Sex after c-section

[NaeNae]

For me it was painful for a good 2.5 months after my c-sec I think it had to do with the muscles etc that get cut and shifted during the procedure as well as the nerve endings. They'd still be recovering from the surgery and I am sure I have read somewhere on here (or in a book) that it actually takes your body 12 months to fully heal after C-sec.

Discuss it with your dr, but I'd wager a bet that you still have some swelling and may require a little more time.

Hoping you feel better soon

Thanks Nae, i never really thoguht about swelling and nerve endings, i just figured not having bub come out of that exit might mean DTD earlier would be ok. Thank you heaps.

Are you breastfeeding??? It took me over a year to have no pain and it was all linked to low estrogen from breastfeeding. I got some cream from the dr which I actually never used as it can cause milk supply to drop, and we just used a lot of lube and it eventually got better.

what Tanstar said, exactly the same situation, never used the cream, just lots and lots and lots of lube
