Estrogen: After giving birth, especially if you are breastfeeding, your estrogen levels go down and it's estrogen that keeps the vagina moist and well lubricated. You might consider (especially if you are breastfeeding) to talk to your doctor and get a Rx for vaginal estrogen cream or ring or pill to help bring it back to life. Not to worry though, likely due to childbearing and will get better!
