Sex

Have y’all been able to have sex yet? I tried when I was 6 weeks and 2 days with a lot of lube but it hurt too much right away so has to stop right away. I was about to try again because I’ll be 8 weeks postpartum in 3 days, but even a tongue was causing me pain, it almost feels like a burning pain? Does anyone else have this experience, I’m worried it’s not normal and I really miss having sex. My next appointment isn’t for another week and a half.

Yes I have had sex twice and both it hurt. I thought maybe lube can help but I haven’t bought it lol…. I’ve also been exhausted to try again but my husbands been asking a lot if we can…… I think it’s normal. Some people need more time healing. This is my second baby. It was the same the first time.

I have tried multiple times with it being painful. There’s scar tissue down there now so I think it is normal. My OT brain says to massage the scar to soften it. I’m not sure if that will help or not. But my husband and I are just giving myself a few more weeks to heal before we try again.

I tried at 6w and couldn’t since I was nervous and not in the mood. But it was a lot better for me around 9 weeks! Didn’t end up needing lube and it happened naturally so there was no pressure or time for me to overthink.

Yes! It has been super uncomfortable a few times, but with lots of “prep work” it went a lot better. I had issues with pain before even getting pregnant and pelvic floor PT helped SO MUCH. There was no pain. I cannot wait to start back!!
