My LO is 16 weeks old and the other night DH and I thought it was time to have sex for the first time since our son was born. I had an episiotomy and a 3rd degree tear, so needless to say I was very nervous!
Anyway, it didn't go well. I felt so tense even though my DH is very patient and supportive. He barely touched me, it hurt and we had to stop.
I feel pretty down about it as I really want to resume our normal sex life but I'm just scared that it'll be too painful. I know I'm just going to have to grit my teeth and get on with it as that's the only way it'll get better but I'm not looking forward to it!
What are people's experiences with resuming sex after tears/cuts? Did you just have to power through and then it got better in time?
Thanks x
