Hi there, during my pregnancy in 2004, it was so traumatic that it pains me to look back and remember most parts of it. And the boys birth was worse than that, so you can imagine. Without getting into specifics, the pregnancy and birth of my twin boys totally destroyed my body as well as some parts of my mind. I suffered from Post Partum Depression terribly after they were born. It felt like it started immediately, I felt soooooooooooooooooooo overwhelmed that I just wanted to escape from the hospital and run home and leave the boys there for someone else to take home......

Long story short, ever since the boys were born my sex drive has been null and void, but at the same time I can think of nothing else. I find myself daydreaming of having wonderful, wild, healthy sex with my husband the way we used to before the boys but when it comes to actually doing it, I want nothing to do with sex. I don't think it has anything to do with the boys but then again, I really don't know. I am so confused about this issue. I have been living with this for over 3 years now and I am getting very frustrated. Is this normal, has anyone else dealt with issues similar to this? Please advise.

Thanks a bunch.

Jeanne
XOXO

P.S. I do know one thing, I am terrified of getting pregnant again. I have a GYN appt tomorrow and we ARE going to discuss permenant birth control. I need piece of mind for my personal sanity.

" Understandable. My pregnancy for the twins was horrible. Unfortunately, I did get pregnant again. But, it was a blessing because I now have my little girl. I did get my tubes tied after her birth.

In terms of sex, are you wiped out at the end of the day? I find that for me, if it's too late in the evening I don't enjoy it because I'm beat. I prefer about 9:30 ish because by then I'm relaxed but I'm not sleeping. It's hard to get your groove back and it's actually something that you may have to work at. If you're afraid of getting pregnant of course you won't enjoy sex. After your appointment, sit down and talk with your husband about how you feel. Believe it or not, he may not be able to read your mind. I know I always forget that just because I think something doesn't mean he'll feel it and change. "
