Pregnancy Info HOME

Is sex still painful for you or is it just a libido problem? If it is a libido problem then hormones could have a huge role. If you are breastfeeding it can cause you to not feel in the mood and be dry down there and the thought of someone other than baby touching your breast can be a real turn off too. Then there is the fear you might accidentally get pregnant again. All of this is a normal part of the postpartum process, but if it is severe and to a point it is interfering with your relationship then maybe it could be a bit of postpartum depression too. Talking to your Dr. coould help you figure it out. If it is still painful and thats why sex isn't on your mind or fear it will hurt then that is also normal to some degree. After my first I was really sore for atleast 2 months and then sex just hurt. He was about a year old when it finally felt right again. It took me about 3 months after my other 2 kids to feel ok again.
