I've had two children. The last thing I wanted for at least three months after the babies were born was sex. My insides and my outsides were still healing. I would never have even thought about cheating. There wouldn't have been time!!

Your baby just came home last Friday. A preemie means tons of work -- far more than what a regular baby needs. It sounds like your girlfriend is trying to be a good mom and get the baby off to a good start. Doesn't the fact that there are social workers all over the place tell you this?

Have you been over to your gf's place to see what all goes on? Change a few poopy diapers and listen to the baby crying without losing your mind and do a few loads of laundry and stop worrying about sex and cheating. Trust me, those two things are NOT on your gf's mind!!

Okay first things first. She has a premature baby on July 1, 2007 and the baby just came home. There is stress and worrying involved just from the baby being a preemie and what problems come with that. She is hormonal, stressed, worried and a whole other host of emotions. That's the first thing that you have to understand. My son was born March 26, 2007 (2 months early) and it is not an easy thing to go through. And then she must make sure that the house is up to the standards of the social worker and that is also very stressful when you just want to enjoy your new baby and make sure she is OK. She could also be going through her postpartum. Sex is probably the last thing on her mind because she is probably tired, stressed, etc. Do you help with the baby? Do you try to give her a break from the baby so she can have a bit of time to herself? All of that is important. Secondly, you say that you guys have court to see if the baby is your's. How do you think that makes her feel? That causes more stress on her. And then you want her to give you more sex, but you question the baby that you guys have. That probably makes her feel betrayed, inadequate and hurt, so to protect herself, she distances herself from you. Think about what she is going through and what you are asking. She is taking on a lot right now and if she has no help or support, then you should be that support if you love her. She's emotional and going through a tough time right now so take caution in the things that you say and be careful not to nag or apply too much pressure. It's not uncommon for men to feel as though they are not getting any attention now that a new baby has arrived, but just remember that she's new to this and she's probably trying to get as adjusted to a new situation as you are.

Get over there and help the girl out. She is over worked and overtiered. She's most likely mad at you and I don't blame her

Well i went to her house today and it was dirty and our baby was sleep she was at the local hospital with siblings, she seems like she don't want to be bothered with me im so depressed and miss her love i mean the baby comes first.

Why didn't you get to work to clean house and wash dishes??

P.S. Even I would start loving you, if you washed my dishes and cleaned my house. You'll be fighting her off if you help out instead of complain. (Women's romantic feelings begin in their heads, with how guys handle day-to-day stuff like taking out the garbage and helping with the laundry.)

I agree with Wondergirl. She will respond more to you if you help out around the house and with the baby. She has a lot to take care of and if you aren't helping she probably is mad at you. If you think you are depressed, how do you think she feels?

Check out the sites in blue...

BabyCenter -- Advice for New Dads

While you are waiting and watching her be busy around the place and taking care of the baby, try catching up on some stuff you could have been checking out together during her pregnancy.

The site also goes to beginning of pregnancy and shows you the progress. Just in case (and it could well be because you could not wait and did not use protection) that you are going to become a dad again... this time I doubt if you need a paternity test though.

Pregnancy: So you're going to be a dad

This one deals a bit more with becoming a dad.

So, if you can't help her around the house or with the baby, the least you can do is read up and learn so that you can understand and respect what she is doing. Get used to it because your life has changed a lot too, and it will never be "like it was before". What's important now is your attitude towards your "family".

For starters you could tell her the baby is beautiful and that your glad they both made it home safely.

It might be hard but just remember that any little gesture of support will mean SOOOO much, it really will. Don't give up. Even if it's just sending her a card in the mail telling her how much she means to you or how much you care will go a long way, I promise you.

So when you visit, you help around her place and learn how to take care of the baby. Be agreeable and useful and show her what a man can do to tell his woman he loves her.

On another note, have you thought of what you will do if she is pregnant again. Did you two plan on living together at some point or was she just good enough for sex? (Don't answer here, just think) These questions might seem very personal right now, but these and many others are questions that the mother of your child is asking.. maybe not outloud, but they are there.. I hope that you plan on answering some of her unspoken questions sometime soon.

Also, next time, after any more of your children are born, respect the mother enough to wait at least six weeks before having sex, and use a condom (not only to prevent pregnancy but to prevent INFECTIONS), because she is still healing.

So, what is the baby's name?
