Sex after episiotomy

Can anyone describe their experience of sex after an episiotomy/bad tear? Does it hurt? What was it like? I’m scared!!

It hurts, use lots of lube. It takes some tries, because it needs to stretch x

I didn't find it painful after mine. it felt different and we went really slowly but all was fine

I found it wasn’t painful but just a little sore we took it slow the first time as I was worried too but honestly there was nothing to worry about!

If you are scared then wait X I had minimal tears and no episiotomy and not planning sex anytime soon. Well not sooner than 10-12 weeks postpartum 🙌🏼 Don't see myself risking any infection or injury or even discomfort earlier. And there are ton of other options how to be intimate ❤️❤️
