Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Jilliane! Ouch, I feel your pain. I (thankfully) didn't have to have that, but 8 weeks later it still hurts to have sex. Have you gone back to your doc for your 6 week checkup? If you're "healed" and there are no other complications you might be told what I was. Keep doing Kegals and give it time. Crappy advice when you're in the mood but in pain! :-) GL and I'd be interested in others' tips too!

Yes I had an episiotomy with my son, and YES it will hurt until you heal. Thats just the way it goes..I waited 3 months until it didnt hurt anymore... oh and good luck years later with that episiotomy...it will still bleed every now and then with vigourous sex, sorry for the TMI.

Hi Jilliane, Kiersten, and VintageButterfly! I just had my first baby January 29th of 2008. I had an episotomy also. My husband and I stopped having sex the month before Reagan was born....and she just turned 3 months old and we still can't have sex! We have tried 3 times this past month. 1st, it's too dry...2nd, when we are "trying" it's beginning, and i feel like i'm being ripped apart. It's not tightness, it's just when we have sex. I don't know how much longer HE can take it! yeah, TMI, but we must be frank here...

also i just remembered...while most women, so i've heard, have more intense orgasms during sex while they are pregnant...i had none. not one...what's the deal with that? it was multiple before pregnancy...then none during...weird

babyclark...the same thing happened to my friend she is abot ready to pop anyday now and she used to be fine having sex, and she said now it's harder and harder for her to have an orgasim...
