Sex after C - Section

TMI!!
First time mom. I had an emergency c-section 10 weeks ago and sex seems to be off the table. It burns when we attempt to even have sex and it feels completely way too tight?
I feel so embarrassed. Is this forever?

It can feel uncomfortable the first time. Ive had 2CSs. Use lots of lube and take it slow and it will get easier with time. Try and "loosen up" with some foreplay as well, could help 🤷🏼‍♀️

Get checked for a yeast infection if you have burning, you may also need pelvic floor therapy!

I got told it’s common to have hypertonic pelvic floor post c section and that can cause pain x

Should I be concerned?

These results were uploaded at 6am and I can’t get hold of my midwife yet. I didn’t even know a sample was being sent off!

Our May baby finally came last night!

We were having a surprise, and it's our 3rd boy! Came at 41weeks. A bit bigger than expected! But doing well 😊

Maternity triage for reduced movement

In best case scenario, how long do they usually monitor you for before they are reassured when going to maternity triage?
Trying give a realistic estimate for what I should tell my manager before going. Obviously I know it could be longer if they noticed something is wrong.
