Hey Ladies, I'm almost 10 weeks pp now, and sex is still really painful. My vagina is really tight. We use lubrication, which helps a bit... but it's pretty unbearable. It's pretty depressing. I've never really been that into sex, and now I have absolutely no libido... Nevermind the fact that I'm 50 lbs heavier than I was pre pregnancy.  But I'd still like to try, for OH's sake.We've only tried 3 times... but I'm so afraid of any sort of penetration that I feel like I'm going to end up with vaginismus. Anybody have any ideas of how to lessen the tightness? |

Sounds like the issue is psychological rather than physical. You mention how you don't feel attractive and that you're afraid of penetration. Have you considered pleasuring yourself? I might help you relax as you're 'in charge' and can experiment a little to find out what feels best for you pp (which you can then encourage when having sex with your OH). Both you and Isabel are gorgeous, by the way.  |
