Since I had my baby 8 weeks ago I have ZERO sex drive..I feel SO bad for my boyfriend. We are drifting apart & we NEED that physical connection..I can force myself but sometimes I just hate it so much I want to cry. Is there any medicines, or products I can take to help this??

" Let's see you just had a baby 8 wks ago and your boyfriend expects you to put out like nothing happened? Sorry, but he is being a jerk. I remember an article about when you can have sex after the baby is born and it jokingly said "a gentleman waits until the episiotomy is stiched up". lol. But to be honest, your hormones are all out of wack, your body is trying to recover and you are probably not getting much sleep. Your boyfriend needs to be more concerned with you right now, maybe some backrubs, maybe he can get up at 2AM for a change, or cook dinner or bring you a rose just because. Your sex drive will come back, but right now, you need a break. "

" Between your hormones being all messed up right now, and being exhausted from a newborn, you aren't going to just jump right back in to having sex the way it was before. If it doesn't come back in the next couple months, (you'll be a little less tired by then) talk to your doc if you can and see if there is something you can do. "

" I had the same problem. Patience and counseling is what worked for us. I had zero sex drive for 6 month post-partum. No masturbation, nothing! "

" I had my babies just 16 months apart, & now they are 2 & 3 yrs old & my sex drive is still non-existent. I agree with the other ladies, 8 weeks is normal, your body has been through something major & needs to recover. After the birth of my 3 year old I was ready for sex after only a couple of weeks, but with my youngest who was is now 2 and a half, well I still am not the same.
What I would say to you is, just try & be honest with your boyfriend about how you are feeling, but try & make sure you get some "me-time" where you can get your hair/nails done, go shopping, get a new outfit, whatever. Souns silly, but it does wonders to remind you that you are not just a mum but an individual as well.
If all else fails, get drunk, works for me lol x "
