I realise that there are far more serious problems on here, but I would really like to know if what I'm feeling is normal. Our baby was born twelve weeks ago by emergency c-section and I still feel quite traumatised by the experience. At my six week check my doctor gave me contraception and said we could have sex whenever we were ready.
The very thought of sex terrifies me at the moment. My husband is very supportive and knows I'm not ready. My wound hasn't healed yet and I'm struggling to come to terms with the changes in my body, but I feel like it's more than that. Has anyone else experienced this? Please tell me it won't last forever!
