It's a good idea to talk to your doctor, you family practicioner or interologist can recommend someone if they aren't comfortable dealing with the question but do keep in mind that you've just had a baby and that takes some time to adjust to. By all means talk to a doctor, better to be safe than sorry, but you're probably normal. Talking to a doctor will also show your husband that you are taking the loss of your sex drive seriously. Men tend to get as, if not more, upset when they think that we don't care about a reduced sex drive as they do about the loss of sex.

some of it is just the hormonal inbalance that could still be going on..let's face it you are very busy and you have a lot more "practical" things on your mind that sex...youo lay in bed and think oh I have to do this and make sure I do that..I really need to get this done...talk with your husband....does it seem two sided...is he having low sex drive at the moment too? talk to your regular doctor about it....they will rule out any thing physical but most likely it is just emotional...send your daughter away for the night or weekend..take some husband and wife time..that is very important and can can lost in the way of having little ones in the house(trust me I talk from experience) so dont mega stress yourself about it b/c that is just gonna psych you out more..also think are you on any new meds? Sometimes thoes can affect your sex drive some antidepressenst will do it....good luck to you I have been where you are..and I just talked to my husband and told him how I was feeling..I did stress that I still did love him very much but this is what was emotionally going on inside of my head..he was so very caring and understanding.....this will pass you....you are not abnormal this happens to a lot of women!!!

I wouldn't talk to a doctor particularly. Are you in good communication with your husband? Is there something hidden? Are you upset with him? Are you attracted to him still? He attracted to you?
I would have a very open conversation with him. You may feel, after a bit, that the spice sparks right up again!
Oh, ship your baby to your mom's house for a night!
Good luck.

Have your family doctor order a hormone and testosterone level check, it is just a simple blood test, and low levels could be to blame for you decreased sex drive.
