Hahaha I think it depends on what's the damage down there. Like if you had any tearing etc. I had a normal vaginal birth, with a really small tear on the inside, one stitch. No episiotomy. My hubs kept trying to initiate intimacy at like 3-4 weeks PP and I had this fear of it hurting too, and i was right haha. It hurt really badly, like a sharp pain and i kicked him off. It continued to hurt even after my 6 week check, but I learned that the pain is because I was really dry down there. I didnt hurt as much if there was lube. we kept on trying and eventually it stopped hurting. I am 5 months PP now and am completely back to normal haha. You can always start off slow. Use lube if you have to and adjust accordingly :)
