Postpartum Sex
Show your support
Use plenty of lube. Literally so much. Should help the first few times.. I tried 8 weeks postpartum after my first and after seeing me wince, my husband immediately stopped and we tried again a few months later. No rush!
Yes tbh but lots of foreplay and lube will be your best friend for awhile and if you’re breastfeeding that’ll also make things a little dry down there but just go slow I had to wait like 8 weeks pp with my daughter I waited longer because I was terrified lol
That's how it felt and still sometimes feels for me. I've found it's because of tightness in my pelvic floor muscles, not dryness. I've worked with a pelvic floor PT to rehab those muscles and doing some perinneal massage before the first couple of times helped kind of warm things up. After that just pushing through a little more each time until it stopped hurting helped.
After the first two times the pain went away. Just try to go slow and use a lot of lube.
Thank you for the advice. It’s so scary and I just hope I enjoy sex again.
Yes you are, I tried 3 weeks post n that’s exactly how I felt as well, so we waited a few more weeks and just go slow don’t force it, n eventually it. Will be back to normal
