I had a 3rd deg internal tear after DD's birth and whenever we DTD (we waited til she was 8wks first!!) it was uncomfortable. Wasnt' until she was 6mths that it felt totally normal again down there!!

Doing #2's etc always felt quite normal though so i was lucky in that way.

I'm interested in hearing stories with subsequent births though as I'm so scared of tearing badly again!! i felt it all too as i never had any pain relief. OUCH.
