Sex after childbirth

So I had a baby and of January (my first one) and I just in the last week feel ready to be sexual again with OH. However I'm experiencing almost traumatic symptoms! Foreplay is fine, even to the point of orgasm from clitoral stimulation (sorry if TMI) and no pain when doing so. It's when it comes to actually intercourse than as soon as anything goes near, I freeze! It's totally psychological, as no physical pain, but I get overwhelmed with worry - I simply do not want anything "inserted". I've tried breathing and relaxing, ensuring we use lubricant, I just can't get past it.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? And if so, what did you find helped?

TIA

Yes and just give it time, you will relax, it was about 6months before I felt properly ready for the full shebang!
