I had a baby 16 months ago and my sex drive has slowly become less and less. Is there anything I can do to bring it back again? Chances are that you are experiencing something commonly referred to as PBC (Post Baby Coolness). Don’t panic it happens to many/most women and it can last from one month to two years or longer. The question of what exactly causes it has been hotly debated from the beginning of time. Some say you’re just exhausted, others that it is hormones going out of whack. Some say it is nature’s way of protecting you from running right out and getting pregnant again without giving your body a chance to recuperate properly. Sometimes the root is emotional but often it is physical and can be down to something as simple as anaemia that you might have developed when the baby was born. How do you fix it? That list is almost as long as what causes it in the first place. There is talk of a patch being invented, which should be coming out any day. Some doctors use various medications. In some countries they even prescribe Viagra for women though that hasn’t been proven to particularly work either. When I was in this situation I used a homeopathic remedy and I have to say it worked for me. Your first step should be your GP for a proper check-up to see if it is something like the anaemia. I have also listed a website below that deals with any kind of sexual performance/desire related issue. However the best port of call will be your nearest family planning clinic as they are who deal with this issue on a daily basis, believe me you are not alone here. Also be sure that you are making time for you and your partner to indulge in romance – focus on a little bit of that and the sex usually follows right alongside it.
