Hi everyone, my baby is now 7 months old, and obviously... I am having sex again now. The only thing I really find different is that it sometimes is uncomfortable when my husband's penis hits my cervix.. at least I think that is what it is. It is not happening everytime, or the whole time, if it does happen. I am just wondering if it is any reason to be concerned, or if anyone else is experiencing this too?

I experienced this myself after my first baby. Don't worry, it goes away after awhile, it's not a permenant thing!
it's not? i thought that by now it would be all back to normal. was it just once in a while with you too?
and how long were anyone who had perenial stitiches, sore during sex? mine still feels "different".. not painful, but there is something.
After 4 kids I can attest to feeling "different" Although I felt most comfortable after baby number 1. (and I had perenial stitches) Baby number 2 was actually about a year before it felt "normal". I can only say it doesen't last forever. I reccommend taking it slow, lots of foreplay, massage, anything that relaxes you completely. And don't be afraid to share that with your mate. They will understand, or go without1 lol
yes he knows lol.
i find that lots of foreplay works, and when there is lots, there is no discomfort. i just dont recall that being an issue before children. so you are all saying it goes away? anyone know what causes it? i mean. is it a result of the "canal" getting shorter because it got wider? if you know what i mean.
I didn't have pain with the cervix, but I had lots of pain with intercourse because of the way hormones changed me. If I don't get enough foreplay and become very aroused and lubed, then it feels like I am having intercourse with a butcher knife. No joke. It's been three years since the birth of my son (my one and only child) and I still have the problem if I just rush into getting it on. Not to discourage you or anything, but I doubt many of us women go back to "normal" after child birth. So much changes, I can't imagine how it could. Just speak with your Dr. for sure about tips and suggestions. Also, ASTROGLIDE is the BEST lube I have ever ever used, and I have tested many in efforts to find the right one!
it does go away, it just takes awhile.
My Dr told me that it takes a year fr your body to get back to normal...well as close to normal as it can get...lol
I had this too. Dr. gave me some estradiol intra vaginal pills that helped but after a while i would forget to take them and everything went away so honestly don't know if it was the pills or time???
Pain is usually causeed by weak pelvic muscles (do kegels), change in hormones which makes vaginal wall/cervix thin and more painful during intercourse. Solution-what others said, lots of foreplay and lube!! Things change after babies, especially the more you have, and usually these things are 'normal' (joy!) but if it persists mention it to a doctor or a gynecologist!! Better to be told everything is normal than to ignore it and something bad be going on!
