Im 11 wks PP now and it hurts each time i have sex. TBH we've only done it twice since LO has been born (from LO being 9 wks old) and both times its been so painful, its so tight in there and feels like its burning. I dont understand why it hurts when i didnt have a vaginal birth. But i cant enjoy it at all and just want it to be over quick. Anyone else having this problem or know why this is happening?
 
its quite tight for a while after, i think it took me about 3 months last time to not feel like some born again virgin!!!! use lube and go slow...remember, everything has been jiggled around so much for the last 9 months ;-)
 
I am having the same problem and I'm 5 months PP. I don't know what it is. We use lubricants and it doesn't really help. I feel like I'm gonna tear upon insertion. It feels like he's rubbing raw skin while we're having sex. It's really frustrating. I am going to call my OB this week and get an appt as soon as possible. Will let you know what he suggests.
 
I'm having the same problem! I've tried lube. Its so uncomfortable, kinda painful.
 
Had the same problem today, nearly 6 weeks pp. :(. I felt really shallow, too, in addition to feeling like it was rubbing me raw. :/
 
I've had this problem a lot since having LO 15 months ago. I think for me it started as a psychological thing of not wanting my stomach/scar hurt from the weight of OH, which meant I was tense/too tight and it hurt. I used to suffer with vaginismus years ago and the first few times we dtd after the CS reminded me of that. That then affected me subsequent times even though I knew my stomach was fine by then.

Could you be worried about your stomach/scar being hurt? If so, maybe wait a little longer before trying again, or try a position you feel more comfortable in, where you can feel in control or where the pressure isn't on your stomach/scar so you feel more relaxed and less likely to tense up. Not sure if this applies to you, but may be worth a try.
