When did you have sex for the first time after baby?

Sooooooo if we are talking penetration it was after I had my first period which was 2 months after giving birth with both kids! But we did a whole lot of other things before that !!! Like you my hormones were crazy specially with my 2nd and it was so much fun 🤪 teasing each other and learning more too about what we like without penetration of penis 🤪 hahaha

With my first born I waited about 5 weeks till we did the deed lol my “first period” already had finished and I was technically healed already plus like you said my hormones was everywhere!! I couldn’t wait another week lol

My son is 9 weeks today and we still have not done anything 😂 🤷‍♀️

I waited 3 weeks for penetration.. it hurt but my hormones were crazy. I didn't have any tearing and my bleeding was like a spot every few days. So I think if you feel comfortable then get it girl lol 😉

As others have said, the main reason for the recommended 6 week wait is for the wound internally where the placenta was attached. If you are feeling good and happy for trying something out I suggest using protection and lots of lube…condom so you don’t risk infection, and lube cos you are likely to be dry thanks to hormones. Good luck!

6 weeks because your outsides may be healed but your uterus has a gigantic hole and it is very easy to get an infection from objects entering

We waited like Three or four months. I can tell you now even at eight months postpartum that things are still tight down there and at times uncomfortable. Thank God for lube.

2 weeks in the shower sheesh 😂

4 weeks PP then I got pregnant again 😅

Waited til 6 weeks though i stopped bleeding at 4 weeks. I was considering starting at 4 weeks but my fiance had researched and he wanted to wait 6 weeks to be safe. I agreed. He still got blowjobs and we did other things not involving inserting. 6 weeks isn't long. Better safe than sorry. Prevent infection in uterus. Nothing to do with outside tear or stitches.

I waited about 12 weeks PP cuz I wasn’t comfortable yet. I wouldn’t do it so soon as you’re not even healed a week. Please wait until the 6 week appointment, you don’t want an infection to set in or your stitches to rip.

If you want to go ahead. Just do some vagina steams and kegels to get her moisturized first (naturally) you are still healing…

We waited 3 months and I got pregnant again and also ended up miscarrying.

3 weeks but I had a C-section and that was cause I was no longer in pain

5 1/2 and I actually retore and had an additional 6 weeks of healing. If the outside is feeling fine, there are things you can still do without penetration. Always best to wait until the doctor clears you.

We had sex at 3 weeks and I kinda regret it because it still hurts at 3months PP and I feel like it’s cause we did it too early

They say 6 weeks because the internal wound from the placenta detaching that you can’t see takes a while to heal. As others have said having sex before 6 weeks puts you at risk of internal damage and infection. Yes you might be fine, but if you’re an unlucky one that isn’t and has to fight an infection with a newborn it would be really hard.

I waited almost 3 months with my first I had a rough vaginal delivery and was just scared with anything dealing with down there. Right after my orgasm, I screamed “yes it still works” lol. I think we waited six weeks after my second delivery much less complicated birth.

I had it after 8 days as I could not wait any longer 😂 it was a little sore to start with then it was great 😊 I didn’t have any tear and bleeding pretty much had stopped.

We tried at 6 weeks but it didn't happen! I had a 3rd degree tear and we decided to wait until I'd been examined and knew everything was ok. Got the 'all clear' just after 7 weeks and we've been back at it since 😈😂 xx

Tried at 6 weeks hurt to much. got some lube and then tried it again a few days later

😂 I haven't. Wednesday will be 3yrs since I conceived. That was the last time I had sex.

My hormones were going crazy too, we did after 2 weeks 😬 But they say to wait because it could cause infection because of the big wound inside your uterus. Just be careful if you do, make sure he's clean, doesn't cum in you/he wears a condom

4 weeks for me. Never had any problems or issues with it.

6 weeks

They recommend 6 weeks due to risk of infection where the placenta detaches x I wouldn’t personally risk it as I’ve heard it can be quite serious x

I had sex after the 6 weeks because I was still bleeding. The 6 weeks is to help you heal from the trauma you encountered down there. But take slow and if it hurts stop. Using some form of birth control is necessary because you could get pregnant within those 6 weeks.

5 weeks. Couldn't wait anymore 😂

I had sex 8 days postpartum becasue I couldn't wait 🙈 I was like you had a tiny graze and my bleeding stopped, after I had sex though my bleeding picked up for a couple more days! If you feel comfortable then go for it! xx

My midwife said wait at least two weeks, but with my first pregnancy I waited a week

Probably about 10 weeks - I had an episiotomy and one stitch was still sore for a while. It was still a bit sore then but we muddled through 🙈 x

I waited three weeks with my last.

I had. 1rdt degree tear and was told around 2minths or when the bleeding completely stopped (whichever came first🤷🏽‍♀️)and I feel like no matter the time frame given, waiting until you aren't in bleeding anymore is a smart move. That way you know at least you are healed enough to help prevent infection and worsening a tear. So long as you are gentle. That is SOOO important too👀💯 Good luck girlie!

I did at 5 weeks and was awful, really nervous to try again and I’m now 7 weeks pp

I waited 7 weeks. I had a c-section section but I did heal very very well but I bleed till 6 weeks so I wanted to wait until I'd stopped

I tried at 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and it was excruciating every time until 14 weeks PP :/

remember its about inside healing too you have a wound the size of a dinner plate

When ever u feel up to it, but remember ur outside may have healed. Inside will b still open n needs time to heal. ( u can do other things 😂)

I would wait till bleeding to completely stop.

I was in the same situation as you I was ready a week after delivery and my husband was afraid he didn’t want to hurt me. I think we waited 2-3 wks cuz I wasn’t going to hold off for 6 🤪

I had a 2nd degree tear and had sex the other day at about 2 weeks pp 😁 we got the all clear from the midwife and did it that day, we didn't wanna wait another second 😅

My first? 2 weeks.. and even though I wanted it- it wasn't good. And it was super dangerous! Even if you aren't bleeding you need time for the giant wound to heal from your placenta. The risk of infection is so high. My 2nd I waited 8 weeks- and it was great!!
No tearing with either kiddo.

We waited 10 days 🙈🙈🙈

I dont think we made it a whole week. 😬 lol but i didnt tear and be careful! Currently 6 months postpartum and 4 months pregnant 😅

I waited 4 weeks and had no issues!

4 weeks pp

I would truly wait the 6 weeks for that placenta wound to heal. Otherwise you risk serious infection. I had a 3rd degree internal tear, so I waited until 8 weeks I believe, and we were very slow and gentle.

We couldn't wait (for some reason my libido was ott after birth) so barely waited a few days.. I have to say that even though i had an emergency c section it still hurt internally to have sex. It could be because of the vaginal exams during labour...or just inflammation of the area after surgery.. But we had to go really carefully and make sure there was no pressure on my scar and stomach. It was worth it.. But if you don't want to get pregnant again straight away please use protection and don't rely on breastfeeding as contraception!

First kid : 3 months
Sec: 7 months
Third: 3 weeks

4 months 😩 I had an episiotomy
