No Libido And Pain During Sex...Uhg!

I have a beautiful six and a half month baby, a gorgeous and understanding husband, no period and a painful sex-life... By this point in the post pregnancy I was sure things would be getting back to normal in the intimacy department. However, sex is rather painful and I am dry and raw. I have little to no desire and I fear my sex drive will never return! At this point I rack it up to hormones. Since I haven't had even a hint of a period and I am breastfeeding full time. If you are in the same position, you are not alone!

I feel bad for my husband because we both thought by this point things would be getting better, our daughter is almost 7 months old! Basically I am still wondering what will happen but I am starting to think this is more normal than it feels. So I am just throwing this out there, that if you are like me, don't worry. My doctor said when women in this position stop breastfeeding things return to normal.. perhaps I will update in the near future :)

Take care out there.

Glad to hear of someone EXACTLY in my shoes!! Mine is only 5 months old and I actually had a C-section. From what I am reading and the only thing I guess I need is to stock up on some lube! Is very frustrating though!

I also had a c-section and am in the same position. I tried KY, but it didn't help. No libido either :(...

I agree

THanks for posting this! I also had a cesarean and didn't expect to not have my sex life back yet (my daughter is also 6 mos old). I used to have a very good sex life and now intercourse is painful and it takes FOREVER to have an orgasm with oral stimulation (which is also very different than before). I'm also breastfeeding full time. I am beginning to get frustrated, not to mention my very understanding husband!!

THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing this. I've been thinking something must be wrong with me because I just am not interested in sex right now. I feel so bad for my husband.
