Postpartum sex

Hey ladies,

I want to know your experience with postpartum sex. I’m nearly 8 weeks postpartum - vaginal delivery, 1st degree tear, 1 stitch and it’s still incredibly painful, we’ve tried a few times now and it still really hurts.

I miss my husband intimately but I’m scared to keep trying because of how much it’s hurt and I don’t want to keep getting disappointed.

We’re using a TON of lube, lots of foreplay and taking it slow but it’s so tight and it hurts a lot even just the tip inside(he’s very thick too)

I’m worried that we won’t get the sex back, and I’m struggling to figure out who I am sexually now that I’m a mom.

Anyone else feel the same way?
