How has everyone’s PP sex been? And any tips?
Me and hubby just tried to have sex 8 weeks pp and it was not successful. I had an emergency Caesarian, but was fully dilated and pushing beforehand.
It was quite painful and couldn’t really go past half way. It felt like something was blocking it. We used lube. We ended up abandoning (baby started crying too)

We had the same our first time (emergency C-Section and fully dilated beforehand) our second time was much more successful (5 weeks) we haven't done it since then purely due to the weather 🤣 but I honestly recommend alot of foreplay and easing into it, also communication is key, we tried doggy the second time and that was too painful so we ended up missionary and were able to start slowly then get into our rhythm. I hope this helps and good luck!

We had sex 7 weeks pp and lube is your friend! I felt like a virgin, just based on how nervous and unsure I was about how it would feel. Basically, you are the driving force behind the whole thing, I told hubby to stay still and let me do my thing. I find being on top really let me control how far I wanted to take it and I could go as slow as I wanted. The first time was just getting used to it again and it got easier and easier, and now its better than ever before.

I had a section after an hour of pushing too! Plus they tried ventouse which didn't work and i've been wondering if it's affected down there 😳 now I'm nervous! We haven't had sex yet, I'm only 6 weeks pp and not on birth control yet.
Plus what are people doing with their babies? I don't think I could do it in the same room as her but I also don't want to leave her somewhere alone 😕

I had same but eventually it improved after a couple more weeks have passed. We make sure baby is not crying and leave her in a safe place, like a basket or crib in a room next to us.
