Resumption of the sex life post-birth

Why is it that when you have a baby the first thing they ask about in hospital is whether you've thought about contraception? Even at the six week review the doctor was at it. So after 24 hours of induced labour, a cut & shut, and 6 sleepless weeks do they honestly think there's any bedroom action going on?

Paging the men in white coats...

It is not uncommon for a woman to have an increased sex drive whilst pregnant, the hormones play havoc. Plus a pregnant woman can look extremely sexy, not to mention the lack of risk factor - the deed's already done, this is for pure fun.

Some women, that is. Some can go the other way. Let's just say I got plenty of rest, right from conception all the way through to after the birth. MOTS took some stick for this, mainly along the lines of "I'm still waiting for my Christmas luckies", given Junior was conceived early December.

At about 6 weeks (since birth) I was thrown a paper bag with a "present" in it. One box of 5 Durex Avanti condoms. I'm sure she was taking the piss. A couple of weeks later the time came to be gentle, to make sure the scar was OK to take something a bit more physical than lifting a kettle. So after a little struggle to open the security plastic wrapping from the outside of the box (it has been a while) I broke into the pack. As I pulled the strip of 5 condoms out, the anticipation was building, the first appeared, a diagonal label on it - "Christmas". Eh, what's going on, some promotional pack? The second also had one on, "New Year", followed by "Birthday", "Anniversary" and one blank one. What, how, eh?

Joker's droop!
MOTS was taking the piss. She had carefully cut the outer plastic wrapper around the bottom of the box, opened it up, labelled the condoms, closed the box up, and carefully sellotaped the wrapper back to the box. Very neatly done, and in a spot where the plastic was already overlapped so as not to attract attention.

I almost laughed myself limp!
