I'm going to get right to it ... It's not great news 🙁 I'm 16 weeks pp. Vaginal birth, shoulder dystocia, 2 stitches - not bad.
I had no pain and thought I'd healed well. The only thing that stands out in my mind was that I once wiped after going to the toilet and felt a slight tug and saw stitches on the tissue. I figured they were supposed to do that when they dissolve so never mentioned it at my 6 week appt.
We've tried to have sex 3 times in the last 8 weeks and I just can't do it. First time hurt a little, second hurt more, had to stop and I bled, third time - couldn't even get in without pain. Each time it didn't work I figured I just needed more time to heal. Husband is now terrified to touch me and understandably worried.
I'm obviously going to my GP but wanted to know if anyone had experience with this and what it could mean?
I feel like this is yet another part of myself I've lost since becoming a mother.
