Anyone else finding sex too painful to stand for more than a couple of minutes?

Hey!:) so I went to the doctor about the same issue, c section and all the above, healed well, waited but it was too painful to do it to be honest. The doctor told me that because I’m exclusively breast feeding it can cause a tightness/dryness that can make it very uncomfortable/painful to have sex. She said there isn’t really a solution until I stop breast feeding and it should naturally get better (but she strongly encouraged to continue breast feeding as for all the obvious benefits for the baby). Personally definitely not giving up breast feeding until my baby is a year old so my boyfriends not going to have as fun a year 😂
The more sex you have the less painful it becomes, I had sex at 6 weeks pp and it was agony, then tried again at 8 weeks and was still uncomfortable but not exactly painful, then we've tried once a week since, the weekend just gone we managed to have the best sex we've had since before I was pregnant, absolutely no pain whatsoever at 14 weeks pp, I also had a C-section xx
@Nikita are you breastfeeding too?
No hun
You’re not alone, I’m having the exact same thing, and also had a c-section. Hoping someone has the answer on here 🤞🏻
