Sex post c section?

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 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.

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. 😌

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?

20 week scan!

I had my scan today! All was good, she was very stubborn though so it took ages to get all the measurements. No cleft lip from me being on Ondansetron for my sickness (I’m still unwell everyday).
However, I currently have a low lying placenta- has anyone had this before? I have to have another scan to check on it later on.


They asked if I knew what I was having and thankfully confirmed she is indeed a girly whirly.
I did ask for them at the end to show my husband the “burger” so he could visibly see no willy 😂

I’m so glad my 8 week blood test was right 🥳 a big 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 to soooo many saying they’re a waste of money and not right so early on 😂 (not ladies in this group, but I’ve seen so many comments in other groups that are always so negative).
