Back in the sack...what to expect?

So, sorry if this is TMI, but I had my 6 week PP checkup today and was cleared for sex. I had a c-section so I doubt much will feel differently to me but still have to ask. What was your first time after baby like?

Better than before baby. (But make sure you use lube.)

Also a c-section mam here. First time hurt still but mostly because things were very um... tight? I second the lovely mama above me on the use lube comment. Be slow, make sure he takes good care of you before things get too crazy

We finally made it happen at seven weeks, and it went much better than I expected. No pain, although a bit of soreness after.  FWIW, I had a vaginal birth with two first degree tears.

With DS1, I had a csection (but labored beforehand too) and things still hurt pretty badly.  Everything was very, very dry for about a year and half too due to breastfeeding.  Make sure you have lots of lube on hand beforehand.  This bab

That's what I thought after my c/s with DD1, too - nothing happened down there (I never labored), so things would be fine, right? Wrong. Even with lube, it felt like sandpaper and I couldn't let him finish it hurt so badly. I was still pumping at the time
