Need sex advice
| Wed, 04-25-2007 - 9:50pm |
Hey, im new to this but desperately need some help. I just had a baby four months and am nursing him. In the past my husband and i have had no problems with our sex life. Now its non-existent. And its not him. Its me. Ive heard that nursing can do this, but it didnt with my other two boys whom i also nursed. Do you have any advice?

Hi texasmomma and welcome to the board,
Every pregnancy is different and therefore the hormonal changes can also effect you differently from one pregnancy to the next, even while nursing.
Do you think it's becuase you are tired?
Sometimes exhaustion, chemical changes after pregnancy and nursing, or other inner feelings can temporarily suspend sexual desire. Sometimes depression causes this. Give yourself a little time to adjust to the new child, the nursing and your own body now. Rest up, communicate with your husband in all other ways, be open, talk, share feeings, listen, do massages and find a way to spend some quality time together. If your sexual desire does not return on its own in a reasonable amount of time, consult a physician or psychologist.
All the best,
