It's a privilege to feel this way

It was not always apparent to me when we first got pregnant how much it would mess with my libido. I adore my husband, and I cannot lie, I was devastated when I was either too nauseous or felt too unsexy to enjoy his company. When my son arrived, and I was in the 6-week postpartum period, I finally felt like myself again, and in the heat of the moment, we didn’t use a condom. Whilst we kept the risk low, we couldn’t risk having another baby so soon. It was a joint decision between the 2 of us, and the next day I walked with my baby and picked it up from the pharmacy. One consultation and a glass of water later and I’m relieved that the stress of 2 under 2 is something I won’t have to go through. It’s a privilege to feel this way.
