it does become a "habit" not to do it

mini pill also may not be helping
good luck

Every one of the reasons you have listed can be a major passion killer never mind the 3 together, good news is that it does get better, just takes a wee while.
Get your DP into healthy eating and going out walks with the pram, to support your efforts to get your figure back
