Ok to all the ladies who have had vaginal births... Is there really a difference in the way you feel or sex feels after u have a baby?? I know that changes occur but are they that dramatic? Anyhow I just got done babysitting for a single mom of 3 who was giving me some advice on child birth and raising and so on and she scared the hell out of me when she said how much she has changed down there. Lol she said that she was 21 when she had her 1st son cody and that her and her bf had sex 5 weeks after the baby was born and when they were done he told her she felt like the grand canyon ! How disrespectful!!! Grrrrrr. Just curious since I am gonna have my first. I used to be curious as to what labor and such felt like and now im terrified! I have a very low tolerence for pain. Thanks to all those who post. ~ erica.

Its a lot different! Right after having a baby, the first 3 or 4 months I had hardly any feeling because I was still going back to normal, but after a few months and “tightening” exercises I felt the “goods” again! Lol of course nothing will be the same, but who says change is bad? You just have to learn a few good tricks!

Thanks, actually I didn't have sex after having camden at least not until I dated dayton and yvonna's dad and that was about 3 years later, so I don't know! Lol

I had a csection as you all know, but what I did hear from fathers of babies (of course) is that it actually tightens to feel like a "virgin"...But I dont kow how true that is..I guess it depends to how fast your cervix closes.
