Sex after baby

My baby is now 15months, but I still feel pelvic floor pain during sex with my husband. Sex was great before baby, orgasms were frequent.. now after birth I can't even remember when I last had an orgasm, counting from about 2nd trimester of pregnancy until now, I feel so bad to tell my husband this. Is it just fatigue? (I feel tired all the time anyway) or an underlying issue?.. wonder if anyone else had similar experiences

Im having the same issue here.

Sorry you are feeling this way:/ Please seek pelvic floor therapy! I didn’t even know this was a thing and avoided dealing with my pelvic floor problems for so long. It has helped me in so many ways!

Yes you can start doing kegels and other pelvic floor exercises, also maybe try doing more clitoral stimulation?

It really depends on so much. I had issues for a long time with my first. Pelvic floor therapy is crucial. I did it postpartum following my first and during my pregnancy with my second and didn’t need it postpartum with my second bc I already knew what to do. It’s hard for anyone to recommend exercises without knowing your specific issues. I had issues from tightness due to muscle weakness. So I was told not to do kegels until I had stretched for a while and then build up my strength after. Also, sometimes there’s dryness postpartum especially due to hormones so lubricant can help.
