Would my first postnatal sex be painful?

There are instances of course that postnatal sex is not really advised especially if there is still lochia bleeding or at least before the episiotomy or Caesar scar has fully healed. In terms of positions, woman-on-tip is a more comfortable one. Due to the oxytocin released in your bloodstream from love-making, in the first weeks your boobs may leak milk. Especially if you’re breastfeeding, due to the drop in oestrogen, you are going to need lubrication. If painful sex is not gradually decreasing three-plus months after giving birth, you should discuss it with your GP even at just 8 weeks after childbirth, and have the sore area looked at.
