Does sex feel the same after birth?

Question

FTM here, I had no tears or stitches. And I’m just curious for you mamas whose given birth before.. did sex ever feel the same? Better? Worse? Tell me your experiences! I’m nervous to see what it’s going to feel like now!

Answer

With my first I had stitches and sex still felt the same after.

Answer

I had a c- section and had sex after 3 weeks. It was painful I wont lie. Felt like it was closed on the inside. We had sex again after and it was abit painful but not as painful.

Answer

6 weeks pp c section. We tried last night with lots of lube and it hurt burned and felt closed off so we had to stop. Ughh we were both looking so forward to finally having sex again

Answer

7 weeks pp, already on birth control and having sex a few times a week. First two times felt really tight and sore, had to buy lube. Feeling more normal as the days go on but I definitely get sore way faster.

Answer

FTM I had a C-section, we're only 3 weeks a few days into healing and haven't been given the clear to have sex, but I really have 0 sex drive and am not really excited to start again tbh 😅
Idk what the hell it is, I love my fiancé to death and I'm still very much attracted to him but if he wants to sext or anything like that I get so irrationally annoyed and my mind just goes blank. Hoping this is just hormones or something or because I'm still sore around my incision and so far into "new mom mode" and maybe it will go away by the time we get the clear to have sex.

Answer

After my first baby I had a second degree tear as well as a vaginal tear on the inside. It was painful, and healing from that was a little rough. Needless to say, I was terrified to ever have sex again. I waited 9 weeks, before I was willing to try, and thankfully it was totally fine. 👍🏻

Answer

I had no tears and stitches as well. It felt the same for me, just a little sore of course.

Answer

Also wondering ftm and had stitches, the thought of it being painful is scary lol
