Feelings after birth

[NewMummyofLittleGirl]

I hope i am posting this in the right area.

just had a question for everone. i am a very private person, i have only been with my husband and only had one female doc do pap smears. i gave birth to my first child just over 8 weeks ago, it was a great birth, everyone was kind, supportive and didnt go down there unnecessarily. i gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. but ever since giving birth even thinking about being intermit with my husband i think about the birth and the fact that my baby caame out of there and it recks the mood. my husband is very supportive and knows how i feel, but i guess my question is, has anyone else felt like this and if so how long did it last?

I didn't feel like that, but did have a caesar so was really scared about dtd. It took me about 4 months to even feel like I could consider it (poor dh) - I was just scared it would hurt.

When we eventually did start again, I realised it was ok, it didn't hurt, I didn't need to worry - and once I got out of my own head, it was really lovely to reconnect and feel like my body was my own again. Good luck!
