I had a baby 4 months ago via emergency C-section following a failed six-day induction, I had lots of very invasive interventions during the induction and about 25 cervical checks, which bloody hurt! I think I might have a small bladder prolapse as well, as I had some difficulty inserting my mooncup during my first PP period.
I really want to resume having sex with DP, he hasn’t even mentioned or suggested sex at all as I think he wants me to initiate so I don’t feel pressured because he knows how much I went through during the induction. I’m just struggling to get over the fear of sex being painful and because I still feel a bit traumatised after having so many different midwives and consultants shoving their fingers inside me over the course of the six days I spent being induced.
Part of me wants to just try, but I don’t want to compound the anxiety by trying and finding it uncomfortable. Any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you.
