The period after child birth can be an emotional rollercoaster. The arrival of your baby is met with great anticipation. The overwhelming demands on being a new parent can have a huge impact on intimacy. It may keep parents wondering if things will ever get to normal. However there are ways to help resolve this issue.

How to increase sex drive after child birth.

Restore your self esteem : Most new moms don’t feel pretty or sexy enough.  Buy some new clothing, get some sexy lingerie, get a spa day or go to the gym. Do things that makes you feel good about yourself.

Deal with fatigue :  You can take  a nap during the day or ask your partner to help you deal with night time feedings. This will help you get enough rest.  Sex will be the last thing on your mind when you are tired and sleep deprived .

Be honest : Let your partner know about your lack of sex drive. He may also be having similar emotional feelings. Reassure your spouse that you find him attractive and that  you are working on your sex drive. This will ease the pressure on both of you.

Use a lubricant : Hormonal changes after pregnancy can cause discomfort during sex. Using  a lubricant can ease the discomfort and make sex enjoyable.

Get in the mood :  You can prepare for sex by taking a warm bath, a glass of wine or anything to help you stay relaxed and get you in the mood. This step is important to help you transition into the lover or wife mood after a hard day’s work.

Talk to your doctor : Talking to your doctor about your low libido will help him rule out physical problems. He will also reassure you that low libido after childbirth is common.
