Had my baby 2 weeks ago today and been very horny the past week and I gave into my urges today with my faithful husband… we didn’t use a condom but we stopped when I came he didn’t cum . What are somethings I’m at risk for since I had sex?

His faithfulness isn’t the problem. It’s the dinner plate sized wound healing inside you from where the placenta was. His penis isn’t sterile no matter his fidelity. So there could be bacteria that causes infection or there’s a risk of hemorrhage. There’s also the possibility of getting pregnant from pre cum.
thank you I didn’t know!
when is a good time to have sex then? my ob didn’t tell me anything.

You need to call your OB office and ask to speak with someone. If you received no postpartum care or instructions, that’s a whole problem. PLEASE don’t have sex again until you are cleared by your doctor. 🥺
thank you! I didn’t know until I saw someone on here post how bad they wanted to have sex and saw something about how they have to wait like 20 minutes after I was done. I feel a lil scared now lol

Usually 6 weeks . Thats the time I was given

6 weeks minimum! Sometimes 8 weeks!

Be on the lookout for signs of infection. If you have a fever, excessive cramping, weird discharge, etc. they'll probably want you on antibiotics asap. I'd honestly call your OB and see if they want you on a mild antibiotic anyways as a preventative since 2 weeks is not a lot of time.

Besides risk of infection, you’re super super fertile post partum. It doesn’t matter if he came in you or not you can still get pregnant from precum
