sex after episiotomy

[nicole_]

we waited a while longer getting on for 2 months and had no problems, maybe you just haven't healed properly yet?

This, and we used lots of lube.
I personally would never have tried at 4 weeks, I was still walking with a limp at 3 weeks pp

Just while we are on episiotomy talk (I dont want to start a new thread)

How likely is it I will tear along my episiotomy cut with my next baby? It was an unnecessary cut as my LO was just 6lb 11oz. I am frightened of having to go through so many weeks of healing pain again.

I asked a midwife friend of mine this last night as I noticed it never got answered. She said if you do tear having another baby the chances are it will tear along where the cut was as it is scar tissue and a weak point. It doesn’t increase your chances of tearing but if you do tear it is the weak point.
