post partum sex

lets talk about post partum sex, and the anxiety that comes along with it for (I think) most of us. my DS is 11 weeks and I still haven't. I'm super nervous! For a few reasons, one: I tore really bad and also got an epesiotomy. When I feel down there I can feel some scaring and just some tougher feeling skin in general so I'm super nervous and probably have an irrational fear that I'll rip again. 2: I don't feel as confident 3: when will I ever have the time?!?! 

How did your "second first time" go? I'm to the point where I feel physically ready to connect with my partner again but I'm just too scared.

    First few times hurt pretty bad. Honestly I still feel tender down there.. We still do it I have to be in control though. I'm 12 weeks postpartum.

    I felt the same way. I didn't have sex until my daughter was about the same age. Maybe a couple of weeks younger. I didn't tear bad at all, nor did I feel much (Thank youuu epidural) but I didn't feel like I was myself. Don't rush yourself. And if you do choose to have sex, tale things slowly and work your way up. Lube and forplay is a great thing.

    All I can say ladies is that from my small experience it does get better. I had a bit of a rough patch - certain things I used to like just don't do it for me anymore. The first time was very scary for me. Even the second and third were uncomfortable (no pain but definitely no pleasure)...but it does get better.

    I'm 12wks pp and while certain things still twinge, I feel normal again. Flabby...but normal. 

    Good luck and be patient ❤
