In my second pregnancy and just like my first, I cannot have sex. I literally can’t. I feel immediate sharp, stabbing pain when anything goes in and comes out. I’m trying so hard but I can’t help but either push or just panic because of the pain. I feel terrible for my partner because he has been so patient. This happened during my first pregnancy and up until our toddler was about 18 months (likely because of breastfeeding) but close to when our toddler turned 24 months I started feeling normal again and was able to have sex.
But once I got pregnant, the pain returned. I just don’t understand, I even went to a pelvic therapist during my post partum because this is seriously becoming an issue. I don’t know if it’s mental or whatever but I just need to know if anyone has any advice because I hate this. It honestly sucks and I don’t know what to do.
