err.. relations [totally TMI]

lack of lube?   I wouldnt let it put you off but maybe try again with HEAPS and HEAPS of lube!!! 

lol there was plenty of lube :P I know what you mean Tara, sucks when you get that burst of crazy hormones and your body isnt quite ready for it yet!

If you are still having probs mention it to your MW. It is often a bit uncomfy but it shouldnt be so sore that it stops you doing it.

It took me until about 10 weeks before I was lubricated enough for it to feel like it wasn't the 'first time' again. (and Rowan didn't even exit that way!). It's definitely hormones to blame and it will come right. Just take it slow - don't get too down on yourself.

I can't really help, as "relations" *giggle* are still painful for me I have to go see a specialist because it's still inflamed and stuff down there. But I just wanted to give you a hug I totally know how you feel. Especially after feeling totally gross throughout my whole pregnancy, I really love being able to have special cuddles again, but it totally puts a damper on things when you can't really enjoy it properly It sucks!!

Hope that you manage to sort it out, maybe you could try a different lube?

All ican say is man your game!!! After josh exited from that er region DP wasnt allowed in a 1m radius of my vajayjay for probably the first 3 months then for his sake we gave it go then that was it for another couple of weeks before we did it again. He could probably count on 1 hand (and tell you exact times and date) of the few times i have let him go there. It still hurts a little but its getting better i think in part its just in my head now.

Lube definately played a big part for us. Still didnt help the burning, time only took care of that. Each time, we would wait a couple of days to a week and then try again. Gradually the burning disappeared. Found out my burning was due to abrasions (scrapes) inside of me due to baby being born. They did gradually disappear as the abrasions healed up. Just give yourself time inbetween each "relation" to continue healing.

Its bad enough trying to get your head around "relations" so soon after baby is born let alone this.

Oh dear! Sorry had a wee chuckle!!
Is the burning from skin stretching or just a burning sensaion from the um,,,, friction?
I remember after Alex & Blaire I was quite "tight" down there which I put down to the fact that they wee c-section babies & the body's natural response was to tighten everything up after giving birth but because they didn't come out that way it was just supertight..... The tight burning feeling disappeared after a few goes.
Didn't have that problem this time & when we got back into "relations" (after just over a week!) it was just like normal
