I have no feeling to have sex since pregnant until now (baby is 6th month now). We have no sex for 1+yrs.. Is it normal? Tried once after pregnancy but failed. As my breast is full of milk =.='' And I have no feeling to have sex anymore. As I got satisfaction from breastfeeding? I scared it may affect our relationship... should i stop breastfeeding soon?

I resumed sex when baby was 4 months old. For me, I was worried about the wound pain and need some times to conquer the fear. But after I resumed, actually it was not as bad as I thought. I think it is very normal to have low sex desire after having baby as you are exhausted to take care of baby during the daytime. However, as much as you love your baby, you should take care of your husband too. You can find ways to trigger your sex desire, e.g. touching and etc. that both of you feel comfortable. You can talk to you husband about your feelings so he can accommodate too. As for the breasts full of milk, you can pump out the milk before the activity and this works for me too. You will find your vagina is a bit dry due to breastfeeding and you can use non-petroleum based lubricant to ease the pain. It is not necessary to stop breastfeeding at all.
