Intimacy with partner
Show your support
I'm 5 months pp. Some day I'm like sex is gross and shouldn't be a thing and other days I'm the opposite. We have had sex since having our little girl and it's oddly healing tbh. I still hate my new body and hate the way I feel day to day. I would start small like Vicky says with cuddles and stuff like that. Maybe even a date night on the sofa if you're able to
Me n my partner haven’t since the night I went into labour 6 months ago (we only did it that night in he hopes of inducing labour and it worked lol). I didn’t heal well after an episiotomy, plus our boy wakes to feed every hour of the night and I have no energy or drive at allllll. So you are absolutely not alone xx
You are not alone and hats off to your understanding husband! When it happens I am sure you will feel connected again x
You are not a terrible wife! And don't think that everyone else is out there having sex all the time or easily either cause I'm sure they are not!! We are lucky if we do it once every week, realistically once every 10 days and we literally schedule it in. I pushed myself at 5 weeks to get back into it and my hubby was really understanding and we took things slow. We aren't back to normal yet either but it does get better and easier each time. Id recommend to start slow, get more intimate in other ways...cuddles on the couch, extra kisses and general day to day touch etc and build from there. Speak to your hubby about it and give yourselves a goal of X time/or a date to have sex perhaps so you can work towards it through chatting, dating at home once baby is down, cuddling etc. It will all be fine!! But don't feel pressured, our bodies have been through lots!!
