When I read your post I was wondering how the hell I never knew you before and wishing we lived next door so we could wade through children together. Now I shall simply have to stalk your blog and chat with you on twitter. So glad we found each other! And yes, demented is a much better word.

LADY, this was a BRILLIANT post. And stop calling those women who rush home to have sex and exercise ‘amazing.’ They’re demented. I mean it.

How are we not blog best friends – we both have 3 kids under 3. Forget what I said above, we’re the demented ones.

Rachel I am just so glad I am not alone. As you can see in the comments the overwhelming majority did not just jump back in the sack!

I’m in your group!

After 2 kids, my mind and body simply lost the interest of getting a good workout with my dear husband. It has taken a back seat for quite sometime now and hmmm… no idea of when I’ll spring out of this.

I am totally with you on this. 6 weeks was never long enough for me. Apologies to my hubby. .-= TooManyHats´s last blog ..Monday Menu Mania =-.

I remember being raring to go after Fuss was born around 4 weeks, but then ended up with some scarring issues and couldn’t do the deed until closer 12 weeks and it was months before it was truly comfortable. I’m a little more nervous about it this time around, now that I’ve been burned once, you know? There will need to be some good quantities of alcohol consumed. But there are other ways of making my DH feel good, so I remember doing that occasionally (in return for a back rub or foot rub – that was all I wanted!) postpartum and there will be some more of that this time, most likely.

Give it time. All of it. You are working so hard nursing that baby (mine nursed every 90 minutes too) and with TWO OTHERS under THREE!

Maybe you can find ways of bonding with your hubby that don’t involve, well, penetration for a while.

REALLY Hang in there, you will get through this but you need to give yourself a break. And time.

After my first baby, I bought Abs of Steel and worked out like crazy. I was determined that pregnancy was NOT going to change me. ha ha, jokes on me. I was pregnant the whole time with baby #2 and wasted all my effort trying to tone my belly (they are 13 months apart.) I learned my lesson. No exercise for me until menopause. .-= Milehimama´s last blog ..7 Quick Takes vol. 9 =-.

I remember this so well. I love my husband and so i made an effort for him, but it was really tough. Honestly, I still don’t feel that sexy — after four babies my body will never be the same. Every time I catch a glimpse of my saggy muffin-top belly, I want to cover myself up in a nun’s habit.
