Already mommies... Sex after childbirth
Hi everyone! I am 5 weeks postpartum. Vaginal birth. My husband and I were fooling around last night and he barely touched the outside of my vjay jay and the pain was awful. I did have some tearing on my inside vaginal wall but none on the outside. Is this normal?
I had sex at the 4 week and i did have a cut as well it hurt a bit at first but I got over it. We did do it slow just so I won't hurt myself. :) butbdont push it if you can't let it heal until your ready.
For me, once he was fully inside the pain would go away, it just took my body a second to get used to it.
It's totally normal. My husband and I had sex at 3 weeks postpartum and it hurt, and I was already healed from my tear. It hurt every time until about 7 weeks after then it was back to normal.
Yeah I told him no penetration yet. He was just rubbing around the outside. That's why it was frustrating. I can't imagine having sex after the pain just rubbing caused.
@anm89... How did you get through it? Holy cow it hurt lol.

We had sex at 3 weeks post partum. I had a c section though and it didn't hurt at all
No my appt isn't until next week. Ive just read all the post on here about women having sex like 2 weeks after childbirth. No big deal I'm not worried enough to go to the dr early. I have to go to the navy hospital and they don't generally do walk-ins. Just wondering if it was normal is all. Thank you!
I did on my 6 week mark. It hurt pretty dang bad for the first few times because it was super tight and still sore inside. It gets better over time, but I wouldn't push it. It will just make your recovery harder and longer.
I think they say to wait to have sex after 6 weeks with a vaginal birth or until your doctor gives you the go ahead. If it hurts I wouldn't do it
Did u get ur appt yet? Its possible ur not fully healed and need more time. Thats what the dr is for he'll tell you whats best. But i hear ur vagina also goes back to being pretty tight, tighter then before.
