Hey Love,
We need to chat. I know our passionate nights while trying to conceive set a certain expectation for our intimacy, but things have changed quite a bit. Just a few months ago, I was in a different place, feeling great and confident in my body. Now, though, my libido has taken a nosedive. You may still find me attractive, but honestly, I’m struggling to feel that same spark. Here’s why:
1. Back to Awkwardness
It’s like I’ve reverted to my awkward teenage years. Breakouts have invaded not just my face but also my chest. The teenage me would have freaked out at the thought of anyone getting too close during that time. It’s hard to feel sexy when I’m battling what I like to call “boobne.”
2. Super Sniffer Mode
My sense of smell is heightened to an extreme. Remember those onion rings you had last week? I can still detect them on your breath. You might have brushed your teeth, but I swear I could sniff out a hidden onion ring from a mile away. It makes any romantic moment a bit challenging.
3. Digestive Dilemmas
My body is acting in ways that are less than pleasant. One moment I’m completely blocked up, and the next, it’s like an explosion. The thought of you getting close during these unpredictable times? Hard pass.
4. Limited Mobility
I feel so clumsy right now. My belly is growing, and honestly, it’s hard to move around comfortably. Those intricate positions we once enjoyed? They’re not happening anymore. So, you might want to shelve that Kama Sutra for a while.
5. An Unwanted Audience
The doctor might say that our little one is unaware of what’s happening, but let’s be real: would you consider being intimate with one of our kids in the room? That’s just not happening. It’s a little too strange to think about – our baby’s got to ride out the waves, and that thought alone is just too weird.
My dear, I promise that this phase won’t last forever; my sex drive will return. Just look at the close age gaps between our little ones! I know we’ll get back to our pre-pregnancy rhythm in no time.
