Let's talk sex drive: any mamas struggle with sex drive after baby? How long did it take you to get…

I'm 31 weeks and have no drive. :/ Ive read that sometimes some people don't get it back.

Omg me too smh the struggle! I thought it was just me!

@novasmommy11, girl I was a freak before and during pregnancy now I'm just like nope 😕 @jeszarahs_mompage girl it's nearly destroying my relationship something's gotta give !

@hayleymarie, me too. I'm really hoping it comes back. but we still do other things.

I definitely understand you ...now I just don't have the time and energy anymore..smh I be so tired from work and taking care of the baby!😒 he said my slacking!

@novasmommy11, I don't even want other things ...like cuddling is the MOST that I can tolerate

@jeszarahs_mompage, I'm a stay at home mommy and a student and he just doesn't get that I literally have a baby hanging all over me all day so by time he gets home at midnight 1) I'm tired from being up at 6am and 2) I just want some breathing SPACE ...and he doesn't even try to understand plus I have Nexplanon in and a major side effect is decreased sex drive plus exclusively pumping makes me feel like a dairy cow not a human 😔🐮

You might need some "ME" for a day!

*time

same here. I just Dont feel like it. Plus my boobs are sensitive. I still have hemorrhoids... I didn't know that about nexplanon that's what I have

@alicia3_21, I'm sure your boobs are sensitive boo you've got Eddison on them 24/7 ! Mine are too cause I swear I'm always hooked up to my pump trying to get the abundant supply I had back ! ...I never got Hemoroids but my lower tummy feels weird and numb yet in pain still from my c section

o yeah 😖 pumping sucks! and I'm sure the c section would be uncomfortable. but actually I quit using the nipple shield and he only eats for like 15 min every 1.30 hr !! which is such a relief. but I think Hes going through a growth spurt bc Hes been sleeping the pastv2 days non stop

@alicia3_21, That's good ! & yes it does suck but Pai still refuses to latch like she screams holds her breath kicks pushes off of me she does this EVERY time even if I make sure she's not very hungry by giving her a little to eat before trying, nothing works not even the shield so I pump ALL the time I was going 4 hours at a time without pumping but my supply has dropped a bit so I'm now pumping like every 2 hours...I swear our kids go through spurts at the same time cause Pai has basically slept all day !

I'm so sorry :( I wonder why she won't take it. maybe bc a bottle is faster? and that's crazy! there in sync:)

@alicia3_21, in the hospital we tried really hard but the lactation consultant didn't get to me until right before I left and the nurses kept telling me she was latched fine but it felt like a piranah on my nipple and she kept acting like she wasn't getting anything so I caved and gave her supplement formula we tried getting her to latch for almost a month before giving up to exclusively pump then I tried for 2 weeks then quit again about a week ago because the tantrums became too stressful for the both of us it would take me like an hour to calm her down to even eat a bottle ...and yeah I think that's crazy !

O my that's so sad I'm sorry :( but kinda funny about the piranha thing. stupid nurses!!!

@alicia3_21, it sucks but I'm glad I've at least been able to pump and feed her ...even though she refuses to latch she still rubs her face all up on my chest when she's hungry making grunting noises it's pretty funny ! Like I get that breastfeeding hurts at first but it shouldn't feel like your nipple has gone through a cheese grater after being rubbed on sandpaper so I decided enough was enough

yeah I bet that sounds painful. and that is good also. an really cute about the grunting :)

@alicia3_21, she cracks me up when she does it cause I'm like you won't latch but you'll pretend that you do 😂

baby s are so cute with their little personality s lol

Almost a year out and still have trouble getting in the mood 😞 I joke to my hubby that I have erectile dysfunction lol. But really I think it's my bc because its got me on all sorts of wacky hormones. Before pregnancy hubby and I were very...active lol Like multiple times in one day. Now we're lucky to get it three times a week.
