Creeped/Grossed/Yucked out by my own sexuality 7 weeks post-partum - how to get horny again?
I just had a baby 7 weeks ago and keep waiting to want my partner again (or sexy feelings of any kind to return) - any tips?

It’s just too soon. Your body has a lot of healing to go. Your hormones will be all over the place.
Your sex drive will come back, just got to give it time. Make sure your doctor has given you the all clear for sex, before doing anything.
Jesus hon! You gotta give it time- your hormones are adjusting like mad, your body and brain are probably both exhausted, and physically you just might not be ready yet. Birth is a huge trauma to the body and it needs time to heal.
I think for most people that first year of your baby's life is a bit hit and miss in the bedroom, but the feelings will come back, just be patient and don't feel forced or pressured and definitely get your birth control sorted before you jump back in the sack
I firmly believe this is nature's way of saying "Girl, you just had a baby. Calm tf down" 😂
Give it time, let yourself recover and adjust to your new normal.
I think it’s normal. We waited 9 weeks and it was very weird and uncomfortable 🥴 but time
heals your thoughts. Your body has been through a lot and is just thinking about the baby. Give it some more time and it will come back to you.
