non painful sex after baby?

[iterative-steps.livejournal.com]

This question is for you ladies that have had babies or know about the aftermath :).

I had my adorable little girl two months ago. 19 hours of labor and 30 minutes of pushing. I ended up with a tiny tear, but it was so small I didn't need stitches. Now, because of all that trauma, I have been a little nervous about having sex with my husband. Well, we've done it about 3 times and the last two times I've ended up bleeding after wards. Not like a period, but like "things" were stretched a little too far. It hasn't been very comfortable and it hasn't even been rough sex. Do I have to wait longer for it to feel better? We've been using lube and it still feels like a tree branch poking a jellyfish. Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance!

I was single after my son was born, so I didn't have sex for awhile after his birth, maybe 5 months. Sex wasn't painful at all at that point. So, maybe you just need some extra healing time to feel more comfortable. :)
