Sex after labor

Hello, I’m having my first baby in a few weeks and it concerns me how sex will be after labor. Does the vagina go back to its regular size or how can I take care of myself so it does? Thanks!

In my opinion sex feels much different the first few times after labor I think I waited 8 weeks but I had a second degree tear and it just feels different…vagina definitely goes back to normal size if not tighter

It definitely hurts the first time since giving birth. But after a few times it will hurt less and less.

Definitely wait the six weeks at minimum, take it slow, talk to your partner about your concerns and or fears. It goes back to normal size wise, you might notice some differences but for the most part should all be the same feeling that said it can take more than the six weeks to feel that way so be patient with body.

It hurts the first few times but honestly I haven’t felt any difference in my vaginal. If you are worried be consistent with kegels! Also if you are breastfeeding it may be a little dry down there so buy some water based lubricants 🫶 I hope you have a beautiful delivery and recover quickly

You can go see a pt. They can help massage you down there for quicker healing. The orgasm is much stronger after birth.
