Yes this has happened to me after the birth of both my children. Your body has just been through a wonderful but traumatic time. Having a baby changes so much about your life. Your hormones are off still, your exhausted. Be patient, it will get better. It took almost 6months before my libido came back after the birth of my daughter. Hopefully your husband is understanding and will not pressure you. Congrats on your new baby!

I have a 2.5 year old and just had another baby 6.5 months ago. I am JUST NOW getting my hormones back! The thought of actually getting intimate just wasn't on my list of priorities for the past 2.5 years! Its normal!
I "gave in" about 2-3 times a month but I just had to tell my husband, "I just had a baby and I know my hormones are all screwed up, but you are just going to have to wait until I am ready. Do you really want to have sex with me if I'm not really into it?". He understood. In the meantime, you may (sad but true) have to "relieve" him manually. I think they get uncomfortable after awhile.
Good Luck!

Maybe I am just different in that regard....I had my son 4 weeks ago. In the first week I wanted sex. But I tore and am still bleeding. So we do other things. My son is an amazing little sleeper and I am not up until 5:30am and I will nurse him in bed. I guess that I am not exhausted like other new mom's. And I very much miss being intimate with my husband. Sometimes I just want to screw the healing period and jump his bones.

Oh god, that was a horrible time! I didn't start getting my horny back until about 6 months. And even then its only about 2 out of 4 weeks a month. Its gets better, just takes time. Your body, your hormones, your mind have just taken on the biggest task they will ever endure.

Last month of my pregnancy i was sooo horny. Even with the huge belly i felt sexier than i ever had. Seems i must have been lucky after the birth because i kept my horn and still have it. lil one is 4 1/2months now. But the majority of my friends lost their sex drive for at least 6 months. It should get easier.

Yes - and it should get better. It's only been two months - chances are you're still up a million times a night, and that exhaustion turns you off to everything, hubby included. Give it time. :)

Absolutely normal, especially if you are breastfeeding. It is nature's way of making sure that Mum concentrates on the baby. Also, for your own sanity I think you need time to have your body to yourself!

It's been 11 months, and it's just starting to come back for me.
I was really starting to get worried. What a relief to read that it's not just me.

I was that way for awhile after, 2-3 months. I still get that way sometimes. It's just hormones.
