It will improve, and oddly enough, the more you use it the faster you will get better, though that may be frustrating for you. Make sure you are well lubricated, KY or Astroglide if necessary, plenty of foreplay, slow and easy, and it will eventually get better. My wife had a 4th degree with our first, and she was sore for about 6 months.
