But it becomes a totally different ballgame after giving birth.<\/p>\n<p>Now one influencer shared the realities of sex after labour in a candid Instagram post. Posting to her 698,000 followers, Chessie King spilled the beans on her experience.<br \/>\nShe welcomed her daughter Auraelia \u2013 or Rae \u2013 in 2021 with her now-husband Mathew Lewis-Carter. The couple had to change their wedding date three times during Co vid.<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 790px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-10276-1\" width=\"790\" height=\"1404\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1714865208618.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1714865208618.mp4\">https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1714865208618.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><br \/>\nThen somewhere in-between those dates, their daughter was born via C-section. Now years on, Chessie revealed the reality of getting back into the sack with her man.<\/p>\n<p>In the post, she wrote: &#8220;What&#8217;s the worst thing you&#8217;ve said to your partner when you&#8217;ve not wanted sex? Even if it is only two minutes out of your day?!<br \/>\n&#8220;On the day of my caesarean, before we&#8217;d even met Auraelia, a lovely midwife asked us what contraception we were planning to use when we got back home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I also told Mat when she left they also ask what position we conceived her in as that determined which way round she was so they knew before operating.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sex was genuinely number 123 on my list of 124 things in the first 2 months. I couldn&#8217;t even change my own giant pillow pads in my pants myself let alone contort my body into any page of the Kama Sutra.&#8221;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0_INSTAGRAM-240x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10279\" \/><br \/>\nChessie told how the couple tried at 7 weeks and the day after she got the sign off, she thought it was time. But she couldn&#8217;t be more wrong.<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;I thought I was ready but I was absolutely not. There&#8217;s nothing more sexy than hearing &#8216;I can&#8217;t do it, you feel like a cheese grate inside of me&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We tried again at 10 weeks and Hugo [the dog, not housemate] decided to take a front row seat watching in awe\/horror and Rae woke up two minutes in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Third time lucky, at 11 weeks, we finally managed something that felt as close to sex as possible. Laughing really helps, talking to each other throughout helps.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pretending it&#8217;s the first time you&#8217;ve ever had sex with each other ever helps. Lube really helps. Silky soft ultra thin condoms help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Experimenting with basic positions then levelling up to spicy ones when you&#8217;re ready helps and time really really helps.&#8221;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtimenew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/0_INSTAGRAM-1-240x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10280\" \/><br \/>\nSince she shared the candid post this week, the clip garnered thousands of likes and comments. One said: &#8220;I love the honesty in your content. I appreciate you.&#8221;<br \/>\nWhile another chimed in: &#8220;This caption is just an excellent piece of writing! I love your honesty it&#8217;s so refreshing!&#8221; While a third commented: &#8220;Elegant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And a fourth wrote: &#8220;This is absolutely not spoken about enough!
