Postnatal relationships & sex

Sex still hurts.

Hi, I had a little boy four months ago, I had to hav stitches but they have healed well.M husband and I have tried to have sex a couple of times but it really hurts me. I have been to the doctors and she said everything is fine and it may just take time but I can't help but wonder.
Does anybody else experience pain or did have pain and how long did it take to calm down and disappear? Thank you

Four months is still quite recent, had stitches with my first two (80+) with the first and it was uncomfortable until about the 6 month stage. I had no stitches with my third and things are better. Don't know what contraception you're using but I found that being on the mini pill was making things uncomfortable for me if you're not using condoms how about trying KY jelly?
