Sex, Painful

After my baby was born, sex has been painful. How did you cope with this?     

Our Mommy MD Guide’s reply: After my daughters were born, I noticed decreased vaginal lubrication, which makes intercourse difficult. I began to use Valera, which is a USDA organic certified, nonhormonal vaginal lubricant and moisturizer that I developed for my patients who experience vaginal dryness and don’t have many options.
