Am I normal? 5 months PP

Hi,

I had my LB 5 months ago and felt fine within myself approximately 10 weeks after giving birth.

My partner and I attempted to have intercourse the first time which was far too painful so we stopped. Since, we have successfully had sex twice.

Following this, my views about myself have changed - I don’t feel right ‘down there’. Firstly, I feel as though there is scar tissue around my vaginal opening which is not very nice to look at IMO. Secondly, I didn’t feel right inside so after having a feel, I can feel something in my Vagina - maybe my cervix but it’s lower than it was before birth. Thirdly, my Vagina feels bigger - I am doing my pelvic floor exercises which have worked wonders for my bladder but not the size of my vaginal opening.

Mainly because of the scar tissue, I am really reluctant to have sex - I even cried when my partner touched me the other day as I was getting in the shower. Luckily, he is very understanding!

Some days I think I should just get it over and done with and have sex but then the thought makes me cry again because I feel so self conscious of my body Sad and I am worried that it will be painful!

I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday but I am worried in case I am palmed off with ‘it will get better over time’. I feel so bad for my partner who has not had sex now for 8ish weeks!

Am I normal?!?
