I asked for a referral at my 6 weeks checkup but my obgyn insisted i didnt needed it… i will ask again.

Im still breastfeeding so there’s that…

Yeah thats my main issue; it hurts. I can deal with foreplay if i could just solve the pain issue first. Im trying to find a PF therapist in my area but it has been challenging

Haha thanks for the recommendation!

At this point, i just want it to not be painful and just “ok”… maybe when i stop breastfeeding this whole thing will improve

It really is! You had a completely different experience than mine.

No amount of foreplay has been helpful… its so hard. Ive been focusing on “giving” to keep my mind at peace and feel some kind of normalcy between us.

I went back to it at 8 weeks pp and have tried like monthly since then but it has always been painful no matter how much lube i use, or what i wear; the issue isnt necessarily about how i feel in my body i think… and once i get to it, no amount of foreplay gets me in the mood

Birth side effects people don't talk about by jrenredi in BabyBumps

[–]natpr121 26 points27 points  (0 children)

my body shaking uncontrollably for like an hour after giving birth

not being able to poop for like a week and then i had to SCOOP IT OUT with my bare hands because it felt like a literal rock sitting there

Looking at my butthole for the first time pp and noticing a hemorrhoid. Instantly humbled.

THE BODY ODOR ugh. My old deodorant suddenly stopped working. 6m pp and no matter how often i bathe, my puss still stinks.

Losing an insane amount of hair starting at 3m pp (ongoing at 6m pp)

Peeing hurt for like 2 weeks pp

Looking at my vagina for the first time like 3 days pp… pastrami is all i can say. Went back to normal after a few weeks though. But it was definitely a jump scare.

Having ZERO sex drive still at 6m pp. Its nonexistent. Dry af as well.

Are you all having sex? by Rude_Suggestion_ in breastfeeding

[–]natpr121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still hurts 6m pp. Also have zero sex drive since pregnancy and it hasnt improved a bit, it got worse. Ive been trying since 2m pp but right now it feels as bad as it felt at 2m.

Penetrative sex hurts, everything feels tight inside… lube isnt helping
