Hey y’all what was your experience with sex post c section? I had my baby 5 weeks ago via emergency c section, I was 4 cm dilated. I think I’m going to opt for the Nexplanon implant at my 6 week, I’m literally terrified of getting the IUD. 😭 I’m really looking forward to being intimate with my man again but I’m also scared lol

I was 5 months pp and got pregnant first time so I'm no help. X

I had sex 4 weeks after my emergency csection and it was uncomfortable but got better (just try keeping the pressure of your wound because that shit hurts)

I had sex for the first time 4 weeks after my c section, it was super painful. I’m now 2 months pp, it’s still pretty uncomfortable at first but gets better

I’ll also add, I got an IUD at my 6 week checkup and it hurts but I haven’t had any bad symptoms from it!

I got Nexplanon implant the day after my implant (but need to get it removed and repositioned at my 6 week appointment).

I've had the same IUD and just got it removed in October. My son is 6 I had it installed 4 years ago. It worked very well for me. Just won't have sex now...

I had an emergency c section in 2017. I was dilated 4 cm then my bag ruptured while the nurse was checking me. My heart started to fail so they took him early an hour later. He weighed 5lbs, 7oz. He was super tiny and could only wear preemie clothes.

First time 7 weeks post partum & I was fine. Only thing that was uncomfortable is my new mum tum! It still feels a bit like jelly & sensitive to touch.

I had emergency c section I was fully dilated baby was fully breach and had to get her out ! I had sex 5 weeks post c section and was personally fine.. we took it easy abd touch wood I had no pain x

I was fine but I do feel like I don’t have the full sensation… does anyone else have this? X

yes!! I agree with this

It took us months after my first emergency c section. Then after my second c section again about 5months PO, the scare etc was fine but sex after so long wasn’t great (I was really tense!) left it another few months, everything was back to normal and one spare of the moment romp and bomb baby number 3 is on the way!!

I liked being on nexplanon.
Also, I was 8 weeks pp before I let my husband near me. At my 6 week visit my doctor said I was still really tender. Take it slow.
My advice?
Start with fingers gently before working your way up to 🍆

The first time was uncomfortable because it had been like 6 ish weeks. But after that it was fine- the only difference now is my stomach is still sensitive around my scar so if he puts too much pressure on it then it takes me out of ‘the mood’. Other than that we have had no issues

I had sex a week after. And got the IUD 3 weeks ago. Bubs it's 2.5 months and I've had a break in the bleeding

I’ve had the IUD (mirena) twice and it’s nothing to be scared of. It’s not bad at all girl. 😌
