No sex drive postpartum

So my baby is now 9 weeks, my husband and I had sex at 6weeks for the first time and I thought I’d be more wet after waiting so long but I was super dry. Since then I haven’t initiated sex at all. I don’t even think about it or want it even though we have done it maybe 5 times since the baby has been here but is it normal to have no sex drive at all after having a baby? Pre pregnancy and even during pregnancy I always initiated but idk what happened. I don’t get turned on at all, even looking at porn, which would have previously gotten me really turned on but now, nothing! I feel so bad for my husband, I am so uninterested in him. Even being affectionate with him has died. I used to be the MOST affectionate woman to my man. Is this temporary? Has anyone experienced this before?

Sadly I don’t have any advice for you, but I’ve been going through this as well and it’s really got me bummed out these days. It’s got me feeling broken and that something is wrong with me. My partner and I have been very “intimate” this month but it’s in quotes cause to be honest I’ve just laid there and half smiled when he’s done. I’m hoping it gets better but our little one is already 4 months so I’ve been getting discouraged and feel like I just have to accept that there’s no sensation there

hey hun, hope your okay. This happened to me too and one thing I can say is just give yourself some grace. You just pushed a human out and your body is trying to get back to the state it was before your beautiful baby came into this world. Also your now taking care of a new baby so your mind and body is in a completely different state now. Maybe try taking things slow like just cuddles and kisses then ease yourself in. Your body is still healing so give it time. But you will eventually get back into it.

I have the same issue. Except my baby is now 6 months and we havent been able to have sex. I feel so dry and lube burns. When we did try it was painful so my husband wasnt able to get in properly. I would also also appreciate advice from someone that’s been there!

I haven’t had absolutely any sex drive since my daughters been born (5m) and personally I’m not mad about, if we’re being honest I don’t think I’ll ever have sex again . I honestly don’t think I ever actually enjoyed sex . I’m sorry you’re dealing with that but I don’t think it will be forever, it’s probably transitional for you , having a baby flips your whole life around and it takes a while to get used to

@Arooj Good morning, sorry I wrote in an earlier post for natural lube you can research about aloe vera so you can make your own lube to avoid irritation & promotes more wetness after using for 3 week or more time, if you need more info let me know in the comments and i can write it here. Best of luck, God Bless You Always! 🙏🏾
