Sex after birth.

My DD2 was born a week ago and I was lucky enough to have not had any stitches even though she was 9lb5oz! Me and my partner have always had such an amazing sex life, right up until I gave birth.

I was expecting that given I'm only 7 days postpartum that I'd be emotional, hormones everywhere etc. But if anything I can't keep my hands off my partner, he can't keep his hands off me. We're both so in love again (which isn't a bad thing I know), but for obvious reasons we can't have sex. GUTTING!

I'm not selfish been as I can't have any pleasure doesn't mean he can't 😉 But when your in that moment it just isn't fair! And when you've had a big belly stopping you in your path, now it's gone I just want to throw myself all over him!

How long did you all wait until you had sex with your partners? And how was it? Because I can't wait!

First tried after maybe 10 months or so... Wasn't into it... Tried again a few months later... Still wasn't into it. Stopped breastfeeding DS at 19 months and bam sex drive/life returned!

So yeah. 19 months.

God we ended up not having sex for around 8 months. We did try at 8wks PP (...ouch!) and again at various times but I felt so sensitive down there and Blush drier than usual! I had only a 1st degree tear but my entire vagina just felt like I'd birthed a double decker bus out of it for a good few months!
