Scar tissue makes sex impossible...

So my son is 11 weeks old and we've had sex once.  And it was horriibblleee.  It literally felt like I still had stitches "down there".  We tried again tonight and I just couldn't do it, it was worse than the last time.  I just saw my OB for a string check for my mirena and she didn't pay any mind to it, she just asked if it felt uncomfortable having sex and then sent me on my way.  Is anyone else currently going through this?  Will it get better on it's own or should I go back to my doctor?

    Some positions we just can't do because of scar tissue. We started having sex at exactly 8 weeks PP and it was terrifying. Definitely start off slow in a safe position! I found that me on top was great because I was in control. It gets better!

    I wonder if this may be my problem too? Although we started having sex at 7weeks but now like it feels more uncomfortable then when we started. Like only one position is comfortable now. Could that be a scar tissue problem too?

    I had a c section, but sex was not comfortable the first few times. I'm 12 weeks pp and we started having sex at 9.5 weeks pp. I couldn't even really do it the first time we tried. It's like being a virgin again. I found that the position where it's basically doggy, but laying down, made for a less painful experience. We're on 5 times now in the last 3ish weeks and it's only just now becoming less painful. :/

    The one thing that has saved our sex life is the lube called Pink Water. We use plenty of it on the back part of me where I have a lot of scar tissue and sometimes we even replenish during the middle of the act. It keeps everything moving without tugging and feeling rough on the scarred areas. 

    The first few times we tried, I broke down. It was uncomfortable. There was too much pressure and the scarred areas would get dried out and it would just be roughness skin on skin. We had never been lube people before, but it gave me the confidence to relax. We haven't been able to do all the positions but some of the more "making love" positions have been more than comfortable.

    I hope you find what is right for you, because it was really hard on me to not be able to connect with DH on that level for so long. We had barely gone a week without engaging prebaby, so even the mandatory 6 weeks was a strain. And then for the first few attempts to end in tears and fear... I knew there had to be a solution. Lots and Lots and Lots of lube.
