It’s one of those things that women don’t want to think about right after giving birth and also a little scary. I’ve been there and I’m going to tell you 7 Things You Want to Know About Sex After Having a Baby. Me personally gave birth vaginally and required 2 little stitches internally. The doctor made it seem harmless but what she didn’t tell me is how that scar tissue was going to feel the first time I got intimate… Ouch… Yes it was slightly painful at first but with a little patience and generous amount of lube, made sex great again!
Take Your Time…
- First of all, you want to get approval from your doctor. Normally this is around 6 weeks time and that’s if you gave birth vaginally with minimal tears. I can’t speak for those who’ve had a c-section but my sister has and from my understanding its a longer healing process.
- Be patient with yourself, even if you get a pass from your doctor doesn’t mean you are mentally ready. That’s ok, I know its a process so take it slow just because you’re not ready for sex doesn’t mean you indulge in a little foreplay.
- Be honest, if you’re still in pain take it easy and slow down the pace, use lube such as KY-Jelly. When you’re breastfeeding you have a tendency to be a bit dry down below.
- If you got stitches, massage, massage, massage! Believe me, you will feel the scar tissue when you have sex. I thought it would go away but it didn’t. I did a little research and with google, I found my remedy… A pea-sized amount of Aquaphor and massaged my scar tissue daily made lovemaking so much better.
Do You Feel Sexy?
5. Learn to love your New Body! You just spent the last 9 months creating this beautiful being, so embrace those Gorgeous Curves you have been blessed with. I struggled with this myself, leaky boobs and a fluffy tummy doesn’t exactly make me feel sexy. Laugh it off, your partner should be understanding and support you through these transitional months.
6. Dress it up Doll… Theres nothing that a little Victorias Secret can’t fix. Go treat yourself to a new bra and lingerie that’ll make you feel Sexy again. Wear it around the house, just because…
7. Don’t Stress, Unwind with some relaxing music and a bottle of wine or your drink of choice. There’s nothing more special than reconnecting with your partner. Make it special, as much as you and your body have been through you two deserve that intimate moment in time for complete satisfaction.
Listen to your body and your needs. The first couple of months after the baby comes is a balancing act. Finding yourself again takes some time but I will reassure you and say that it doesn’t last forever. Take Care Mamas!
