Help! Ten months after giving birth (normal, but with a few stitches), sex is still agony. In fact, to be completely honest, we've only done it twice since the birth - once at six months and once at nine months. But we had to stop pretty sharpish because it was too painful.
Am i just being a woos? will it get better if we just keep trying? Luckily, DH is very patient, and also too tired with getting up in the night to mind all that much!
It's a sort of stretching, ripping type of pain where the stitches were 
It took around three months after birth for the stitches to stop hurting during the day, too, although the doctor and midwives told me it had healed completely normally.
It's hard not to feel like a big hypochondriac when everything looks normal but feels so bad.....bah.
