BTDT Moms: Is sex ever the same after giving birth?
Do you really heal 100% after giving birth? Is sex the same?
I feel like I am never going to want to have sex again after going through the trauma of birth. I can't imagine everything going back to normal.
Anyone else concerned about this?

I was thinking about this the other day. I hope it does go back to normal.

Yes, it goes back to normal pretty soon after. By the 6 week check up everything was good

Re: BTDT Moms: Is sex ever the same after giving birth?
I had no problems and I have two kids. It might be better because I am actually more comfortable with myself. I'm not sure how your DH's might feel after watching childbirth:)

Re: BTDT Moms: Is sex ever the same after giving birth?
I am only going to speak from my own experience, but for me it took a long time and at times its still feels different. I had a very large episiotomy, My DS was 10lbs, I also needed the suction thing (I don't remember the correct name of it) to get him out. So I was hurting down there for a while. Internally I don't feel different, still great, but external I am still a bit sensitive. Sorry for TMI, but if I'm the least bit dry, I'm in a bit of pain.
Hope I didn't scare anyone...Remember everyone is different, has different deliveries and heals differently so don't worry.

Re: BTDT Moms: Is sex ever the same after giving birth?
Im not gonna lie- it took a while after my first for things to be "normal"again.
With my second- i think he put an extra stitch in or something- it was better than before!

I also heard that as long as you remain active in your 3rd trimester it will help prevent your baby from coming late. Unfortunately, as much as I tell DH this, the whole thought of it completely freaks him out because the baby is so big now. Honestly, I'm not completely bummed because frankly I have ZERO desire to do anything in that bed but  !

Everything is normal here. HOWEVER, the number of times NEVER went back to normal! We are both too exhausted all the time!

Re: BTDT Moms: Is sex ever the same after giving birth?
I had a C-section so it's like nothing ever happened. All is the same "down there". Maybe it would be different though if I delivered vaginally.

I feel so uncomfortable that I have no desire to BD. DH also feels like the baby is a third wheel. haha

My husband said it was better than before. He wanted to send my OB/GYN a present. I think it had been too long and he forgot what it was like

See? I'M ALL FOR IT...it's DH!
I can't get him to touch me with a 10 ft pole 
I think he's freaked out or turned off by my belly and just not telling me.
It's not helping my self-esteem I tell ya!
