So after such a traumatic labor I went through, I have a low sex drive and it's been almost three months after Dean was born. My husband is getting frustrated that he can't touch me without me being uncomfortable or in pain. We tried having sex two weeks ago but I had to stop. I feel the way they stitched my vagina back up is preventing me from being intimate with my husband. Along with the anxiety I have from when forceps were shoved inside me wrong three times during labor and I'm just not ready. But he feels like I'm neglecting him. Because when we have alone times I want to sleep or clean. I'm more annoyed because I want him to understand I am not ready, physically and mentally.
I've been feeling the same for over a year now. I know how u r feeling. I pray he can understand your emotions my ex didn't understand until now. I was cut and had to deliver my bday during a c-section. So I was hurting every angle. I hope he can understand.
Poor thing, i pray he comes to understand. Its not easy to have our bodies treated that way and to just be able and bounce back is out of the question. My previous pregnancy before my son i lost the baby they had to give me a d&c while i was awake. They didnt numb me all the way i felt everything! Including the focing of my cervix opening and them succtioning etc i wont go into further detail. Point is we need to be able to be intimate again in our own timing. He needs to understand your not purposely avoiding pleasing him. You have a small amount of ptsd and still some discomfort
