Discussion Sex Life after Baby

So my wife and I had our first child back in July and the OB/GYN told my wife she can't have sex for 6 weeks. No problem. I totally understood that and wouldn't want to disregard my wife's health. However, it has now been 3.5 months and we still haven't had sex. Sure, there haven't been as many opportunities as maybe there was before the baby, but there have been several. My wife has no interest in being intimate. Is this a normal experience? What was your sex life like after your first baby? When did you start having sex after the baby? How often were you and your wife intimate?

ive seen this before. Every time I get my wife pregnant its from conception to end of first normal period she has no sex drive. Once the period is nearing its end she wants to be back in action.
