Key to a stronger relationship: Keep having sex

On top of the broken nights and multitude of new skills being learnt caring for a new baby, suddenly finding that you’re looking after the house can easily put a woman off sex, too. To handle this the best approach would be to appoint some tasks to your partner, so they know their role in upkeep of the house, would help share the load.

“Don’t try to be superwoman by doing the entire housework and caring for the baby,” Aduboffour said.

There are a various reasons that don’t let women feel sexy after birth.

“You may be worried that sex will be painful rather than pleasurable, especially if you’ve had a tear or stitches - some women report perineal pain lasts six months or more,” Aduboffour said.

“Some women have poor body image after birth, don’t feel sexually attractive and may lose interest in sex,” Aduboffour said.

To combat this the best way is to talk to your doctor, who will look at whether a decreased sex drive might be caused by depression or low hormones - then talk to your partner and let him know that you don’t blame him and set up a united front.

Also take some time to nurture yourself and take some time to revisit your old self will also help you feel sexy again.

While it’s important to spend time with your partner, it’s also important to give each other space.

So, while having kids means being together more than ever before, spending time apart helps you see each other as individuals, keeping the sexual fires burning. Hence, get out more and make time for coffee dates with your friends or go to the movies.

When you become a parent, one of the biggest passion killers is routine. While it’s great for a baby, who thrives on regular naps and mealtimes, it can mean monotony for a partnership. So, Rejig your work/childcare schedules by going on a date without your children, having a monthly cinema hook up, or a regular ‘date night’ at home.
