Our LO is now 7 months old and doing great. However, I still can't seem to find any intimacy with my hubby. He's very sweet and tries very hard to get me interested (at least he never gives up 
) but usually it winds up just depressing me and my body seems to be hypersensitive. The doctor says there's nothing wrong with me, but it still stings "down there" right at the entrance. If we wait for it to subside and try again, it burns like crazy and feels like he's pushing an air bubble in me even though he isn't, or like he's hitting something that's bruised no matter the angle.
Anyway, no matter what we try, everything seems to be an instant turn-off. This has only been in the last 4 months or so, so i didn't think it'd be PPD.
I'm really worried, I don't have any health insurance any more because times are tough, but I hate to see him so frustrated. It just depresses me more. We even tried a date night, but it didn't help.
Has anybody else gone through this or have any suggestions? Anything would be appreciated! Thank you!
PS..I am bottle feeding and have been for most of our LO's months in the world
The birth was natural, although with an epidural. Everything went very smoothly, no tears or anything. I dropped down to my original weight in about 2 weeks. We've tried lots of lube, and neither of us is interested in porn or finding it from anybody else.
I know stress can be a big contributor since i'm the only one working. I work from 11-8:30, so i don't get to spend a lot of time relaxing. But stress shouldn't cause pain or burning.
