Pain After Sex During Pregnancy...
Sorry if this is too much information, but has anyone else experienced an achey, throbbing feeling right down low (the vagina basically) after sex whilst pregnant? I don't mean in the actual birth canal, but the entire external region- outer labia, perenium etc. Kinda like period pain. For me it starts about 10 mins after sex, and lasts for about 3 or 4 hours. I know there is increased blood flow down there when you are pregnant, and when I stand for long periods I experience the same aching sensation but milder.
Last time after we DTD it was so unpleasant, I had to lie down with my pelvis raised to nullify the throbbing. Its really putting me off DTD again.....:redface:
The thing is - I don't remember it being this extreme during my first pregnancy - could it be that the increased blood flow to the vagina is heightening past trauma to the area from my first birth perhaps?? I mean, it wasn't that long ago.....
