This article has me cracking up cuz my libido was dead for 4 months or so after the birth of my twins. D and I eventually found our way back to fabulous f*&%king and all that fun....but it took a minute!
I know many mothers who have had this same problem. I have had friends who have went ahead and had intercourse because they thought they had to and were miserable. I used to think their partners must be really selfish but I realized it was more complicated than that.
It's like finding your way back to yourself and your partner. In the midst of the demands from the new little bundle of "joy". ;)
Like the author said at the end of the article you decide what's good for you and when....but it can be hard for a new mom not to be hard on herself....I guess it was my twins that kept me from dwelling on my dead sexuality (I was too tired to give a rats ass).
Happy Saturday Moms everywhere!
