Its completely normal pregnancy completely messes up the hormones so can lower your sex drive and cause depression which can make you just want to be alone. And most women feel less confident exposing their bodies after just having a baby your just like any other new mum. Explain to your partner how you feel so he can understand and you can work through it together, he will most likely appreciate knowing what you are going through and why you are acting this way rather than being kept on the outside of the problem.
And if you are really feeling depressed go to your doctor to see what treatments are available. Although just talking about it and understanding that its completely normal might help you as it seems to one of the major issues you keeping it inside and worrying how your partners reacting and if your normal. heres some websites with info of depression during and after pregnancy. Good luck hunny hope this helps and you feel better soon.

Post Partum, see your OBGYN and get on some medication before it manifests into something else. Plus have a heart to heart with your spouse and tell him...what you are going through and at the moment you don't have the confidence or the desire. Assure him that it is not him (men tend to get defensive) however that you are counting on his understanding to get through this. On the other hand he must truly love you unconditionally that he desires to be intimate with you. Please see a doctor, don't ruin what sounds like a good thing. God Bless!

Your hormones are still screwed up from having the baby. See a doc - they can help!
