I've never given birth, so I can't help with the postpartum-specific issues. However, I thought I'd pass along my two cents on the scar tissue. I'm studying muscular therapy, and in my training I've heard a few different things about scar therapy. Scar tissue is thicker and rougher because one of the body's defenses against tearing is collagen. Cuts, broken bones, torn tendons and ligaments are filled with collagen during the healing process. Generally, after a cut heals, the tissue (in this case skin) is aligned in more of a clump than a flat sheet. There are forms of massage that you can learn to do yourself to soften scar tissue over time by working on the fibers to spread more evenly. MayoFascial Release is the form I'm most familiar with, and I've seen some pretty remarkable results from it. If you're comfortable with working on your vaginal walls, possibly even with the help of your partner, it might be something worth looking into.
