Sex after baby

My baby is now 6 weeks old, and I'm desperate for some action but terrified of feeling any discomfort or pain!
Anyone want to share their experiences after labour, and is it likely to hurt as much as I'm expecting??

I would just go with and see how it feels. Plenty of lube on stand by and don't forget some sort of protection. I've had a few friends fall pregnant when they thought they were safe Breast feeding.

The doctors put me on the pill so I'm all good in that department! I read somewhere that you should avoid lube of breastfeeding, is this the case?

Presumably it's the mini pill if you are breastfeeding?

No you don't need to avoid lube if breastfeeding.

Yep mini pill!
Great stuff, better get myself some lube in. Hopefully it won't feel too strange!
