before baby- we were doing it everyday as much as we could lol (other then while he was at work)
Baby 1- I was super horney pregnant then after it took 12 weeks after having him I had a c section and had an allergic reaction to the staples so I was in just to much pain.
Baby 2- It wasn't until I stopped breast feeding (11 months) that I started really wanting sex again but finding time to have sex thats the tricky part

We do it just as much as we used to before both kids.

Decreased! I just can't seem to get in the mood. I enjoy it once we get going but I never seem to WANT it. I'm hoping it gets better with time. My son is four months old.

Decreased. I've had two children, and I'm still breastfeeding the second. I love my husband, but it's hard to get interested. To make things worse, he works nights, so even when I am up for it, it's really hard to find time. We're hoping things get back to normal soon.

It gets better. Be patient with yourself and your partner. Sex is better when everyone is well rested. For me that took a few years after the last baby. I think he was 3 or 4 before he consistently slept through the night.
