Is losing your sex drive after having a baby normal? How can I get it back?

hey. i dont think that it isnt normal.
i had to wait 6 weeks to even have sex after i had my son, because of stitches and bleeding. i dont think i got horny one day out of that 6 weeks.! i was so scared to even have sex when i could. just didnt feel the same since i just had my baby come out there.my sex drive was very low during the 3rd trimester also, and i think it was because of the extra blood that goes down to your vagina. i guess it makes it harder to have an orgasm, also, it makes it not as sensitive.. but now 2 years later, its been perfectly fine. we have sex like 4 or 5 times a week, and have been since the baby was born, and i could. i think it just takes a while to get back into the swing of things. your hormornes are raging right before the baby and then they completly stop when you have the baby. that probably doesnt help either.

well yes it happened to me, apparantly it can take a yr to get it back, low eostrogen after giving birth i think is the cause, glad to see its not just me, lots of alchol and ky jel, honestly i dont know, i am lucky i have a partner who wakes early for work so i can get away with alot, all the best
