DTD...nervous

[Lulabell]

Ok, well josh was born 20th Jan this year and hubby n I haven't dtd since 2 weeks before josh was born. I'm just really nervous. I'm scared it's going to hurt, or that it's not going to feel the same for him or me, and I really don't like my body right now. Due to thyroid problems which I was diagnosed with after josh turned 6 months,my weight has ballooned.

Does anyone else feel like this? How has dtd been for you post pregnancy? Am. Just being silly? We want another baby at some point so will have to overcome this fear I guess.

Hey hun I'm the same, Gracie was born on the 28th Jan and we haven't dtd properly since either. It's too painful for me! I went to the gp about it and they said it could be psychological but are sending me to see a gynecologist to rule out anything else. But yes I know how you feel, my weight ballooned through pregnancy and I'm covered in stretch marks so took a lot of courage to try, I was actually kinda glad it was painful so I didn't have to stay naked lol! xx

I was like this after having DD.
My answer to it probably isnt the most sensible or productive, but I got really drunk so I was more relaxed about it.
After that I was fine,lol!
Sorry I cant suggest anything better.

Its probably your confidence hun that needs boosting. Maybe wear something you feel comfortable and sexy in, take it slow and get some lube(although i didnt need it)
It was slightly uncomfortable in the beginning but went away quickly

Exactly what I did
I was really nervous and had heard horror stories about it being painful but (from what I remember!) it was nothing like that. I waited 8 weeks before dtd (I was bleeding for 6 of those though!) and it didn't hurt at all, it was just the same as before. Go for it!

I felt exactly the same and it was painful at first- if u r bf use lots of lube, coz ur hormones mean u dont get as lubricated naturally as u normally would!.....It took a while but its fine now, especially since I stopped bf. I felt the same about my body, so I bought a nice silky nightie which made me feel better. I am still self conscious now, coz of stretch marks and how my tummy is, but OH has been lovely and really doesnt seem to care......u get past it bit by bit......it'll b fine hun, just try and relax coz tensing up worrying can make it hurt more! Good luck and enjoy
