My husband isn't attracted to me any more

That does not mean sex is off the menu. If you are feeling ready to dive into sexual and sensual pleasures with your man, then talk to him about it. Communication is step one. Next, keep on track with reclaiming your shape again. It's sometimes difficult for new mothers to feel sexy again when they are breast-feeding and after having been pregnant for what may have felt like an eternity. It can be a tricky time. You are only six weeks into the post-partum period. You need to give yourself a chance to recover, both outside and in. Take the time to let yourself heal and strengthen, including doing those pelvic floor or vaginal exercises. You also need to consult your GP about the optimal time to resume sexual activity, especially intercourse.

Feeling attractive comes from the inside, yet it's fuelled by external responses to your sexual appeal. Once your body and energies seem to be restored to a quasi-normal state and you have rested a bit from the demands of this new member of the family, then you can focus on becoming that sexy damsel again. Tell your man how you're feeling and experiment with ways that make you feel and look good. Maybe a day at a health club, a night out with the girls or just being cuddled will improve how you're feeling. Take your time.
