Sensitive cooch?
Usually I am the one with the high sex drive, but ever since I’ve been pregnant… I’ve not been in the mood and it’s annoying. I feel bad for my boyfriend! :(
Mentally I am thinking about sex but my body is like “no” and I think it’s mainly because after we do, I’m so sore and sometimes it’s almost like raw and itchy, which I’ve never experienced. Doctor says all of our tests came back with no sign of anything and she doesn’t see anything wrong, she gave me a cream for the itching part but I’m really wondering how to avoid it all together? It’s so unusual for us. We’re both very clean people & unfortunately it’s still embarrassing to ask other moms because people associate those symptoms with infections and pass judgments instead of acknowledging everyone’s body is different during pregnancy and likely wouldn’t be willing to admit they’ve experienced the same. NO JUDGEMENT ZONE! If you’ve experienced this please send advice… we just want to get back to the sextivities. 🥲

Sex for me is painful after now. A little bit of itchiness so I can understand how that goes. I try to still have it even when I'm not really in the mood but, in the mood or not, it hurts after.
Would a warm wash up after help with the itchiness?
Postpartum recovery can make you feel dry especially if you are breast feeding. it is very normal to experience dryness. I agree with lube will become your best friend.if you find that awkward for you and your partner you could use a pre-lubricated condom or both. Just make sure if you use lube and a condom it is the type of lube that doesn’t degrade the latex. I use astroglide and it is safe to use with a condom.
