No interest in sex since birth of first child

I used to have a really high sex drive. But since I had my first child (nearly 4 years ago) I've lost all interest. I knew it might take some time to come back after giving birth, but it never did. I can just completely do without it now and nearly makes me cringe if dp tries it on. (he gave up trying though about 2 years ago). Now I'm pregnant again and obviously had sex as we both wanted another child, but I did not particularly enjoy it. It was purely a means to an end. That was 6 months ago and I haven't had the desire to since. I feel like there is something wrong with me. I want to be able to get back to normal after this pregnancy but I fear I've lost it forever. Has this happened to anyone else?

How much time have you had in between pregnancies / breastfeeding / having regular cycles without hormonal contraception? Pregnancy and breastfeeding can absolutely wreck your hormone levels - mine disappears and it takes about 5-6 regular cycles for it to come back at all.

Could of written this myself! Had twins 5 months ago and only had sex twice since. I just don't want it, I too feel like there's something wrong with me, feel like it will ruin our relationship if it's not sorted out. I'm only 28 :/
