Did you have vaginal pain with sex after having a c-section?

Question

I went into labor naturally but ended up having a c-section after pushing off and on for almost 5 hours for failure to descend. I’m 12 weeks PP and have only had sex twice and both times it was painful. It’s not an issue with wetness, it feels almost like it’s too tight. I’m not sure if I’m just not healed or what’s going on.

Answer

Yes, and it turns out my labor damaged my pelvic floor, even after having a csection.
If it continues to hurt, don't suffer through it! Seeing a physical therapist was the best thing I could've done!

Answer

I feel like this too but I had a planned c-section so I didn’t even try pushing. I didn’t think I had a problem with wetness either but my obgyn had me use an estrogen cream and it really helped. She said when you’re breastfeeding your estrogen is a lot lower causing it to be dry. I wanted to argue with her that I wasn’t dry but I figured I’d just try it and it did help

Answer

Absolutely. I asked my doctor and he said it was normal swelling. Apparently it takes longer to go down because of gravity and “pooling”. I’m 19w PP and it just started feeling normal again.
