Painful sex?
I naively thought that having a c section wouldn’t make sex painful after giving birth but 13 weeks after our little girls arrival we thought we’d get back to it again only to find it really hurts internally 🫠 Even found tampons are uncomfortable too. Is that normal? Anyone else? When should it stop?

I think most pain during sex comes from the weakened pelvic floor, which happens during pregnancy and labour. Might be worth considering how to re-strengthen if you haven't already.
I have this. It just feels a little dry and in pain in one particular area. I’m hoping it’ll be less painful soon
Thanks all! I’ll try lube and see if it makes a difference. Didn’t think my pelvic floor was bad as never had issues with incontinence etc but who knows! I’ll look up exercises and just hope it might have just been because it was the first time in months 😅 x
I had a c section and we first had sex again about 6 or 7 weeks after and had no internal pain, just a little discomfort externally around my scar. I would maybe see if you can get a Dr's appointment? X
