During delivery i had a 2nd degree tear... my gorgeous baby girl is 5 months old now and me and my partner hav still not had full sex.. its extremely painfull im afraid there is something more seriously wrong?? The midwife said i had unusually thin muscles where she put the stitches in ??? could this be the problem?? Hope someone understands??

Dear Debbie
sorry this is so late after your posting. I have a 3rd degree tear... If you're still suffering visit your GP and get a referral to a obgyn consultant. Sometimes your scar needs re-doing (common apparently), it may all need stretching and hormonal cream may help. I found out mine was granular and not repairable but at least sex is ok now - some positions are still not possible (6 years later) and I can't ride a bike. But I do feel better about things now. Don't suffer in silence!
Best wishes
