You distinctly know that you used to be interested in sex. Yes, that was you, not someone else. (At least you're pretty sure…)  

And you are thinking, “so I had a baby (you fill in the blank: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 4 years) ago. Shouldn’t my desire for sex have come back? What’s happening to me?” You are not alone. Trust me.

Many women find that their desire for sex drops dramatically after the birth of a child. This may not happen after the first, or even the second child. Some find it drops after number 3 or more. Some have the problem after each of them. They are tired and stressed. They don’t have enough time to take a shower, let alone have a sexual rendezvous with their partner. We’ve been told that it is all in their heads. There is nothing physical that has changed.  The truth may be a tad more complicated than that. 

There are so many powerful psychological factors at work when you have a child. More often than not, your body goes through significant physiological changes as well.

All of these are important factors affecting how you are feeling. There are often medical treatments that can help. But while you are in your childbearing years you might not want to consider hormone therapy of any sort. So, that’s when becoming aware of the psychological factors and learning how to manage them becomes even more important. 

I’m a big fan of dealing with the medical when it’s necessary. I am also a practical realist and I know that sometimes the medical issues can’t be addressed right away. That is where some tips and trick can come in very handy for helping the situation get better without having to wait. Changing your mindset, making a specific concrete plans and understanding how to make it easier for yourself becomes really critical at this time. My book talks about this alot. So does my course: Curing the Low Libidio Bedroom.

In my next blog post I’ll give you a list of factors that can be affecting you. But whatever you do, please don’t give up on yourself. Your old, pre-kid self, is still in there somewhere. Help her get out.
