I had this problem too, so its actually very common. It took me almost a year for it not to hurt anymore, because I was expecting it to hurt I would tense up and make it alot worse. Foreplay is key here, and have an understanding with your partner that no actual intercourse will happen until you're ready, so you can put that to the back of your mind.”

We had sex through out both of my pregnancies. After my son was born I had stitches so we had to wait which was difficult but we managed to resolve those issues. After my daughter was born we only waited 4-5 days as her birth was much easier.”
