How long did you wait to have sex?

And how did you prepare. I just had my 6 week app and doc said I’m healing well but I don’t feel ready, honestly I’m terrified. How long did y’all wait and did you do anything to help yourself prepare? My husband is not rushing me but I know he is anxious especially because we hardly had sex during the pregnancy either 😩

I think I waited until about 8 or 9 weeks. I had a csection, but I was still scared

I'm 4 months PP tomorrow and we still haven't had sex, I was pretty scared at first. Less scared now but still a bit and I'm just way too tired for that haha

I’ll be 7 weeks pp on Saturday but will be having my 6 week check up tomorrow. I’m still too scared to even if they say it’s okay to tomorrow. I’m taking my time. My husband is also scared to do it so he’s good taking our time. What I’m planning on doing to prepare is just start with only foreplay for a couple weeks then slowly get into it

I had a normal delivery with 2nd degree tear.. We tried sex after 10 weeks, and it was so painful that we had to stop in between. I guess i am going to wait until I am healed properly.

I am 6 weeks PP and still experiencing some pain. I think it will likely be another month or so before we try. I'm so exhausted that I'm not really interested in sex anyway.

I’m c-section so it’s different. But my husband and I started with first full body massages (minus scar areas) in week one. Then after the massage we added clit stimulation and hand jobs for him in week 2. We then moved up to oral by week 4. I’m week 5 now. It helped focusing on intimacy touch first like massage to get me mentally more relaxed. It also helps me feel connected to him even without sex. Sometimes now we still do only the massage. I have heard C-section is more likely to have longer term vaginal pain during sex if there’s nerve damage in the pelvic region, but luckily at least I don’t have fear anymore.

4 months, we had sex once and I'm pregnant again. God give me strength 😬😅😅😅😅 have to admit I had ALOT of stitches internally too and it was just like normal i was worried it would hurt alot

@Jenni that gives me hope, I had a lot of stitching too

Honestly I would say just take it at your own pace. Lots of "warm up" before hand would help too to loosen everything up a lil. You'll be grand and enjoy it I'm sure and if it is too much there's always another time! X
