Tear trauma
If you had a third degree tear, how did you get past the fear of having sex afterwords? I really want to but I’m so scared even though I’ve been to the gynaecologist this week and she said everything looks really good down there

Take it steady, lots of lube and make sure you feel ready and in the mood. I had an episiotomy with my first and my stitches burst so it took a good 12 weeks to heal so I know how you feel x
I had a 2nd degree tear, episiotomy and a cervical with my first. So I know how you feel. Take it easy, try when you're relaxed, use lube and don't expect much as first few times it probably won't be enjoyable.

Have a few glasses of wine and take it slow, remind yourself if it’s sore there’s no pressure to carry on!
