Intimacy after baby

Just curious how people have managed intimacy so early post partum? 🤣 I saw a poll about when people had started having s3x again and can’t believe how many have managed to by 1 month. My sons a month old and I’m not bothered about having s3x but anytime me and my partner try to even cuddle in bed or have any intimacy, watch a show together or anything then baby wakes up and needs seeing to. Feels impossible!! Will we ever be able to do stuff together again?! 😂

Ahaha I laughed at my 6-week check when she asks about my contraception .... my babies are my contraception the best barrier method you could ask for ! X

@Amber I did the same with the health visitor 🤣 just don’t understand how people find the time!! Props to them x

you will get to be intimate again😅 with my first we waited almost 6 weeks (i had a 2nd degree tear and any earlier would have been too scary, plus 6 weeks is best anyway because of the internal wound). until around then baby was waking a lot so wouldn't have worked! you will get to the point where you can though, all babies are different so we're all on slightly different timelines with it, it'll be lovely when you eventually can xx

i sat here thinking the same last night 🤣 finally got all cozied up with my partner in bed and little one woke up wanting to feed. no idea how people fall pregnant so quickly hahaha

@Abby honestly would love to know, my family all have kids 10/11 months apart 🤣 not even sleeping together that bothers me but tried to have a cuddle last night as hubby goes back to work today and literally couldn’t even get to the cuddling stage before baby woke up! And with breast feeding the demand is all on me so hubby goes straight to sleep anyway !! 😭🤣

I totally get it with missing out on intimacy. I too laughed when I was lectured about contraception. I've literally just had a baby, and had major surgery, making another baby is the last thing on my mind. Intimacy doesn't exist anymore either as there's neither the time or the spark... having an ugly c section scar isn't the most attractive feature. I totally get you on breastfeeding. Its all on us while our partner gets to fall asleep. My partner's sleep and hobbies have remained more or less the same after having our baby, mine are non existent now lol.
