i bet this is really common. Give yourself some time! your man wants some - but you've got night time feedings, crying, extra weight, and a million other things going on. he's got to be patient! ↑

sometimes it helps to get out of the house. if he wnats it so bad - he can wine and dine you a bit. get out and have a relaxing night away from the stress of the house and the new babe - maybe it'll loosen you up a bit. if not - at least you had a good meal out of it : ) ↑

it's pretty normal. but, guys go through a lot too and often end up being jealous of their baby. maybe you can help him out some other way ;) ↑

No, that's normal. It's the nursing hormones. I don't think there's anything u can do about it. ↑

It's hard to get in the mood after a baby. Try drinking a glass of wine, but don't get drunk--u may end up with another bun in the oven :-0 ↑

I don't think there's something wrong. U had a baby, mebbe you're scared it'll hurt? ↑

I think it's a normal, hormonal thing, but there's stuff u could do to make things better, and u shold, because your DH is going to feel bad if you don't get intimate with him soon. Things to try:
A nice dinner
a sexy DVD
some wine
a new nightgown from Victoria's Secret
a candellight bath--maybe witrh him in it with you. ↑

It can be really hard. If your DH is understanding, tell him u need more time. If not, try to be there for him the best u can. ↑
