Re: Postpartum conjugal relations...

[Guest guest]

Kris,

I found this post very interesting. I have heard this before, especially

during nursing. And, I am sorry to hear that you are still sleep deprived.

Is Isaac on a regular schedule yet?

As for sex having consequences, I can appreciate that now, too. Being I am

off the pill now but not ready to conceive as it has not been long enough

post-pill, we have to use birth control, which is not exactly

spontaneous....lol So, sometimes we have to be creative........lol

Now, I understand that most definitely artificial birth control goes against

your personal religious choices. Does that include natural methods like the

" rhythm " method or " withdrawal " ? Would you be able to practice these? Sorry

if this is too personal but was just trying to help.

Hugs and kisses to you and the kiddies,

I will let Deb know that this is a postpartum thing! She may be very, very

happy! We have very different sex drives...mine being higher...but hers is

pretty much non-existant....

Practice random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self control.
