    Hey hon, Id stick to a vaginal birth. I have never had a c-section but I don't envy those women one little bit. I had a 3rd degree tear and sometimes when I sit it does still feel a little tender if the perineum pulls a little. I think around the 5-6 week was when I was feeling much less sensitive. Like you though I was wondering if I was ever going to feel ok again! I know 4 weeks feels like a life time when you are so sore but it will get better. At my 6 week post natal appointment the Dr asked if we were back having sex yet.... I just looked at him stupidly!
    Big , hope you're feeling much better soon.
