I wanted to know if other people have had difficulties getting back into the "mood" after having a baby...
Has your sex life increased or decreased after baby?

My sex life decreased, more so do to lack of sleep and energy, and the fact that my daughter sleeps in the same room as us in her cradle. It seems weird to get down and dirty with a little one right there.

Right after having my first I don't think sex even entered my mind for several weeks. After the second being born only a year apart there was no time or energy left for sex. After my third things settled out and now I'm having the best sex ever.

This goes back a long way - my kids are in college - but yes the sex was pretty slow for a while. They are just 15 months apart so the relative drought lasted about 3 years. It's not that we didn't have sex - it was just way less common than before or since.

I feel that the sex hasn't really changed since I had my baby. He's only two months old, and we still find time to enjoy ourselves.

My sex life decreased dramatically. I think it mostly has to do with my relationship completely and utterly falling apart after my daughter was born though, that and of course how painful sex was to me for some reason after that. I couldn't get myself in the mood again until my daughter was around 8 months old... Not that it would have mattered much seeing as he left when Erilyn was only two months old.

Decreased. It's hard when you have kids who refuse to sleep..

I'm currently pregnant with my third child, my husband's first. We have an incredible sex life, and I honestly don't see it changing once our baby is born! Before, because I was with someone I didn't care about very much, we didn't have much sex so it stayed the same after we had kids, but I truly think that it will be different this time around!

I still want it just as often. It just is a little harder to get it
11/28/2010
I want it...I crave it! I just can't manage around the 3 month old who wants to stay awake all night! lol

After my first son, our sex life plummeted, but oddly enough, after our second son was born, we couldn't keep our hands off each other and that just increases the older the kids gets.

We're expecting baby #3. My oldest will be not quite 3 when the baby is born. I would say that the frequency of sex has decreased but the quality has increased. It's all about give and take. However much you put into it is how much you'll get out.

You forgot to include "Less Sex" so I voted no change. The first year we only had sex 3 times. Now we're back to once a month.

I think my sexual plasures went down hill after my son, I think its because my muscles down there kinda suck right now time for kegel balls!!

we've got two both under two years old, at first it does decrease. when you've got two little ones you don't sleep much. After about a month or two when you get into the swing of both kids schedules things pick up again. We find it kind of like being teenagers again, sneaking in alone time while the kids are sleeping is kind of like groping while the parents are out of the room. The trick is to set aside at least one night a week where after you put the kids to bed you spend some time just being together, even if you don't get freaky. Watch a movie, feed each other candy. Do some of the stuff you did when you were dating before kids.

baby is 1 month old and have not tried yet. a little scared to do so. 10 yr anniversary is next week too.

It hasn't really increased, but it's sure gotten a hell of a lot better.

I've never had a baby, but I can't imagine it diminishing much more!

Does it hurt to have sex after a c-section?
03/07/2011
my step-mom has had 2 c-sections, she just says to avoid positions that stretch those muscles in the front for a while. So sticking with missionary or using soft positioning pillows to not put pressure on the incision.

Fatigue, Stress, Responsibility...there were a thousand reasons why for a few years after we had our first child, sex slacked WAY, WAY off. With her in college now, we are back to our pre-baby sex lives, but it naturally takes while. Real life has a way of intruding on young romance. Oh..as an aside, I never, ever felt sexier or had better sex, then when I was pregnant!!! Oh those hormones.
