Does sex still hurt for you 4months postpartum?

Question

TMI warning:
Sex is still really uncomfortable for us. We use lots of lube, go slow, etc. I did have a 2nd degree tear and 3 stitches, but I feel like by now it shouldn’t hurt. Anyone else dealing with this? Please tell me I’m not alone 🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

Still haven’t had sex 😓😓😓

Answer

Go and get checked for scar tissue!

Answer

yes girl. almost 5 months postpartum and had a second degree tear and stitches as well. anytime any kind of pressure is put on where my stitches were it hurts so bad. we can only do certain positions but still have to use lots of lube and go slow too.  I feel you!! i just want my old sex drive and sex life with my SO back 😩😩😩

Answer

First time was so uncomfortable but a lot of foreplay it has gotten so much better. I hope it gets easier for you x maybe too much overthinking it otherwise I agree with other comment about scar tissue
