sexy time ques

Anyone have burning after sexy time?  We've probably had sex about 10-15 times post baby so far b/c it still doesn't feel the best for me, and I feel burning and a strong urge to urinate.  Anyone else with similar feelings?  Wondering if it will subside after time or if I should call the doc....  (I know I don't have a urinary tract infection so that can be ruled out.)

    We use lube but I still experience a little bit of burning as we first start.  I am going in for my annual in a couple weeks and plan on asking to be sure that it is normal but I think (unfortunately) that it is.  I EBF and I think that makes it worse, especially in terms of lube.  GL!

    I have a little bit of burning but think it's from the spermicide on the condoms.

    Yeppers! The burning was the worst part for me, but has slowly gotten better. It still burns like heck when I pee after, though. It's due to the vagina walls being thinner and less lubricated because of a lack of estrogen, and it's normal.

    My OB told me that unfortunately it's worse because 1) I'm BFing and 2) I'm on a progesterone-only BC pill. BUt neither of those things are changing any time soon, so I have to just deal with it! It definitely has improved a lot over the last month or so, though.

    Yea, during and after.  OB told me it is too be expected since I tore pretty bad internally.  I drink wine and use lots of lube and I stay on top so I'm in control.  Not really enjoying it yet, but I want to!

    Try not using lube? I have not experienced any burning sensations and I haven't used lube. Its definitely uncomfortable for the first few minutes, but then its okay.

    Totally normal.  I'm ebf and I had a tiny labial tear, so it's still very painful, especially to start.  I only had sex 10 times and then didn't want to try anymore (that was in May).  Now we try a few times a week. 

     I got a cream to help... Xylocaine 5%.  It kind of numbs some of the area.  It's a topical anesthetic, and is perfectly okay to use but only in small quantities.  Doc's instructions were to apply it 30 minutes before sex as many times as needed.  I find it really helps and I'm not sore after either.  If you had to be stitched it'll help too because often it needs "stretched out" again after, if that makes sense.  Check with your doc and see if there's anything that can help.
