Maybe birth control. If her hormones are out of whack, that might help regulate them. Talk to her doctor about her options. It's important! Good luck.

Ok, I'm assuming this is your first child. Being a mother of 2 and pregnant with my third I have some experience in this area.
Any woman's body goes through MAJOR upheavals while pregnant and soon after. It can take just a few weeks or even up to a year for all the hormones and other emotional issues to return to normal. Depending on how long ago she gave birth this is perfectly normal and there isn't much you can do but wait it out. If this is your first child, remember, she's never been someone's mother before, and that is a HUGE change, no matter how prepaired she thought she was. Plus with hormones being out of whack for some time after giving birth, on top of lack of sleep and just feeling overwhelmed, it's hard to "want" to have sex as much as before. Trust me, with time it does get better. Otherwise I doubt anyone would have more than one child. But it takes time. Try getting a sitter for the evening if you are comfortable leaving the baby with someone. Go out to dinner somewhere nice, go see a movie, and try to have an evening to focus on the two of you and not the baby. Or maybe even something as simple as cleaning the house for her and doing the laundry would help. I know that when the kids (ages 6 years old and 17 months old) are getting to me, and I feel like I have so much to do around the house...just my husband pitching in some makes all the difference in the world as far as my mood goes. If she's stressed out, she's not going to want to have sex. If her main worries are whether you have clean socks for the next day, or if she remembered to put diapers on the grocery list or she needs to vacuume...she's not going to want to have sex. Showing her that you're there to help take some of the load off, may just do the trick. Good luck! But if it's only been a few months even 6 or so, I wouldn't resort to medications yet. If she's really concerned about it, tell her to call her OB/GYN and ask them about what else she can do.

There are infinite reasons why this has happened... But it is not uncommon... First it has nothing to do with you etc... Part of the issue is she sees herself as a mom first now... If she is still breastfeeding this is a natural side effect.... She should see her MD to make sure there is not true medical issues that need to be treated...Then with a clean bill of health work on her as a woman... By that i mean make her feel loved, appreciated and sexy to you.... Help with the baby, give her alone time to sleep or exercise or whatever she likes to do... Be physically and emotionally close to her... Don't try to jump into bed at every opportunity but hold her hand, rub her shoulders, simple affectionate gestures... Be honest with her how you feel.. Does she know how you feel? Does she know this is a problem? Don't assume she knows... Many women are so tied up in being super mom they forget being a wife.... If she realizes there is a problem talk to her... listen to her... she may knwo the solution and not realize it....

Well what can you do to increase her sex drive? You can help with the baby, feed the baby, change the diapers, give her a night off.
Hire a cleaning woman to clean the house, hire a sitter, take her out to dinner. She her you still love her and appreciate her.
She may just be down right exhausted.

First of all I would consult your Doctor and ask him or her what they would suggest! But there is vigar for women but its a different name of course!!
But did she just have the baby like a month or two ago...cuz that is common for women to lose there sex drive so give her some time like a couple a weeks but in the meantime consult your doctor!!!

Depends on why she has lost her drive. If the baby is young it could be exhaustion. Could be fatigue related to anemia, could be self image disturbance, It could also be a symptom of depression or baby blues. You need to be concerned and encourage her to see her doctor. Go together and talk about your concerns.

I think she no longer wants sex because iy hurts too much to give birth. She does not want to get pregnant because she would have to go through the pain of childbirth again.

No.
She needs to see a physician and talk about the problem.
then and only then should she seek to add a medication/herbal supplement/ to her diet.
Is she breast feeding?
how long ago did she have the child.
IT takes some women longer.
Have her see her OBGYN.
