It seems to be one of those things that improve with time (and plenty of practice).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />I had a bad tear downstairs as well, and of our four attempts since bub was born, only one of them could be described as "successful" (e.g. enjoyed by both parties) before I started leaking milk and got all upset about it (sorry if TMI).<br />]]>

Sometimes getting yourself 'there' first makes it easier to get into. Now that things have changed in your relationship and you've been without sex for a while, it might be an great time to introduce something new.  <br /><br />I always find I'm way more into sex for my DH looks after my needs first and toys eliminate all the mucking about - they just straight to it.<br /><br />Sorry - I know TMI - but it may be of help.  <br /><br />Good luck.  ]]>

I was begging for it by 6 weeks but we couldn't as I hadn't finished bleeding yet <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0"> then when *that* finally finished a week later I started feeling really nervous about it, because I didn't know what it would feel like (and i didn't tear at all!) but we did do it. And haven't done it since lol. I was keen last night, but DH was a bit too eager, LOL <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"> Good to know it's normal though <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> ]]>

But now it is ok.  So as long as Dr thinks you are ok, I think just stick at it and it will come right!  Definitely not quite the same as before though as all a bit stretched etc!! Ugh!  DH and I have had it quite a bit since DS was born - although not as often as Babe!!  And I agree it gets better the more you have it and you want it more - so stick at it!!]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=19217">mummytobesep08</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 26041<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 23 April 2009 at 9:38am<br /><br />JessDub,  I agree with the "you are completely normal!!!!" especially with a first baby. (things seen to go back to normal quicker with subsequent babies)<br /><br />are you breastfeeding? Because breastfeeding has a LOT to answer for when it comes to post baby relations. You can assure DP that once BFing has stopped, things will return to normal <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0"> <br /><br />then of course there is time. The four letter word everyone wishes they had more of. Relations takes up precious sleeping time, so its often waaaaaaaaay down on the priorities list. I cannot put enough emphasis on how great afternoon snuggle time can be. You've got so much more energy than at nights!<br /><br />When you do get the time another thing could be...well...after having a baby things can certainly feel different...stretched...and not be as sensitive or responsive as before. Give yourselves time to rediscover, well i dont really know how to put it but im sure you get my drift<br /><br />hope the talk went well!<br /><br />Amelia]]>

Its also really important to make time for each other after the baby/s come along coz they tend to grab alot of our attention. Relationships need work and its good to work on being friends as well as lovers IYKWIM.<br /><br />Arrgh my boy is back and wreaking havoc... Sorry if this is abit disjointed lol forgot what alot of attention he requires!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />]]>

Definitely good point about the more you do it the more you want it.  It's an exhaustion thing too though - when you make it to bed all you want to do is sleep when you know it's not going to be long before you need to get up again.  I think in my case we need to try the time limit/ultimatum thing too, might make things interesting at least!]]>

I had a pretty bad 3rd degree tear with DS (was told may be to uncomfortable for up to a year), we started when DS was 2 months, and it was well to say the least painful, to be honest I wasn't overly interested in doing it all the time, but persevered for DF's sake, and over time it got better.<br /><br />So I guess just talk to your DP and let him know how your feeling whats going on etc. and just go from there]]>

Last time the midwife gave me an ultimatim to have sex by 6 weeks to make sure everything is working fine, or suffer a check....this time I've had 3 checks!<br /><br />BUT....we are far more intimate this time around, it just hasn't passed over to the bedroom so to speak. DH also works long hours & is as tired as I am at the end of the day.<br /><br />It will get better but you have to work at it & you almost need to do what Nikki has said..put a time limit on it.

Never had this prob myself <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0"> I think I wanted it more than DP but I'm sympathetic.<br />Do you make time to connect with each other during the day/evening? I think a big thing that made it work for us was that we totally flirt with each other. He'll squeeze my bum secretly when we're out and we'll haul each other into a dark corner and make out, I'll whisper dirty things in his ear while he having a conversation with a mate and we have alot of time for fun (board games, walks, fave tv shows, etc with or without Jake). <br />It wasn't as easy when Jake was younger because I had to get up for him abit but he was sleeping for a minimum of 8 hrs a night by 7 weeks so it helped with the tired levels. Also getting it on at random times of the day (we'll often do it as soon as he gets home from work) it doesn't havta be at night. We shoot in the bedroom late on a saturday morning while Jakes playing outside and have a quickie. Def keeps things sizzling <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0"><br />Hope it works out for you chick x]]>

It also doesn't help that you probably get very little time to yourself or to be yourself, you are always mummy! And I don't know about you but being pressured (& it doesn't have to be overt) puts me off. Have you had an honest discussion with DH about how you feel?]]>

This will prolly sound really daggy but there's still "intimacy" between us though IYKWIM?  You don't have to "do it" to keep things romantic before your wedding <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0">  My DH works really long hours and hasn't coped as well as he thought he would with interrupted sleep (I'm positive he thinks he has the rough deal despite the fact it's me who actually has to get up and do the feeding?) so he's not exactly begging me for it anyway.<br /><br />I think first's suggestion of getting someone to take over for the night so you can get some decent sleep is a good one.  Things definitely started getting back to "normal" when my MIL was here (funnily enough) as she sent us off out for dinner on our own a couple of times and offered to do late feeds and then just didn't bring the monitor in afterwards (which could have pee'd me off I spose but TBH I was just grateful for the good night's sleep).<br /><br />So, no real answers for you.  But you're not the only one <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">]]>

I know after giving birth I was well over everyone having a looky down there but it would be a starting point. <br />Could you maybe have someone look after your wee bub for the night so that you know that you are going to get a full nights sleep. <br />]]>

Mostly I'm too tired (up twice a night to BF) and really don't feel like it but also it's still quite uncomfortable (I had an internal tear).<br /><br />The lack of sex is starting to come between us - and we're getting married in November!! He's being good and not pressuring me but I can tell he's getting frustrated and does equate nooky with love - a guy thing I think.<br /><br />Not that any of you are psychic, but please tell me it will get better....]]>
