Personal (TMI) question for those who had...

a vaginal birth. Ever since I got PG I wondered this. I ended up with a c/s so obviously I never got my answer. Is sex different after a vaginal birth? Do things um, change, down there? Does it make a difference whether or not you tore or got an episiotomy?

For me the first few times afterwards did feel different, like my episiotomy was going to tear open (sorry if TMI). It gets better thank god.

Agreed Chat Icon . After 3 vaginal births all which required a stitich or 2 or 3, I feared about being to loose , but it is quite the opposite!! Chat Icon

In the beginning it was different - more information that you really ever want to know --- but there is a "dryness" issue for the first few months. Not sure if this is everyone or just V-births. Both with an episiotomy and a tear, nothing was different.

After that, back to normal.

I had an episiotomy and I didnt have any issues after it healed. Felt the same as before. My husband had to take a "peek" down there to make sure it was all healed up! After watching me give birth I guess he was a little traumatized the first time he was gonna "GO BACK IN".... Chat Icon Chat Icon MEN!!!!!!Chat Icon

It was a few weeks to heal. Usually you are given the go ahead at 4-6 weeks. Many people are still bleeding (not a lot) at 4 weeks.

Re: Personal (TMI) question for those who had...

in my experience....I tore slightly...the Dr said it would have been the same had she cut me. There are certain positions in which friction irritates my scar.

According to DH....his "fear" of sex being different is null and void....he says it doesn't "feel" different at all. From my point of view.....some "things" are easier and sex seems to be better (when we do have it!)

Same here although sometimes where I tore is very sensitive...I just power through though and it gets better Chat Icon
The whole "stretched out" saying is total BS, I was the total other extreme afterwards.

Re: Personal (TMI) question for those who had...

it hurt the first time becase i thought i was going to rip again. i was cut and then tore so i was stiched from front to back. i was very uncomfortable the first time but it did get better and i was able to relaxand not worried about ripping again.
