Pain while having sex after birth

I want to start this off by saying I am 10 months pp. Ever since giving birth, it literally feels like I’m re-tearing every time I have sex. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed sex. My daughter had shoulder dystocia and was 9lbs so I got a ton of stitches and had a pretty bad tear, but it healed up pretty good but has hurt having sex since. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes! I was told I needed pelvic floor therapy

my son is almost 4, havent had sex in 2 years but when i was having sex, it hurt for me to, i know a few women who deal with this, hope you get it sorted girl x

I’m 9month pp and it’s really painful for me too xx

I have this too, although it has got slightly better!! I was told to try and massage my scar when I’m in the shower / bath just with the water and kind of going in little circle motions as it could be scar tissue! X
