cant orgasm after baby!

UGH! i am so frustrated. my husband and i got the ok to have sex again, but i cant orgasm! i get close and then the feeling goes away. i used to orgasm with no problem. is this common?? maybe it will come back with time, but i have this fear that i wont be able to orgasm ever again! someone tell me theyve had the same problem!

Re: cant orgasm after baby!

  • While this did not happen to me, I can say that I've heard it is fairly common and the feeling will return with time.  Because so much has gone on down there and changed, expect that sex will be different for awhile and you might have to experiment a little to find something that works for you.  Good luck, and don't worry too much, if you just got the ok you're only 6-8 weeks in right?  You will get back to normal.
  • Also, maybe just start off having him massage or give you oral to the point of orgasm. Just curious but how did it feel the first time you had sex after baby? Pain? Normal?
  • Yep, I had the same problem. I am exceedingly happy to report that everything is completely back to normal.
  • Yes, it is common.  Give it some time.  You just back into having sex again after the birth of your baby!
  • i've been having the same problem but it's getting a lot better. i realized that a big part of it was me focussing on taking care of my son to the point where i couldn't stay in the mood/nothing could distract me long enough. The other part was that i needed to re-explore myself because now things are different. what used to work doesn't so now i'm finding out what does. it just takes time, patience and excitement about it really helps though!
