Sooo I’m just looking for some first hand experiences
I had a second degree episiotomy and the idea of sex scares me soo much ! How long did you wait till you had sex again? Did it hurt BAD? Basically I want all the details 😭

For me it did but I also had intensive stitches inside due to bleeding - so not an average ep.
Once healed, I found it very painful and gyne said your scar tissue needs time to stretch and elasticate to your body size and shape which takes longer. And that makes sense.
So I think being realistic, start slow, lots of foreplay, lots of lube and if it hurts stops, give it a week and try again.
Be kind to yourself was the gynecology advice.
So paying it forward x
I had trauma so I found it helpful to retain my brain to remember pleasure their first which means lots of OGs before penetration, which helped a lot! .
