Sex for the first time after baby
Show your support
Takes a few months to feel normal again.
We waited as long as yourselves as well and unfortunately it’s still very uncomfortable but have to remember for some of us it just takes time. It has got slightly easier but not much yet. I had emergency after failed vaginal too (after an incredibly long and horrible labour!) - I think perhaps this does make a difference. Hoping it will change but just trying to be patient - sorry if not message you’re looking for ❤️ but just wanted you to know you’re not on your own! Xx
Thank you all! Glad it's not just me!! I've not had much interest in it tbh, so that's probably not helped either 😂
I had an elective C-section and it took a good few times for it to get more comfortable again
I’m 9 months pp (vaginal instrumental birth with episiotomy and tears) and still did not have any sex - I feel scared and with my partner things are not at the best since having our baby!
It does get better! I think you just need to be patient, keep using lube and try different positions etc. we started around 6 weeks PP and certain times in my cycle are uncomfortable, also do your pelvic floors! It helps massively. I can only speak to vaginal birth tho x
