Scared to have sex. Anyone else not yet?

Question

My baby is 9 weeks old and I still haven't tried to have sex. I had a large episiotomy wound so feel I didn't really recover until about 7 weeks pp. But now I'm scared to try. I had a 9lbs 9oz baby and when I looked in the mirror after he was born I looked really stretched and worried about if my husband will even feel it the same. I've not had a period yet so haven't started my pill yet which worries me also as I certainly don't want to another baby any time soon.

Answer

I’m 10 weeks pp and haven’t had sex yet either! I had a second degree tear so I understand!

Answer

I've had sex a few times after my 6 week PP visit and got cleared, but ....tmi..I felt like I had to be broken in again? I felt like it was my first time all over again.

Answer

TERRIFIED. I delivered my baby, who was also big, 10lbs7oz, and had a third degree tear. So scared 😭

Answer

Tried after being cleared at 6 weeks. Used lubrication and it was still very painful. Realized you need to use water based lube- Astroglide, not KY because it’s oil based.

Answer

I havent, I'm still not cleared for it. I had 2 2nd degree tears and had to have one cut because it over healed too tight. Itll be at least another 4 weeks until I can. 
I wouldnt worry about being too stretched tho, that's not really a thing and just use condoms for birth control.
