I’m a little scared to have sex again. I’m 8wks pp, and I had a 2nd degree tear which is now fully healed up but it still freaks me out lol. I definitely want my man, but besides me being scared, all I think about is my baby. On top of that, where are you guys doing the do? Same room as the baby? I might be putting too much thought into it, but I don’t think I could even get in the mood with my baby in his bassinet next to the bed. Has anyone else felt like this? No judgement please! I don’t have the capacity for that today. Or any day really lol.

I was also scared after a 2nd degree tear. I don’t think we even attempted until around 12 weeks. Baby was in the same room but across from us a good amount. I wasn’t super comfortable with that so after that first time we just moved it to the shower or living room. Went slow and gradually got back to normal. Being scared and hesitant is normal. Don’t rush things. There’s also other ways to enjoy each other without penetration try that if you’re feeling uncomfortable
