I'm wondering how it might be after I have a baby. Does it still feel the same down there when you do it after having a kid? Do your partner notice a difference? Do you wish you would've gotton a c-section instead? Help!! I'm scared by not knowing for the future with my sex life.

As far as being as tight you should go completely back to normal. But you and your partner should prepare for a mellowed-out sex life for a while after the baby makes three especially during the 6 weeks after giving birth. You really need to give yourself to heal. Doing kegel excercises will also help tighten things up and you can also do them while you're having sex to get closer to your man. If you are planning to nurse (which would be awesome if you were but it's not for everyone) know that a lot of women experience vaginal dryness and sensitivity because of a thinner uterine wall while nursing due to hormones. Plenty of KY can help you out with that. My guess is if your sex life has been great during your pregnancy it will get back to normal in no time after you have the baby. Just prepare for some set-backs such as too tired, dryness, and lots of tiredness. : ) I think the least you have to worry about is stretching out.

I had a baby in August and every thing seems to be very normal I learned in my antenatal classes that the vagina and perinium are made to stretch and although most people need stitches after birth ( I did) evrything goes back to normal and you sex life will be just fine. You will be a bit sore afterwards and the experts say no intercourse for six weeks after birth to let everything heal properly. I hope that helps you a bit and by the way most men love thier "yummy mummy" girlfriends lol

It feels the same for me. All I know is that after you have a baby, you wait 6 weeks, and during that time, your muscles tighten back up again and it is the same as it was before, regardless of how many children you have had. But definitely wait the 6 weeks, any sooner may be painful, but your doctor will tell you when it is ok for sure.

You'll be sore for a bit and won't want to and the doctor will probably tell you to wait six weeks, but with a few kegals and a little sleep you find that sex is still a wonderful thing!!

If you're already pregnant this might have been something to consider ahead of time, no? Since you're already in the midst of this though, yes it does feel the same and he says that sometimes it feels better...It's a totally different type of intimacy now, you takme it when you can, its almost like being 15 again, you never know when you're mom will walk in, or in this case, the baby will cry...good luck...don't forget to get the epidural...best part of my delivery....next to my baby of course!

for my husband and i nothing has changed. i have had 2 children and we both still enjoy it just as well as before. the only thing that i recommend is to definatly wait as long as the doctor tells u to dont jump the gun because it will hurt, but also practice the kegal exercises that we all hear about. they do wonders trust me after waiting the two weeks or more with those exercises he will never notice a thing except maybe that ur tighter

It feels really sore for a little while so you may find you don't feel like having sex until you heal up.
But as long as you do your pelvic floor exercises you should 'tighten up' pretty much back to how you were before.
I'm glad I didn't have to have a c-section.

Things change a little I suppose, nothing to worry about however. The soreness is temporary.
Lack of sleep and the child who learns to walk and sneaks into your bedroom is more of a challenge to sex.

I have had two children and my boyfriend said it feels the same. It doesn't feel any different to me. If you rip and the have to sew it , it does take longer to heal and my feel a bit different but more than likely no.

you are going to feel insecure about yourself and that's very normal, but understand that nature has a funny way of working and it is going to fell the same and look the same as it always has..( it may take six weeks to go back but it WILL). you will never have known you were ever pregnant!
