Childbirth is an amazing journey for a woman who wishes to be a mother. Therefore, this journey is accompanied not only by great joy but also by a shock for the whole organism, including her intimate sphere. A certain percentage of moms are faced with the fact that they experience a decrease in libido.

They begin to avoid intimacy with their partner. In addition, their perception of sexual contact is disgusting.

Reasons for the issue

The lack of libido after childbirth has its own reasons, among which the most common are:

•  fatigue caused by childbirth,

•  childcare;

•  complexes about their figure;

•  obsession with the problems of the baby;

•  postpartum depression;

•  hormonal changes.

Attention should be paid to these features of the female body.

It’s designed in such a way that immediately after childbirth, there is no sexual desire.
