I gave birth to my beautiful DD almost 5 weeks ago and had a small episiotomy. I can still feel the scar although it's not as painful as it was. I think it's healed ok.
I've got 6 week check up coming up and I'm assuming the GP will give me go ahead to have sex. I know DP has been dropping a lot of hints. Problem is, I'm really scared to have sex again. I don't know if I'm still a bit emotionally traumatised by the birth even though my bits have healed up. Also, things aren't going brilliantly with DP so I think I'm a bit emotionally un-ready for sex.
Does sex after an epi hurt? Is there any risk of the scar re-opening? Does sex feel different? Is it normal to not want sex after having a baby?
