Sex after C-section? Bleeding, other questions etc.

Question

How long did you bleed after baby?
Did your vagina change in anyway since baby didn't actually come out that way?
Will sex hurt after c-section?  Since they cut all those muscles and uterus I'm nervous to have sex lol.
Currently breastfeeding and experience random pain in my nipples for no obvious reasons. No clothing rubbing.
Why?
How long until your period came back while breastfeeding, after c-section was it worse, same or better than prior?
I know it's random all over the place questions l. FTM with no  clue lol

Answer

I had my c section 3 weeks and 1 day ago! I still have discharge that’s tinted a little red. I get more when I’m being more active, obviously! I get a pinching sensation in my boobs when they’re “refilling” with milk as I call it 😂 I haven’t had sex yet, too afraid! My incision got infected and it’s finally scabbed over the parts that were oozing and gross. I sneezed today and it hardly hurt, yay for healing!

Answer

My vagina was also pretty swollen and definitely sensitive.  I waited until 10 weeks pp to have sex and while it didn’t HURT, it was quite uncomfortable for the first few months.
 
Bleeding: I bled while at the hospital, but I personally didn’t bleed much.  That seems to be the norm for me though.
 
Never had my period after my csection (also somewhat normal as I have PCOS), but then again I became pregnant 10 months pp.  I was exclusively pumping.

Answer

The incision never hurt for me but my vagina felt sooo swollen for months after. Definitely take it slow and lots of lube. I only bled maybe a week after but I had hemorrhaging in the hospital so that probably contributes.
