Okay, so this is going to get a little bit personal. DH and I tried to DTD last night for the first time since DS was born. Now I don't know if it is because we haven't done it for awhile (probably since I was about 6 months preg) or if things are different down there, but it was really uncomfortable. The pressure on a certain point towards the back gave me the sensation of needing to go wee and the overall feeling was quite uncomfortable generally. The best way I can describe it is as a burning sensation, but that isn't really accurate because it wasn't what I'd think of if someone said it was burning sensation IYKWIM. DH also said that he thought when he pulled out a bit that the skin/flesh seemed looser or to move with him, but he couldn't really explain what he meant really well either...

I was induced after a hind water leak and got to about 7cm but DS was posterior and his head had gone in at a bad angle so that it was at the widest point. As a result I had to have an emergency CS after about 11 hours of labour (the last six or so which were with an epidural).

Now I had thought that because I hadn't given birth things would be much the same down there - is that generally the case? Or could things have been affected because I did get quite dilated? Or does it have to do with my pelvic floor being weaker (mind you they are pretty good cos I did my exercises all the way through my preg and still am)? Or could it be something to do with the catheter? Or is it just that we haven't done it for a long time and I'm a bit out of shape?

Anyway, I'm just wondering if others who have had CS's have had similar experiences when they DTD for the first time after...
