Yes, for many reasons. Change in hormones, fatigue, anemia, post-partum depression. She needs a lot of extra care and understanding, not to mention help with things around the house, including the baby!!!!

It is absolutely a reasonable possibility. And the reasons are endless.
She is most likely EXHAUSTED. As well, the hormonal fluctuation is probably killing any sex drive she might have had; she could be afraid of risking a close-together 2nd pregnancy. Or she could still be sore from birth. Is she breast feeding? This can kill the libido. Post-partum depression ("baby blues") can do it. Lack of positive personal body image is a big (no pun intended) problem with a lot of post-partum women.
Any or all of these can play key roles. If the problem exists for more than six months however, she should probably see a doctor.

Oh yes!! Pregnancy is a hard process the body goes through and after the baby is born. Hormones are out of whack, we are sleep deprived and trying to take care of a baby and our own selves and other children. There is every chance a woman will regain her sex drive within a couple of months. Most times the lack of sex drive is purely temporary.

Yes they can for several reasons. First pregnancy and childbirth wreak hormonal havok on a woman's body. Then taking care of a newborn baby is exhausting in itself until you get your routine established and for some babies that can take quite a while. So even if you are "in the mood" you are too tired to do anything. It's a big change physically, mentally and emotionally.

Absolutely! Not only has her body just been through the wringer and her hormones are out-of-whack, but she now has this new baby. A new baby takes a lot of energy and adjustment.
Give her a month or so for her body to heal and for her to get acclammated with the baby. . .and while you're being patient. . .pamper her. Bring her things she needs, give her a massage. . .show her you care and understand and you will be rewarded!

ofcourse.because of hormonal changes plus taking care of newborn baby along with other responsibilities can certainly take over sex drive.

yes--its probably not that she doesnt have the desire--its just that she is so freaking busy, therefore she is tired....
and some women it increases.
