Sex after c-section

[Bella29]

I had a stinging pain almost like there was a constriction in my vagina. Even lube didn't work for a long time. I know alot of girl who have had c/s who have experienced the same. My theory was that the vagina is intended to be stretched out and then is programmed to shrink again. So if you don't get stretched with a vaginal birth, but you are still programmed to shrink does it cause a constriction? Anyway that is just the theory I have. Mostly because the issues seem to be mostly for the c/s girls iykwim? Anyway good luck. We just used patience and gentleness to fix the problem but it took awhile.

Hmmm, I've never heard of this. Will be something to think about if I don't get my VBAC.
We DTD (was a little uncomfy the first time, but then it was fine) after only 6 days. My hormones were MAD!!!
But I had nearly no pain after c/s.
