Let’s be real: Right after you have a baby, sex is literally the last thing on your mind. Having just pushed a baby through there or had major abdominal surgery, you’re in no rush to put anything else in it. Plus, there's so much else to do.
When you have a newborn, your life is not your own
The bottom line is that no one knows if you're ready except for you
Make sure to be honest and talk to your partner, so they understand how you feel.
Everyone needs time to adjust to this new way of life. Sex is important, but it's not the be-all-end-all of a relationship. You're going to have a hard time connecting with your partner both physically and emotionally for a while — and that’s OK. That's just the nature of having a baby. Giving yourself time to heal and adjust is the most important thing you can do for yourself during the postpartum period — no excuses needed.
