this a post with waaay TMI. Forewarned is forearmed!
DS us 12 weeks. Forceps delivery, episiotomy.
Episiotomy has healed well but on the 2 occasions DH and I have had sex it's hurt, a lot. The second time (tonight) it hurt so much we had to stop. I don't think it's the episotomy scar- the pain is deep inside, on my vaginal wall. It isn't getting any better, though as I say, we've only done it twice.
The first time it hurt but the pain eased as we continued IYSWIM. The 2nd time the pain didn't improve and we had to stop.
Both times have resulted in some light bleeding/ pink discharge.
Following the birthing I've had significant incontinence and a slight rectal prolapse and I suspect a slight vaginal one too, I have a uro-gynae appointment in May. I don't think the two are related.
Is this kind of pain with sex normal? I'm already having major issues about sex post birth due to the delivery, incontinence and my body image without pain making the actual sex unpleasant too!
