Sex after birth

[Kathjax]

Hi all!

So me and my partner have done the deed 5 weeks after I gave birth but during it I couldn’t feel much Asif I was numb or my vagina had become really loose??

Anyone else experience this and will I get back to normal??

It is quite normal to feel like that and yes it you will get the feeling back, are you doing pelvic floor exercises?

I’m doing like the tensing where you hold it a few seconds xxx

At 5 weeks, you really are still healing. I wouldn’t expect things to feel normal so soon. I’m 3 weeks pp after a really easy natural birth and I couldn’t imagine having sex again in 2 weeks! After our first, we didn’t do it successfully until she was 7 months! That’s quite a long time and had more to do with just being exhausted and having no free time in the evenings. But I wouldn’t expect to even try before about 8-12 weeks. Just give it some time and see how you feel.

Did you feel numb when you did it with your first

Good on you getting back on that horse so quickly 😂 I didn't have sex until 4months pp. The first time I felt loose 😬 but the second time it felt tight like skin around my stitches were too tight.

I guess it takes our bodies a while and our minds as think some of it is in our heads. As when I asked my fella he said it was normal like it was before.

Give it time you did push a baby out I'm sure over the next few weeks you will feel things change x
