As a new mom, sex doesn’t feel the same to me postpartum, I’m worried

Postpartum Life

Hey everyone! It’s my first time writing on here so I am not sure if I’m doing it right, but I need help. I am 6 weeks postpartum after having my first baby and my husband and I (me 20 and him 22) had sex for the first time since we had baby. It was good, we took it slow and it hurt at first with a little tingling sensation but then as he kept easing into it, it went away and was fine. I didn’t feel myself getting wet. Is that normal? Usually I’m wet even before we start doing anything and just us kissing used to have me very wet. Last night I didn’t feel that. It felt good but the dryness just didn’t sit right with me. He used spit and it was better but I just want to know is this normal? Will it go away? Has it happened to anyone else? What can I do? Pls help!
