Sex after birth

I had my baby in January, but sex still hurts? It’s not just uncomfortable it feels like I am completely ripping open again?

Same thing here. Just make sure that you guys are doing a lot of foreplay and that you’re actually turned on + LOTS of lube.

What kind of lubes have you tried?

@Asia I love our names lol

Awww mann @Amy I was told its not meant to hurt even after episiotomy. Sometimes feels uncomfortable for me at first but doesn't hurt

Rubbish that it’s causing you that much pain, might be worth speaking to your GP and to get a referral to a women’s physio or if able to pay privately. Hope things improve x

Use Lube and try masturbation so your comfortable before introducing your partner

I had a 3a tear and sex used to hurt before (long story). Now it feels different but I can feel the scarring on the vaginal wall when we're intimate. My partner says it feels the same but it definitely does not for me. It's certainly a weird feeling now. Lots of water based lube and going slow. Also pelvic floor exercises - can't recommend enough.
