This is probably a bit TMI and I'm pretty embarrassed to ask this but here goes. My periods have recently returned 17 months after the birth of my son who was born by elective section. The song 'like a virgin' springs to mind as an adequate description of how I feel 'down below' when trying to use tampons! It's amazingly sore, and this is where I'm getting graphic, but the entrance to my vagina almost feels raw - once I get past that point it's okay. Felt like this when I had my smear but the nurse didn't remark on seeing anything unusual. Have things just tightened up, so to speak, and will it get better with time? I seem to remember something similar when my eldest child was born but don't remember it being as sore as this. Anyone else have similar experience? TIA
