How can I increase my libido after having a baby? It seems like I'm never in the mood.
Sleep depravation, endless interruptions and memory of childbirth will do that.
I have good contraception now with an IUD, so fear of pregnancy isn't slowing this down.
A lack of sleep or getting up every two hours to feed a baby will ruin anyone's mood. And
fear that the baby is going to cry as soon as you are comfortable can kill the mood.
What can I do?
Send the baby to Grandma's for a night. Then you can have a guilt-free evening with your
hubby.
What do I tell her is the reason why?
Tell her you need a good night's sleep to regain your sanity. Tell her you're ensuring
she gets quality time with the grandbaby.
It will remind her of why she's glad she only visits grandchildren instead of raising more
kids of her own. I feel twisted out of shape over this, because I want him to be happy.
He's probably thrilled with your larger ***.
I'm not thrilled about my flabby stomach or bigger butt.
He's probably not had much sex. He isn't going to care about how you look, only how you feel.
I feel bad, because I look bad.
If you turn the lights down low, none of that will matter.
If I turn them off, he won't see a thing.
Then you risk him tripping over something and getting hurt.
I heard that if Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.
You need to rebuild your relationship with Papa if you're going to have a happy family.
Making him sit by frustrated does nothing to make the two of you come closer.
And there's a baby between us.
The baby may be between you in a family photo, but he needs to be just as important to you
as the baby or you're not going to stay together.
