Sex Draught

With my 1st child my hubby was very patient with me and we didn't actually have sex for 5 months after she was born, with me it was psychological as i had had 2nd degree tearing which made me worry about it hurting during sex, but after a smear test i realized it didn't hurt and my hubby thought all his birthdays had come at once!! ;p

With my 2nd child i was actually mentally/physically ready for sex sooner but through for some reason when we decided to do it one of the kids would wake up!

What you have to remember is that sex is not the be all and end all in a relationship, you both have to be understanding to each others needs. There are things you can do if sex is missing, little things like share a shower, cuddle on the sofa anything you can think of just to keep that closeness you had before bubs came along.

But also bear in mind...it will come back eventually!!
