Orgasm after childbirth

[mypurple]

I'm 3.5 weeks pp, had an episiotomy with forceps birth.

Today I realised I didn't reach climax when I orgasmed. It was like a really muted orgasm. I am really exhausted with the newborn and it did feel quite dry down there afterwards. But after a quick google search, apparently not being able to orgasm is common after a forceps delivery and some women said they required months of physio to feel back to normal again!

I've been doing kegels every now and then, when I do remember to do them I do 100 in one go.

Sorry TMI but when I go wee I feel like once I'm done my vag feels like it's quite open like when I've been pushing out and I squeeze once I'm done it pulls back up quite a lot (don't know if that makes sense ). Otherwise I don't have urinary incontinence or anything. Also when I looked down there 2 weeks pp my vag opening looked wide, but when I looked a week later it looked considerably more closed up.

So is it just the case it takes time to heal and get back to normal or will I be requiring lots of physio to go back to normal?? Anyone else have the same thing????

To be honest I am really surprised you attempted sex having had a forceps delivery and episiotomy! Surely you are still healing and general advice is to wait until at least 6 weeks after birth.
Give it time and enjoy your new born, things will settle down.

3.5 weeks is still very soon. Your body has been through a huge and traumatic ordeal and needs quite a bit of time to fully recover. Give yourself a couple of months at least.

3.5 weeks pp is very soon, it was the last thing on my mind,
Your body is still healing from a huge and traumatic event. Your muscles have been stretched to accommodate your growing baby. Pregnancy and childbirth put our bodies through immense changes during those 9 months. It takes up to a year to fully recover and for everything to go back, I won’t say back to pre pregnancy status. It never really does.

3.5 weeks is really soon. It takes a while (several months) to get back to normal.

I had forceps delivery and I was at least 6 weeks before we had sex. I think I made it to about 4 weeks before I gave in to some DIY... but deff no sex until 6 weeks +
