I had my first baby 9 weeks ago. I was supposed to be induced but after the cervidel I went from 2 cm (which is where I was at my last doctors appointment) to 10 cm in two hours so no pitocine needed! I tore a little and needed 2 internal stitches. (Sorry for the tmi but they were at the back of my lady parts where the skin is between that and your butt)
Didn't have any issues with the stitches, they healed like normal but still sore when I have sex.
I had like NO sex drive when I was pregnant (my poor hubby lol) and now I am finally starting to get my sex drive back and every time we do it it's so sore!!! My guy is average so it's not like it's him tearing me apart....how long till that small area that was stitched won't be sore anymore?
Re: sex after baby....need advice!
This is also sometimes discussed in the thread titled "Lingering post partum symptoms" or something like that.
Both threads are on the first page now, and should get you the info you want.
Good luck! It's definitely a common challenge, but it gets better.
