How long is a woman's sex drive decreased after giving birth? Prior to pregnancy sex was 1-2x a week, but now it's more like 1-2x a month. Our baby is really good and is not demanding in terms of free time, etc.

Hi

I had the same issue. I thought: Hell, it is bad enough to lose your standing as your wife's number one to a yeowling demanding brat, but to lose the sex as well!!! Now that sucks.

Well, things improved slowly, now my wife's sex drive is more than before but it took over a year...Spend as much time with your new kid as possible. The time is precious and it goes so fast.

YummyMummy agony auntIs there a grand parent who can have the baby for a night to give your partner and you complete alone time? I don't know from experience after birth sex drive but I am 5 months pregnant and am hardly ever in the mood.

My sister had a baby last September and it was a horrid birth but my niece is a well behaved child but she still was never up for any sex. I only kinda found out because her partner started making comments to her about it. Not the way to go about it but there we go.

They had a night on their own first, then they went away for the weekend. My sister felt a little guilty at first of leaving the baby behind but as a couple you need time for you as well as being a family. Plus the grandparents love it when they get their grandaughter over night.

Maybe your partner is really tired? My sister was adament she didnt want sex ever again cause she didn't want to have to go through labour again. Try talking to your partner about it and see what she says. Don't make her feel pressurised though.
