I guess most moms go through this after birth because priority then for moms is their kids than their husband.

  Diggin the motherhood gig

ya may laugh, but I was so happy to have my body back (well to a point) that I did not even make it to my 6 week "ok" to jump on my hubby. May have been some hormonal thing. However, NOW I am just to dang tired. Leave me alone! Stinky diapers are NOT an aphrodisiac (did I spell that right?)

i don't even have kids and i go through the "don't touch me syndrome". i think it's normal - sometimes you just don't want to be touched. gotta be the hormones ;)

  Will the next one be ginger too??

I didn't feel like my husband wasn't appealing, but I was definitely not in the mood for a few weeks. I think the Dr. telling us we couldn't do it for 8 weeks was a bit of an aphrodesiac actually. But for about 6 months after our son was born I was so scared that the lovin' would lead to more babies (which we certainly didn't want with a 6 month old son) so I was a wee bit on the tentative side.

  Spend every day loving your family!

Funny you say that, because just last night during a 2:00 a.m.(sleep deprived) breast feeding session, my boyfriend couldn't cuddle enough! I just wanted to shout "GET OFF ME!" I think one little creature on me is enough, I dont need two of you. But now that I am finally reaching that 6 week go ahead mark, I might regret saying get off but rather get on!!! F.Y.I. creature is meant in the most loving form. -new mommy

I went through this and am currently (to my hubbies disappointment) still dealing with these feelings. I was surprised to find our how common it was for us new moms to feel this way. I guess it can be a great excuse too I mean who has time for lovin' when you are dealing with a newborn :-)
