Sex after having a baby

Hi Mummies, I had my baby boy 4 months back. I am a first time mum and ever since the baby is born, all me and my husband can do is take care of baby and the sleepless nights. It all gets so tiring that we never think about sex. Every time we have a free window, we just want to take rest as night time sleep is not great with baby. How do you all manage to still have sex drive with a baby ? I feel like we are always so tired that sex is the last thing on our minds. We both love each other so so much but don’t have energy these days for sex. Does this get better with time ? #advicepls #firsttimemom

It will get better once you all are less tired. My husband and I went cold turkey for close to 2 years. From mid pregnancy till my LO is 16mo because we are too tired and busy (him with work, me with LO). Now that my LO is older and I got used to the routine, we do allocate sometime to get intimate after LO is asleep. (We cosleep btw!) Get all the rest you both need then initiate! My husband didn’t dare to ask because he was afraid that I wasn’t ready/too tired. I was the one who initiated and from then on, when he wants he will initiate (it’s okay to reject if too tired, they will understand.) 😊

One of the best and most relaxing answers I have read so far. Thanks for putting my mind to rest because I was taking tension even for this haha As a first time mum, adjusting to this new life is so not easy so I think I will take this at my pace and when both of us are ready and well rested :)
