Hello all,
I am de-lurking to pose a question to you all from a colleague of mine.  We 
are both registered midwives in Ontario, Canada. We have the mother's 
permission to post, and I am posting on behalf of this woman's midwife (she 
is familiar with LactNet but computer-leery!).  This  is what I have been 
asked to post:  "Does anyone have experience working with a woman, planning 
to breastfeed, who has had difficulty with negative physical sensations 
early on in her sexual experience?  She stresses that the feelings were not 
painful but were negative, that is non-pleasurable.  These sensations have 
recently resurfaced during the pregnancy.  She is concerned that they may 
surface during breastfeeding and is worried they may adversely affect her 
ability/desire to put the baby to or keep the baby at the breast.  Any 
advice about how to help her prepare for breastfeeding and how to cope 
should these situations continue after the pregnancy would be welcome." 
Thank you for reading this -- I have learned so much over the years from 
reading Lactnet.
Thank you,
Kim Fera
RM in Ottawa, Canada
