I had my post-delivery check-up today, and I got the okay to have sex. I'm glad I'm healed, but I am terrified to have sex. I enjoy sex very much, but considering the pain I felt after having a 7 lb 11 oz. baby rip me apart, I am less than excited to have something intruding in my newly renovated downstairs. Not only am I worried that it will be uncomfortable, I'm also scared that my vagina is now tailored a bit larger than I would like. Hopefully the stitches were pulled tight enough. I also have to worry about leaking boobs and a trickling bladder. If my bladder leaks when I'm jumping up and down in jazzercise classes, can't it leak during sex? Shoot, one more thing I forgot to ask. I did ask about that little leak because I do not want to have to worry about peeing on myself for the rest of my life. The doc said my bladder isn't that relaxed, so it should snap back to normal soon with regular kegels. Uggghhh - the things people don't tell you before you give birth.

Anyway, I know my husband is looking forward to tonight. I'm hoping a bottle of wine and some lubricant will make this somewhat enjoyable.
