Question about sensation

[themasters72]

My wife had our son about 3 months ago. I left her alone for a good 6 weeks. But even since then, nothing. I have confronted her about the problem and asked her what is going on. She says she has no interest in sex because she has no feeling down there. No stimulation at all even from herself. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for us?

Well congrats on the little one. I'm gonna guess it's prolly a combo of being tired and adjusting to a new life along with having a kid... i've never had a kid so someone who has can prolly be more help.


good luck and congrats

From those I know who have had kids it can take LONG time for them to want sex again, the libido can just go after birth. It's not unheard of for a women to be off sex for over a year. Just take a few baths in ice. Patience and understanding is what is needed.

I agree with the other posters, but would also ask: Has she talked to her doctor about this lack of any sensation? There could be a plethora of physical reasons related to pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum issues, so this probably warrants a good checkup just to be on the safe side. If her doctor doesn't know, she may want to ask for a referral to a specialist who can test blood flow and sensation.

I agree. She needs to check with her doctor, even if she just saw him/her for the postpartum checkup.

Did she have a vaginal delivery or a C-section, BTW?

Responses...

The delivery was vaginal and quite quick. She was in total labor for only 6 hours. And when she was totally dialated, the pushing lasted only 20 minutes. No, she hasn't been to her doctor for any of this. I do understand the post-pardum aspect of it, but just sort of befuddled by the lack of sensation part. Thanks for your comments guys.

Is she suffering at all from post-partum depression?

I ask this because depression has a HUGE effect on sex drive AND sensation.

So, I'll have to agree with previous posters and say that a visit to the doctor is in order.
