maybe TMI re: sex
I'm scared to have sex ladies. I really don't know what to do about it....we've done it a total of two times since Austin was born and the 1st time it was pretty painful - the 2nd time not so bad, but I have been having some pain (on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst, probably a 3 or 4) "down below" where my granulation tissue was and where I tore - usually if I sit or lay a certain way...
Maybe I just need to give it a try and see how it goes 
Re: maybe TMI re: sex
My dear, when you fell off your bicycle, you were scared, but eventually you need to get back on.
I am sure it will only be temporary, but I bet it's one of those "you just need to get back into it" things and it will start getting easier for you.
Plus, one of us at least should be getting some. For real.
Lisa, I don't think we had sex for almost 5-6 months since I had so many issues with the delivery and healing. It's normal for the granulation tissue to take a while. I didn't even let my Dr. get through a session of cauterizing the area so I had to let it heal naturally, which it eventually did. Take your time, there is no rush, go slow and use something to make it a bit easier.
Sorry I haven't called you yet to chat, been busy w/ B and work and visitors here. We'll chat soon!
After my first pregnancy it took me a good six months before sex was "enjoyable" again. The healing process can take awhile and it is normal for that to happen!
I was lucky enough not to have that same problem the second time around but just so you know, it's very common and you don't need to feel bad about it. Your DH is just going to have to learn to be a patient man, if he hasn't learned that already having a child.
