Virginity the sequel?

Robin

Since having my daughter 10 weeks ago, it's been hard for me to get to a place where I want to have sex. At 8 weeks, we tried, but I felt pain during foreplay and we stopped. Then this week, we got a bit further, but again, I felt pain inside and stopped it.

How does everyone else get back to it? Is it bad or weird that I'm getting pains?

At my 6 week check up, I was told everything was healing great and was cleared for all activity (including sex).

We tried and failed a few times as well. Eventually did it at about 10 weeks pp but it was NOT enjoyable haha! Took a few months to properly start enjoying sex again. Now 9 months pp and it's just like before I had my son (although finding the time is another issue entirely!). It will get better. Just go at your own pace and try not to worry about it. Birth is traumatic for our bodies and it's bound to take a while to heal completely.

Everyone's different - I'm just giving you my experience. Yes painful, sometimes just uncomfortable due to dryness. It gradually improved.

So... it's going to be unenjoyable for a few months? Do you mean painful?
