Sex ? For someone who had stitches ...

ok so my little one is 2 months I've healed when I went to my 6wk Dr appointment he didn't check me because nothing hurt well hubby and I had sex and well missionary was fine but we tried doggy style and from behind (no anal) & my god it was so painful like him just putting it in was painful and only handled 2 thrusts before I couldn't. Before I loved it and it was my favorite /: what's going on? Why?
*I had a second degree tear*

Sex can change permanently but at 2 months it might just be time you need. There are some positions that are no good for me anymore, and some are better.
^^to above poster, I had pain still (very minor) until I had my second, and that birth fixed heaps of things. Sex was better after that birth than pre-babies... So there's still hope!

I had to get stitches after having my daughter, till this day sex is not the same for me. Sex hurts so bad to the point where it will hurt for a couple hours after. Mind you my daughter is now 5 so I'm to the point where I think that sex will never be the same. I'm also afraid now too that after i have this baby it will get worse. I mention it to my ob all the time but all he says is nothing is the same after having a babyand that this time around it can be different. I don't think having another vaginal delivery will make it better lol but I hope your case is way different then mine.

Yea missionary was the only position we could do for awhile. But my husband didn't complain, at least he still got some! Try being ontop, sometimes it didn't hurt as bad. And use extra lubrication, that tends to help too. If you start bleeding or it remains painful for a few hours afterwards then I would definitley talk to your doctor just to be safe. But props to you for trying at 2 months, I was terrified it would hurt with my first and waited closer to 3 lol.

Your skin is sinsative and needs time. My daughter is 8 months old and it's still painful at times.

I had a third degree tear and sex hasn't been the same since. I would give it a few weeks and try multiple positions. If it doesn't get better I would go back to your OB and have them check you.
