Sex after episiotomy and tears?

[Tryandwish]

Hi all.
I gave birth on 13th (4 weeks ago tomorrow) and had ventouse so had episiotomy and still had 2 minor tears as well. I feel like I have healed quite well but still get some stinging when I pee. Looked with a mirror and it also appears healed. Looks like just a nice pink scar so don't why I'm getting any stinging. The area is still a little tender to press so got 2 questions.

1.How long after your episiotomy did you attempt to have sex again?

2.How long after your episiotomy was sex not painful and felt good again?

I'm planning to try conceiving baby no.2 as soon as its comfortable.

Thanks ladies

I had a forceps delivery 6 weeks ago and had to have an epesiotomy. I had sex 4 weeks after and was surprised that it wasn't painful as, from reading other posts I was convinced it was going to be really painful. If you feel ready then go for it, just take your time and stop if it is too uncomfortable. I used KY jelly and it helped a lot. Although sex itself isn't painful I do seem to ache afterwards.
