That is normal. After three months, your body isn't back to what it used to be weight wise (if it is, congrats!), you're probably really overtired, and you spend most of your time dealing with spit-up and poop. It's not a very sexy time. Make more time for yourself. Take naps when the baby naps, take a bubble bath, or just leave the baby with a sitter or Daddy, and get out of the house with your friends to allow yourself to get back to feeling like more than a mommy.

Yes, totally normal. After my first pregnancy, it took about 3-4 months for my husband and I to get back into the groove. Even then, I had to mentally force myself into it. Once we were in the act, I enjoyed myself. But honestly I would have been totally content not having any sex. I did it for my husband. He was so supportive and helpful I felt like that was the least I could do. Your body isn't what it was before the baby and you are exhausted. For me, it seems like the more sex I have, the more I want it. If I get myself into a rut, I find I don't think about it as much. Maybe you have to talk yourself into it mentally and physically things will fall into place. Tell your man what you want & need. He'll probably be thrilled to oblidge. I'm sure he's dyin' for some action. Take your time & use a good lube.

Yes. If you look at from a strictly biological point of view. You have achieved your goal. You have given birth and have a new baby. Goal accomplished. Your body is using it's resources to nourish the baby, not to get pregnant. It is an emotional roller coaster. So much of your energy now goes into taking care of the baby, it leaves little time or energy for anything else. Things will change though. Also, you did not mention your age, but that can also be a factor. Hang in there, thing will change.

Maybe. You may be suffering from post partum depression, or your hormones could just be freaking out. After having a child, we women view our bodies differently. Sex is seen as something other than just the fun it was. You may have no interest because you are constantly exhausted from taking care of the child. But you should start doing something to help. Whether it be romantic time with your spouse, or just finding ways to have alone time and relax. It will come back.

It usually takes 4 to 7 months....So it is normal, especially after the first child.
Just be reassuring to your mate and remember a lot of guys feel left out, tell him you love him and he should hold on and wait until you are fully ready!!!
