Sex pp
Anybody have sex too soon pp? Like before you were completely ready? I am about 2.5 weeks pp and was pretty much done bleeding(just a little extra mucus and very little spotting once or twice throughout the day). We had sex and it didn't hurt too bad(a little stretching feeling and kinda stung a little). Now after though I feel extra sore all over. I did have stitches in my labia since I tore in the front. I also noticed more bleeding afterwards when I cleaned up and on the bed. It didn't seem very heavy so I'm not too worried about it but just don't want to have anything bad happen. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else had sex before they were completely ready. I should mention that mentally I was definitely ready since we generally have sex 4-5 times a week and had only been having sex about 1x a week towards the end of my pregnancy and nothing in the last month.

Even if you were cleared by your OB you definitely should wait the 6 weeks for your body to recover. You can cause permanent damage to your uterus… this will only prolong your healing process
Premature sex after my first pregnancy gave me an infection that turned into a kidney infection, which is a common enough complication to experience if you have sex too soon after birth. Definitely am not making that mistake again because that kidney infection had me in and out of the ER and made me feel like I was dying. Sex isn't worth all that mess. Your uterus isn't fully healed until 6wks due to the wound left behind by your placenta, so just wait it out. I'm currently 4wks postpartum and have felt totally back to normal since 2 days postpartum. I'm still waiting, though! Learned my lesson the first time 😆
