Sex post-childbirth - need help from gurus [sad]

(not a troll, I know all about cod, the bat, soapy's christmas appeal, the grapes, the tablecloth, the macaroons, the cube of poo etc)

First child is now past 6 months and the sleep situation is improving to the point that regular sex (rather than hasty blowjobs etc) is a possibility.

However, not to put too finer point upon it, the midwife appears to have put in one stitch too many. I'm too tight .

Even after three glasses of wine, extensive foreplay and extra lubrication sex is bloody painful, and not just at the moment of penetration but for the whole time.
I am starting to find myself avoiding sex, which is crap because I want it and so does DH and we now actually have the opportunity.

Hints and tips?
Is it just practice?

(I am seriously hacked off with the MW - bet she thought she was being helpful )

Thank God for this thread! My DH and I tried to have sex last night for the first time post DS and I just couldn't. I figure'd there'd be a certain amount of pain but whoa! I had a cs and it felt like they'd rearranged everything down there. I didn't know that bfing can affect things too. I guess we'll try, try again... after a visit to the drugstore.

JoDivine -gotta say you are scraping the barrel in terms of opportunities to sell overpriced sex toys.

My baby is 5 months and sex has been quite uncomfortable - like you at the entrance. Counterintuitively I actually found last week that deeper penetration positions made the problem go away. (missionary with my legs up round his shoulders/upper back sorry if TMI) it was a bit of a break through. I think it is to do with the angle? I sm sore at the back where the stitces are. So I would suggest alot of experimenting with position and see. It was like flipping a switch the pain vanished as soon as I put my legs up.
