During the last trimester with my 2nd child, my husband and I didn't have intercourse because I was so uncomfortable and awkward. After my c-section and the following 6 weeks, we finally got to it and it was completely painful. I felt like a virgin again (only I don't remember it being that painful the first time). 13 months later I was pregnant again and experienced the same thing. Our 3rd child is almost a year old and every time we have intercourse I have pain and sometimes bleeding from my perineum area. I am nervous to have sex anymore and we go for up to a week usually between sessions and I know that's probably making it worse. We normally have plenty of foreplay and use lubricated condoms but those things don't seem to help that much because it feels like a space limitation problem rather than a lubrication problem. Additionally, I am breastfeeding still (only had a three-month break between 2nd and 3rd children) so I don't know if it could be hormonal.
