Feeling pressured by my husband

I had my baby 8 weeks ago and I am just not ready to have sex. I have no desire, I still have little twinges of pain here and there and I do not feel aroused with my baby nearby. I get irritated when he makes jokes or advances. I am not on birth control yet either. I feel really sad too that he doesn’t understand that and keeps pushing the idea. I do feel guilty sometimes but also I just feel like why tf can’t he understand what I went/ am going through?? Anyone else feel similarly? Any advice?

It took 12 weeks and I was tipsy af because when we tried previously, it just hurt so bad. If you’re not against drunkish sex and you get to a day where YOU are in the mood, I recommend being a bit intoxicated. I can’t relate to the overwhelming urge from my partners, but I do understand the pain.

Tell him you’ll only do it with condoms. Maybe he will layoff then?? My husband has been trying but I don’t get on bc until next week and then it takes a week for it to work. He doesn’t want to wear a condom but also doesn’t want anymore kids. So he decided to wait lol

I really hate this for you. I went through the EXACT same thing. Same feeling & all. We waited 8 weeks with our first & it still hurt some. This time, we went about 7 & a half weeks. I honestly only sis it bc he was doing the same things... the jokes & the advances🙄 I just wanted him to shut tf up. I don't think they fully comprehend like what our bodies go through. They know but they also don't know. I wasn't feeling the least bit sexy or pretty AT ALL. I was still cramping a little bit here & there, then it was hard finding the time bc baby wanted to be under me so much. Just keep reiterating how you feel & give yourself time.

Ugh, I’m so sorry😩 I’m definitely not ready (will be 9 wks pp on Monday), and honestly not sure I will be for a while. I’m seeing a pelvic floor pt to help with recovery & healing, and she has recommended a) waiting until I’m ready, and b) lots of lube! She also said after working together that she guarantees the best sex moving forward. I’ve heard from so many friends & family that they did it too soon and weren’t ready😞
