i think i get moments of fleeting appreciation, but that's it. not convinced there's a lot of lusting going on.

been together six years, been either preg or had dd in room for the last year. can you kick start a re-fancification? if so, do tell .

over to you guys

yep, even when i can't stand the way i look he can't take his eyes off me when i'm changing clothes or just wearing something a bit sexier than usual.

and he seems to like my post baby bum a whole lot more than he liked the pert slinky pre baby one... thankfully as there's no going back on that front (or should that be behind? )

by the sounds of it it's more a case of you feeling less sexy in general than of him having less attraction for you, which will sort itself out as your baby gets older and you start to feel yourself again. remember she's still very young.... between having dd and getting preg again at 9 months dp and i barely had sex at all..... how he managed to knock me up is still a mystery to me!

God yes. I can't even unload the washing machine without him dry humping me from behind (Why do they think that gets you in the mood?!)

I still get lots of compliments from him. He is lovely really

I agree with what has been said though, if you don't feel good about yourself you will not beleive he fancies you even if he does. A bit of self confidence goes a long way in the bathroom.....

yep, and there is more than enough physical proof to show it

although, the way my DH is, he would get it up for a minger !

No, but it's ok because I don't fancy him either!

I think the thing that works best is if you fancy yourself then you give off vibes that make him fancy you.

The thing that makes it all go wrong is whining to him that you think he doesn't fancy you anymore.

I think it is more about behaviour and mannerisms than physical appearance a lot of the time.

Being a mother doesn't make you not sexy anymore. You can be a sexy mother - you can be the one who makes motherhood look sexy. Even if you wear tracksuits! Even if I'm wearing scruffy clothes I feel sexy from doing really small things like my makeup, wearing a necklace, wearing sexy sandals in the house (sometimes with socks, god I'm sad ) I've made myself sound like a right goon! But it seems to work for me anyway.
