Hi loves! I am expecting my second baby in less than 2 months, and my first is a little over 10 months old.

After I had my son, I only had a 2nd degree tear with a few stitches and my recovery was really quick and things down there were pretty much back to normal within just a few weeks. But ever since having him and healing fully, my vulva- particularly around my vaginal opening, has been so sensitive. It becomes irritated and raw so easily. If I have sex with my husband and there’s any resistance when he first enters me (which is often, because I’ve always been particularly tight, even after my son- I’m just generally pretty small in stature) or if I have to wipe more than a few times after going #2, the skin around my opening and taint area becomes so raw that sometimes it even bleeds. And if it’s already irritated, pooping STINGS cause it feels like the raw part is being stretched- almost like I’m making new stretch marks around my hole. I never had this issue before and, again, my recovery was pretty easy breezy beautiful covergirl. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this after having their baby?? And if anyone knows WHY it’s happening? I’m tired of the stinging and bleeding y’all 🥲
