 Posted: 07/27/06 - 16:42 Post subject: Painful intercourse after birth |
  |
|
Hi there,
My wife and I just had our son 3 months ago. Perfect Vaginal birth with some very minor tearing. Our doctor stiched her back together and all was well. Or so we thought. In the last few weeks we have tried to have intercourse again but with no luck.
It seems that when shes ready, her vagina has lost the ability to stretch, albeit this is a great ego boost for my manhood but, totally unsatisfying for either of us. In addition her vagina is really sensitive to touch. After a few times of trying, our sexlife has been reduced to nothing but occassional touching. Ultimately we would love to have more children.
Does anyone have an idea what this may be? |

Hi there! Congrats on the new baby! I have had 2 and it took us a while to get back into the swing of things too. We found that after the first, the vaginal just can't keep up with the demands for lubrication like it could before. (If she is breast feeding, that could also be hindering the lubrication too) It was also painful the first 6-7 times but I think that it was more me being afraid that it was going to hurt and making my husband stop. We found that we were better off to take our time and easy back into it all together. Give your wife some credit...she did just push out something the size of a watermelon thru something the size of a tennis ball. You will get back into sex, but it will take some time...and take it from me. We have two kids and we have more sex now than before they came along! (not to mention, it is 50% better!)
Good Luck! |

Me too. 3 months apres birth, and my wife expereriences pain trying to have sex.
Yes, I give her her due, she pushed out the bowling ball. She'd love to have sex too, but when we try, its quite painful for her. We've waited 6 weeks ... times two. And no improvement. It is quite discouraging.
Most of the online literature says, that after 6 weeks, it should be hunky dorey and everyone happy. Well, not the case for us. And it's not lubrication - we tried to fix that, but no help there. It is something else. She had minor tearing, and to her, it feels almost as though some parts of the skin are folded over, and not sewn back together. Doesn't meant that that is what happened, but that is how it 'feels' to her.
Not pleasant.
Well, I guess it is another week of cold showers, maybe two, before we try again. At some point, I think we will likely go see a doctor, and see if they will have any solution. |

| Your wife will still be in considerable pain after 6 weeks! I know because our son is turning 4 months old and we are just now starting to have limited sex. It is still very painful and I bleed quite a bit afterward. Give her some time, be patient and be prepared for it to be a slow go. I know it sucks, believe me she's probably gunning for it as well, but she's been through a lot. |

| baby is 13 and a half months now, and we might have had sex 5 times, maybe 6. most have something to do with hormones, or motherhood, i dunno. I try to initiate intercourse, but to no avail! I guess i will keep taking matters into my own hands! hopefully at some point intercourse will return! |
