sex postpartum

idk why i’m scared to have sex…it’s been pretty much 6 months postpartum i am 100% healed down there, i pretty much healed up the first 2 weeks because i didn’t get any stitches. i got a small tear but it didn’t need stitching it just healed up itself. but idk why im so scared of intercourse, i think i’ve just read stories about sex hurting after having a baby and i’m also scared i might tear back up??? & just that it’s going to hurt inside idk is that even possible 😭 am i the only one and how do i change it because i am horny and so is my partner but i can’t get past being scared of anything going up there after having my baby 💀

We just took things really slowly when we started and my husband let me have full control so if anything hurt I could stop. It felt a little different at first just because I had stitches but didn’t actually hurt just felt more tight

i was terrified after giving birth and i also got a womb infection that went septic after giving birth, this made me even more terrified plus it took longer to heal, i waited 2 months before me and my partner did but i don’t think i was ready at all and it did hurt, however we were just gentle and if it hurt we stopped. however now being 6 months pp i finally feel back to actually wanting to have sex again and i would have waited till 6 months. so i’d say just take it very slow and be gentle and if it hurts stop. plus it may feel different than before in general due to things moving when giving birth xx

i think once you do it and get through the first time you’ll be okay! there’s no reason you should tear, just take it slow and make sure you’re the one in control. it hurt for me but that was at 6 weeks after having stitches, i’m sure you’ll be fine

I’m 4 months PP and I had a c section, I’m still scared to have sex! I want to and my partner does I told him he has to initiate bc I’ll be too scared to actually start. You’re not alone!! Take things at your own pace and communicate throughout!

my partner has a TMI but big and thick one and even before i had a baby it would still hurt abit so maybe that’s why im also scared….argh im so scared 😅 hearing that it hurts some makes me even more scared 😂

@Beth due to things moving?!?!?! what does that mean 😅 what moved
