Give more time: Your tissues may not be back to normal. If this was a difficult delivery with prolonged pushing and or forceps you may have some trauma to the pudendal nerve. It may take 12-16 weeks before sensation starts to come back. You can get your dr to refer you to physical therapy to get the pelvic floor muscles stronger.
