Once your hormones settle your libido should return.

lol tiredness is a big part of it though - come on, half the time you don't get any time to spend on yourself, you body isn't yours any more it's the baby's - you are just a big walking talking milk machine, you have a kid in constant contact with you all day, possibly a toddler hanging off your leg too - what makes them think you're gonna want to spend time on them? by the end of the day you just want 10 minutes to yourself where nobody is touching you! lol, i mean that in the nicest possible way.

argh - with two kids it takes planning too, like a secret mission - right this one's asleep at this time, i have this and this to do tonight, and this one is asleep then, so how about we schedule it for hmmm, 9.30 lololol. takes all the fun away.

I was similar to you becca (with minimal grazing and walked out 2 hours after the birth) but although we have had realations a few times I just am really not into it at all I feel really bad for Peter because he is being so good about it but I feel like I want it less and less the more time goes on!? aaaargh, I should just bite the bullet and go for it.

Haha well it took david and I 13 weeks to have "relations" - but I also had an operation "down there" about 2 weeks after Arna was born so that didn't help matters...

My advice is just go slow and just when you are comfortable then try - if that doesn't work then wait a week or so and try again ]]> Wed, 23 Nov 2005 17:33:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1158&PID=20598&title=what-would-you-be-comfortable-with#20598 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1158&PID=20590&title=what-would-you-be-comfortable-with#20590 Author: aimeejoy

Its run by Open Polytechnic and is a 12 month free course. At the end of it you get a Certificate in Employment skills and Certificate of Vocational and Personal Development. So it's really just about goals, how to set goals for work, personal etc.
Quite good but I got the most out of it at the beginning - the last 3 months was a repeat of the first 6 (revision!)

Yep, I am the Queen of taking on too much. I work part time for OhBaby!, also have 3 other contracts for various hours/deadlines and am finishing my PostGrad Dip in Journalism (can't finish it now till Semester 2 next year coz the paper I need isn't offered in S1 which is gutting!).

But I really want to pick up my Reo again, so I am going to do 3 10 week night courses Intermediate, Advanced and Immersion to refresh my memory. And they're free which is awesome. Also will be a good way to get out of the house, because working and studying from home means I don't get a lot of contact with other people (ie. I am a loony toon!)

Kiya knows that it takes "special cuddles in bed" between a mummy and a daddy to make a baby... she believes that God and Jesus (she always says it like that) plant a seed in the mummy's tummy with the daddy's help, and that seed grows in the womb to become a baby. She knows all the technical stuff after that, like how the placenta and umbilical cord work, and how the baby comes out - she knows about vaginal and c-section births!

I don't know about telling her much more than that at this stage! I think any more details can wait 4 or 5 years or so... but I do want her to know before she hits puberty.]]> Wed, 23 Nov 2005 08:19:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1158&PID=20477&title=what-would-you-be-comfortable-with#20477 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1158&PID=20431&title=what-would-you-be-comfortable-with#20431 Author: AnnaD

hahaha we had those books
The other one in the series we had was called "What is happening to me?" and was about puberty. We thought we were soo naughty looking at those books. Quite informative though (despite an orgasm being compared to a sneeze!)

My mum was awful when she gave me the "talk". It was very technical & I had to stop her half way through to tell her that I had already lost my virginity! Whoops. She left the talk about 2 months to late.

I wrapped the lingerie last night. I've done it in such a way that when I open it, I can grab the g string before it falls out, then show everyone the dress. This way, Simon isn't going to go into giggle fits! Honestly, he's worse than a girl! I know my parents won't be embarrassed cause a few years ago, "santa's little helper" gave my mum a see-through short nightie and my dad got a novelty sequined g string!

I had the sex talk with my sister on Labour weekend, not the biological stuff - I know our mum covered that when Kathrine started getting her periods, more the emotional stuff. I know she's got a boyfriend (but Mum doesn't realise they are as serious about each other as they are) so I let her know that she could talk to me about all the conflicting emotions if she wanted to. I think she was relieved - and she did laugh when I said that thinking of your parents having sex was gross, but I have 2 kids so she knows I've done it at least twice, and sisters aren't as gross as parents! ]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2005 08:30:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1158&PID=19960&title=what-would-you-be-comfortable-with#19960 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1158&PID=19957&title=what-would-you-be-comfortable-with#19957 Author: newmum

I have a 12 year old brother and I think he'd be ok. Maybe snicker a bit and tell his friends about it later but nothing that would scar him for life!!!
(Then again, he's the only boy in a family of 6 girls) Poor kid.
I gave him the sex talk the other day. He was horrified (which I was relieved about) but I just had to be sure that he would talk to my sister or me before he even thought about getting anywhere near that stage. He put me in my place good and proper "Nikki, why would I have sex when I'm too scared to even kiss a girl???"

Okay, so this might be TMI for some of you... if I embarrass you, I appologise.

Nat has bought me some lovely lingerie (nothing revealing, it's a long robe-style dress, and g-string) for christmas, and I'm going to be opening the present in front of my parents. Now, that itself will not embarrass us. My mum helped me fold some washing last month that included a baby doll style outfit - she just passed it to me and said I could fold it better than she could. The thing is, my 14yo sister and 12yo brother will also be there. My sister will be fine, but my brother may be silly.
