When did you get your libido back?

[AngelsAckiz]

Hello, I would like to ask how long after giving birth did you get your sex drive back?

I have a high sex drive and so does DP. We are TTC and I'm a little concerned about when we can start having sexy times again.

I know I will need to heal and I'll be tired etc. But I want to hear your stories.

With my first baby I was back in the saddle 3 weeks after, 2nd baby I had post natal depression and didn't want sex for 18 months and third baby I was gagging for it within a few weeks. Everyone's stories will be different, if you're lucky and mind and body are in good shape you should be ok!

That's my hope! Thanks. We have a very affectionate and tactile relationship and my hope is that it won't change too much. Privacy will be out main issue I reckon!

My first about 4 months 😣. Everytime we tried it just hurt and felt uncomfortable and still had the extra weight puttinf me off.

2nd was about 6 weeks

11 years and counting... :(

Care to expand on that? What is putting you off? Alternatively, what is making you uninterested in having sex?

With mine it was about 7 months before it wasn't too painful.

Combination of long lasting PND, stress and worry of bringing up two children and just not feeling the urge anymore.

The desire to kiss, cuddle, connect and be close is there, but no sexual urge to satisfy.

Thanks and sorry to hear that.
I’m assuming you have a DP?

But... having exhausted all other avenues your post answers many questions for me about my DW who sounds to be in exactly the same position (although 9 years and counting).
Hope things get better for you.

Having sex around 3 months after giving birth. Proper horny up for it libido back sex 2 years both times.

I’ve heard until you have finished bleeding from the birth, they usually say about 6 weeks xx
