It's not that I'm not turned on or deppressed. I feel good and energetic. I just cant get there like I used to. When will this come back? It's like a switch has been turned off down there.

You may be having a harder time relaxing than before, and yet not recognize it as such. This would be very normal for a new mother. You wouldn't have to be depressed, and you could still be turned on.
If it were me, I would proactively do things to increase my relaxation. Maybe some yoga, if you know how to do it, or are good at following instructions off a dvd. A massage, if you can afford it, would be absolutely perfect. If you can't, then have your husband give you one, using some sort of oil (even baby oil is fine) as a POSSIBLE prelude to sex (notice I said POSSIBLE... that's important... he shouldn't pressure you), or maybe just to relax you at another time. For me, I would be seeing my chiropractor regularly, and I know it would then be no problem.
Good luck!

You are a new mother. Your hormones take about a year to get back to where they were. You also just might be tense about escaping into sexual activity and missing hearing the baby. All this is normal.
Get a baby monitor. Have your husband use lots of foreplay. Relax. Your libido will return to normal.
In rare cases, an episeotomy may damage nerves and inhibit sensitivity. Check with your ob/gyn. Most likely you are just getting used to being a new mom.

It may be several different factors...hormones, fatigue, new baby in the house, etc. If it were me I would discuss it with my doctor and get a professional opinion. Six months is really not a long time. I bet you are good as new real soon.

when i had my baby i felt the same way.its probably because you feel that you cant have sex because you wont fullfill your motherly duties.
Best of luck=]
