Post partum sex painful and slight brown discharge after?

Finally dared to be intimate more than 5 months but it was painful though. And is it normal to have slight brown discharge/bleeding after that? Used lubrication too since I’m still breastfeeding and quite dry..

Congratulations on taking the step to be intimate again after giving birth! It's completely normal to experience some pain during sex postpartum, especially if you're breastfeeding and experiencing dryness. Using lubrication was a great idea, as it can really help with any discomfort. As for the slight brown discharge/bleeding afterward, this is also quite common, especially if it's your first time being intimate since giving birth. It could be due to the healing process of your body, and the hormonal changes that come with breastfeeding. However, if the bleeding persists or becomes heavier, it's best to check in with your healthcare provider just to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, make sure to communicate openly with your partner about any discomfort you may be feeling, and take things slow. Your body has been through a lot, so be gentle with yourself. And remember, every woman's postpartum experience is different, so don't hesitate to seek support from other moms or a healthcare professional if needed. You're doing great! https://invl.io/cll6she
