Hurts to have sex

I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum and have already gotten the okay from my obgyn to have sex again but me and my husband tried and it hurt really bad, I didn't start feeling or anything but it hurt to sit after as well (we did not continue when it started hurting) any advice? Me and my husband's sex drives are high and I miss being intimate with him but don't want to undo any healing I have accomplished

I was hurting during sex for a good 6 months plus after, it gets better with time

It took me 8 weeks with my first child and only 2 weeks with my second the first time is always the most uncomfortable 😅🤦🏼‍♀️…you guys can definitely try more fun stuff without penetration

It takes time for things to go back to normal. I’ve had a c section both times and it’s been months before it felt normal to have sex again! Your body has been through a lot, be patient and you can always try other things in the meantime ☺️

Breastfeeding Mamas

I keep seeing mix reviews , did breastfeeding make you loose weight?

What age did you stop breastfeeding?

So I love my breastfeeding journey and I’m not trying to stop anytime soon. My youngest just turned 1. Does anyone have any positive stories to share about their journey and how you dealt with things like biting, dips in supply, or self-weaning?

I’m lost

My daughter turns 6 months soon and will not stop crying. She has NEVERRR been like this at all. I put her down, she cries, I hold her, she cries. I am so tired and slowly going insane. I don’t know why she’s so sad. She doesn’t want a bottle, she doesn’t want to play and she doesn’t want to sleep. Someone please tell me this is normal or if I should take her to a doctor

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Do you think a mom can be committing SA to make her 3 year old nurse?

My friend nurses her 3 year old boy. It was super uncomfortable because she said it’s time for a feed and he threw a fit and said he didn’t want to and then she basically made him. It was weird.
