6 months post birth- 2nd Degree Tear

Hi there,

I’m 6 months post vaginal delivery where I tore quite a bit and required stitches. It was a 2nd degree tear. I still don’t feel fully healed down there. It was a VBAC delivery and my c-section still had pain well over a year later. Healed keloid.

Sex is the furthest thing from my mind and it’s painful now. I feel like the stitches (which are healed according to my 6 week check up) are opining there again. I have no sexual interest or drive and when hubby does engage in sex with me I find it painful now no matter the position or how gentle,

Anyone else have this issue? When did the pain finally go away? I never experience pain before my VBAC. Does the libido ever come back? I’m also EBF
