We left it for about 3 months as more than anything was so tired. Have sex now far less that average Britons - about 2 times a month maybe. Desire not as high as before baby for sure, but our relationship just as good.
Breastfeeding was great but must say it did make me feel unsexy in the boob area as breasts would leak slightly when aroused.”

We waited about three weeks, was very nervous as i thought it wouldn't feel the same and my husband wouldn't enjoy it. Everything was fine and my husband reassures me that it looks and feels exactly the same as before.”

Didn't want sex during pregnancy. I couldn't wait for the second trimester where most people feel horny but no that didn't happen to me. Didn't particularly feel like it afterwards either.
I like Marie, she's quite similar to me.”
