11 weeks PP and very painful sex???

Question

I had my son on October 8th, normal healthy vaginal birth. I had a 1st degree perineum tear and a labial tear. Both requiring stitches. I waited the full 6 weeks before trying anything and it was so painful and still is today. It almost feels like there’s a wall in my vagina, like the canal has been shortened which doesn’t even make sense. Wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar and what happened?? We need the romance back! 😢

Answer

Well thank you for waiting the full 6 weeks! Some don't, and it can have horrible outcomes. So good job for that. 
As for the pain, I'd definitely bring it up with your ob, but for some it can be painful at first. It's scary the first time, or few times, so some woman tense up, and don't create much natural lubricant. I'd make sure there is PLENTY of foreplay, go slow, and try to relax and enjoy yourself.

Answer

Sex was painful for me for 3 or 4 months but I'd still recommend talking to your gyno about it so you can gain reassurance and he/she can get a look at things.

Answer

I had an episiotomy, and it was painful for the first five months. It’ll get better, just give yourself time and patience. Communicate with your partner about how it’s feeling and keep everything lubricated, although that didn’t always help me. But it will go back to normal! Of course, if you’re still concerned, talk with your doctor about it. ❤️

Answer

Well it's usually painful for every woman to have sex again for the first time after giving birth, I had a partial third degree tear with my first baby and tried doing it 3w pp and it wasn't enjoyable!
