I have heard that giving natural birth damages the vigianal tissue and having sex will never be the same because of this damaged nerves, is this true, and what kind of birth will you suggest, if you want to keep your sex life healthy and regain your figure.

I think there may be some truth to that statement. The cause is the episiotomy (cut by a doctor to prevent tearing during birth) or the tear itself if that happens. Things usually aren't bad if the doctor puts in enough stitches. I would talk to your doctor about that and what their practices are. Some people wait until you start to tear before cutting... you would much prefer a clean cut that will heal faster than a nasty tear. After two kids I don't think things are as great as before but you adjust. I wouldn't have a c-section to prevent it.

Well, I had 7 children (2 being twins), and they were all born naturally. My figure always came back to the way it was and I have had no problems with my sex life. I am 39 and not much has changed. Have natural birth. It will not harm you at all. God would not have made women have children this way if it would be damaging. What does damage nerves and tissues is C-sections. My daughter had one and has a permanent scar and damaged muscles.

I have never heard anything like that and I wouldn't be worried about it. Some people claim that sex is better (when they are able to) after having a baby. I am 17 weeks pregnant and can't tell you by experience yet. Also if you are worried about keeping your figure many studies have shown that breastfeeding will help you lose the baby fat faster and will help things go back into porportion faster. Good Luck!

Women have given birth vaginally for centuries and this hasn't been a big issue... I had my son naturally and actually tore a few cm and it is fine I still enjoy my sex life even more that before.. And if your thinking of your figure... Go naturally with c sections you are usually laid up for a while with recooping.... And they say its harder to get the baby weight off with csections but I can't say for sure my best friend had a csection and it only took her a few more months than me to get the weight off....

Natural birth did not affect my sex life at all. Its alot better than having a C section.

Gurrrrrrrrrrrl...
Your kid is gonna TEAR YOU UP!!
Damage can occur during birth, although minor. But you're gonna be loose as hell...
The good news is that it will all heal. When the pain dies down, start to squeeze your pooch tight and then relax. Do some more clenches (about 10 min. everyday) & don't have sex untill you "feel" ready... or when you get tighter. Whatever comes 1st.
Good Luck w/ Your Pooch

I've had two children naturally and I still enjoy sex very much. Maybe its different for different people, but as far as I know, you heal normally, and sex is still great.
Good luck in your pregnancy. Remember, natural birth is best for the baby. (However, a little painkiller doesn't hurt.)

umm you can tear during vaginal birth, and the doc can sew you up to tight or to loose. but most doctors do a an excellent job. normally you will enjoy sex just as much. and if you are worried about your figure a c sect leaves a nice little scar.

I have had one both ways and I don't think it changes anything, however vaginal delivery is easier to recover from i think. Plus if you want your figure back thats the way to go. by having a c-section they pretty much cut through you, its pain free until the after part but it is hard to get back to normal after that, it has been two and half years for me and i still have a "pouch"

No, i don't think so. You can still have normal sex life with your partner. Nature birth is best of all!
