Myself and my OH have just last night rekindled our sex life after 9 months! Our LO is 6 months old and the last time we had had sex was Feb as we weren't living in the same country for the last few months of pregnancy. Don't feel like you are the only one - i think it's more common than people like to admit! x

Thank God I'm not the only one. I have no sex drive one day and then a bit the next and I have decided to leave it a bit longer and hopefully my OH will feel the need to spoil me a bit more and things will happen in thier own time. Not sure wether this really works but my BF used sexy books to get herself going and she said it really worked well to kick start things asshe was scared of starting someting she couldnt finish. my hubby is also a bit down with the issue but when we talked about it he was very keen to say he was not putting pressure on me . I think he just needed me to tell him exactly what my limits were . Hoping we can have a chilled out evening tonight in my long night dress LOL!!!

Hi I haven't had my first baby yet, but to me it stands to reason you won't be in the mood for a while after baby what with all the hormones and fatigue etc. Also apparently the less you have sex the less you want it, so desire has to 'kick started' (in women anyway). Have a look on the tinty there may be some articles on it that can help?. Errm may be buy some nice new undies etc and give it a go even tho you're not in the mood - you may get in the mood? Ha ha I'm one to talk I'm 36 weeks preg and feel very unsexy at the mo! Hope you get your mojo back soon, sure you will xx

its completely normal! It takes time... I think at that point after having my daughter - we had had sex once...

maybe try and find time of an evening to just snuggle or cuddle together - its the time to discover each other again, as things you like or find arousing may well have changed
