What sort of pain? How long after CS? I find it painful as well, but then again have only had sex twice since DD was born (she's 3 now )

Hmm, that's not the same as me...for me it's painful 'inside', as if something's being banged or bruised, and then achy afterwards. I'm sorry - no advice. Perhaps you're not relaxed enough or something? I hope someone else can help you

Best of luck!

yeah I thought about that, but I had no reason to NOT be relaxed - I couldnt wait to get back to it (waited till 6 week check - attempt 1 was about 4 hours after it!) and didnt think for a second that it wouldnt be 'normal' as I hadnt had a vaginal birth

maybe hormone changes making things drier? or could you have mild thrush - did you have ab's after the c section?

used tonnes of lube

know what thrush pain feels like that and its not that - it feels like there's damage or tearing IYKWIM

anyone else had damage from vaginal examinations during a labour that ended in a CS?

I had the same.
I even went back to the hospital and had a full examination.

There were no problems at all, just use plenty of lube & take your time, don't rush things.
