I wrote this after winning the July #BISS competition, it is extremely personal but I think it is important to share our experiences.

Lots of links also can be made with sex after hysterectomy as that is also scary. Thank you for linking up your story to #ablogginggoodtime 🎉

I love the honesty in your article, I’m glad that we are becoming a society where we can talk freely about these things-it’s so important. I didn’t have a C-section with either of my children, so I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like to have the pain from the scar for such a long time, and have concerns about the weight of someone on top of me, and what that might do. I do relate to the concerns about the saggy, overhanging tummy, and my boobs being looked at differently, now they had a different purpose-to be honest, 3 years down the line, and those concerns have not gone away. I think sex will always be different after children, I suppose it comes down to overlooking the changes, and embracing it how it is now, which is actually very difficult!

I had an emergency c-section first time around and we waited quite a while afterwards…i remember being surprised that it was pretty uncomfortable. Second time around, vaginal birth, we did the deed at 6 weeks because i knew the doctor was going to ask about it at my 6 week check!

Great post, I think things like this aren’t talked about enough. I know a few new mums that were back to having sex after three weeks whereas I waited around five months due to a traumatic birth. It is such a large part of a relationship that it is horrible to feel so uncomfortable about it. #KCACOLS

It’s such a personal thing isn’t it, different for each one of us. It’s also good to know that you’re not the only new Mum with these thoughts, worries and stresses. Thanks for sharing. #ablogginggoodtime

I can completely sympathise! I also had two emergency c-section. My sex drive has taken a proper dive after them and even now, over a year since the second one I can’t quite get back to it! #KCACOLS

Such an honest and important post that many wouldn’t have the courage to write about. It will also help those who are due to have C-sections. #KCACOLS

A lovely honest piece of writing. I’m 7 months in after having a c-section and still don’t feel right in that area. My husband for want of a better word was ‘gagging’ for it after I had our baby girl as we had to stay off sex for my pregnancy. It was 2 months after the c-section that we tried again.
Congrats on winning #BISS xx

Great article. I didn’t have a c section with my five but I can relate to a lot of it. I think sex after childbirth is scary full stop! Very brave, informative post.
