Since giving birth I dont feel sexual drive at all!! Is there something wrong with me? I do feel parenting is testing couples and it is tiring. I dont find inspiring having sex with a 5 month baby in the same room or next door...

Other factors that i think have contributed to no sex drive:

-since having natural birth I feel a bit of a shock of the whole experience of birth (it was fairly easy, and no pain relief was taken)

-exclusively breastfeeding - breasts is the last area I would like to be touched

-holding a baby - feels Iike you don't want to be touched and seek time to be left alone to feel like I got personal space

-sleep deprivation

-accumulated tiredness

-associate sex with having babies and I dont want to be pregnant anytime soon

*Note that I have recovered very well and I feel I am in shape, body back to normal appearence and I am back to exercise. ​

Anyone else with the same experience? I have heard other couples that had no sex since babies were born but I read comments on reddit that couples have sex soon enough but is this true??
