Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

October 11, 2017

Sex…What’s That?!

So, the end is near. I’m due pretty much any day now, and I’m looking forward to no longer carrying a watermelon around. I know it’s still going to be some time before I feel myself again in my body, but I’m excited about post pregnancy.

However, I just saw an article come across my path about sex post-baby — the author said you need to wait at least 6 weeks. All I can think is…sex?!?

I'm due pretty much any day now, and I'm looking forward to no longer carrying a watermelon around. I know it's still going to be some time before I feel myself again in my body, but I'm excited about post pregnancy.

Sex…What’s That?!

I’m not even anywhere near having the emotional or mental capacity to entertain having sex at this moment, let alone 6 weeks from now. It is a serious struggle to even find socially acceptable clothing to go to the grocery store, let alone feeling sexy and appealing. I can’t believe how even my maternity clothing is stretched and telling me, “no way, lady!”

And bless my husband, because I’m consistently asking him if he’s grossed out by me. He always responds with an adorable eye-roll and a “you’re beautiful.” He has had amazing patience with me in this journey, and while it can really be tense that our sex life has changed, we both know it’s all part of it.

*Disclaimer: I know pregnancy is beautiful, and I feel that, but I also feel that my body is not my own. I’m so amazed at it’s size, and how I keep growing when I think there can’t be more room to grow. So when I’m not feeling like the beautiful amazing woman that’s growing her child, I’m feeling more like an awkward version of humpty dumpty.

Suuuuper sexy….maybe, if you’re into that sort of thing.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
