[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did it after the 6 week checkup. I was nervous and I made my husband promise to be gentle. It was fine, we resumed regular sex but I didn’t particularly enjoy it for a few months. It didn’t hurt, but I felt uncomfortable. [/quote]

This is really sad and makes me angry at your husband.[/quote]
My husband wasn’t pushing for it, lots of assumptions here. I really wanted to do it, but I was anxious. I disliked having sex while pregnant and I found that I quickly felt more like myself after giving birth. I didn’t tell my husband that I didn’t enjoy it because I felt like it was psychological, not physical. He knew that it was different than before childbirth and was really slow and careful, like I asked. I had a difficult time relaxing for some time, which makes my muscles tense up. I wanted to continue doing it because having a healthy sex life is important to me, and I didn’t think anything other than “getting back on the horse” would help. I had a relatively easy birth with very minimal pushing, no forceps or vacuum, and a small second degree tear, so I was lucky. I didn’t feel like there were physical reasons not to keep trying. For what it’s worth, our sex life is just as active as it was before our daughter was born and I do enjoy it just as much. [/quote]
