Post Birth Sex, would like a bit of advice.

[TheCookieMonstersBFF]

Right, I'm approaching the point where DH is begining to look appealing again and I feel more like a human being rather than a train wreck and I would like a bit of advice on how to proceed so to speak.

When my DC was born I had to have an episiotomy and sitches (which have healed quite nicely). I'm also breastfeeding and have quite fountainous breasts which seem to have a mind of their own at the moment.

I would like to not spoil the mood by covering my DH in breastmilk and also I'm not quite so sure what to expect as the result of having the sitches. Does anyone have any tips about how to go about things?

Also if I get in the mood will my breasts decide to give a water show as well?

Thanks in advance.

Take it slowly. Use load of lube. IME bf makes you produce less natural lubrication (nature's contraception, maybe?!)

It might hurt a bit at first. Goes without saying to only go as far as you are comfortable with. Maybe not full-on penetration initially?

I have experienced let-down in the 'throes' (if you can call it that) of passion before...

I used to leak everywhere in the early days of feeding so I just kept my bra on. You get some really mice feeding bras - hotmilk ones are my favourite.

I've heard of bra hamsters- but never mice

BOF Bra hamsters? Did I miss a thread?

Second taking it slow, and don't feel that you have to carry on if it hurts.

I wish that I had waited longer, and given it longer to heal after stitches.

Breast milk being everywhere is fine and will probably happen when you get in the swing of it - sexy nursing bras are a good way to disguise it and to make you feel sexier at the same time.

Just go at your won pace and OH will understand your tenderness if you tell him about it. If he understands what hurts or what is uncomfortable, he can avoid it - the last thing that he wants is to hurt you.

HTH - have fun ;)

Hmm yes mice bras - sometimes iPads are great, and other times, when they decide what they think you wanted to say, and then you don't read it over, you want to throw them across the room.
