This artcile pretty much mirrors my post-baby sex life, except mine was complicated further by having had a csection which resulted in abdominal pain for months AND having had to have cerclage (an operation where they sew your cervix shut to prevent premature labor, which meant no sex the last 7 months of my pregnancy). The pain, the frustration, the exhaustion were all something that I was NOT prepared for and took months to get better.
"Certainly there are medicines to bring down prolactin and increase libido again."
This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've read on here. Less prolaction equals less ability to breastfeed which equals MORE exhaustion. When breastfeeding, you get more sleep - you can latch the baby to the breast and doze back off, unlike bottlefeeding where you have to be awake and upright to feed the baby. Why on earth would someone trade *that* ability - during the months when you're basically a walking zombie - for sex?
