4. Just do it – Once a baby comes into the picture, the common reaction for couples is to begin scheduling everything, including sex. This can make sex less exciting for both the man and the woman. Try having spontaneous sex.

5. Stop comparing your body – The truth is that when you have your baby, your body changes. Even when you lose weight, it is hard to go back to your pre-pregnancy body. To get your sexy back, you need to accept the body that you have now.

6. Buy new undies – Yes, you will be surprised at how much change a few pairs of new under wear can bring in your sex life. This is how it works, a new pair of sexy under wear will make you feel sexy. It is also a good way of sending messages to your partner that you are interested.

7. Don’t stress – The more you stress over your sex life, the harder it is likely to get. It may not be as good as it was before but it is okay to cut yourself some slack.
