I am almost 8 weeks postpartum. My husband and I started trying to ease into having sex about 5 weeks postpartum. I can not tell you how much it hurts! I had an episiotimy, and at my 6 week checkup, he said all was healed. We can have sex whenever and as often as we like. Easy for him to say.
I don't hurt from the insision, but rather from the inside. When he goes in, it feels like a grinding. And when he pulls out, it feels like he is pulling out my insides. And if he goes slow, I can feel, notch by notch, him pulling out. It really hurts!
My doctor said that my pelvic floor muscle was loose. And he showed my husband how to help me excersie it. But I'm really so scared now, to mess with anything down there, cause of the pain.
Has anyone gone through this, that can tell me how to solve this?
