Sex after birth

It is recommended 6 weeks even if you feel fine, internally you have not healed until months after fully but 3 weeks isn’t enough in my opinion, but it’s everyone’s choice

I mean while most people would recommend waiting longer, it's not really your MILs business. Did she ask you? Did you tell her? Did HE tell her? Boundaries.

3 weeks omg I couldn’t even sit down 3 weeks pp 🙈

You have a dinner plate sized wound inside you until around 6 weeks hence the recommendation. The infection risk is very high in that time frame and your body isn’t healed which is probably where her opinion is formed from but ultimately it’s none of her business

4 weeks pp for me but the recommendation is 6 weeks.
Odd conversation to have with your MIL 😆

she heard us😂

I waited just under the 6 weeks, it’s more about risk of infection internally. But my mom literally got pregnant 4 weeks pp. to each their own 😂😂

6 weeks. There are recommended time period with medical study and evidence to back up with cases. I didn’t want to risk any chances as it wasn’t worth it for me.

2 weeks but had a c-section

My husband and I started doing “stuff” around 3 weeks pp but didn’t do vaginal until 5 1/2 weeks. It’s what ever you feel comfortable with 💗💗💗

I'm 5 weeks pp and I refuse until some form of bc is in my body

3 weeks is brave! I was still bleeding and my tear was kind of stinging. I waited 6 months

5 1/2 weeks and it’s still painful at 6 1/2 weeks pp

Like others said very high risk of infection till after 6 weeks pp. Internally you need go heal

2 weeks with a minor tear but I shouldn't have🤣🤣 I'm a month pp and it still hurts for the first few minutes or whenever he touches it or I sit afterwards

would you expect a woman to put herself through pain for her husband’s sexual pleasure? Ridiculous comment

I think you should probably worry about what you’re doing and let others do what’s comfortable for them without judgement. Just because you were ready to get back to it asap doesn’t mean everyone is 😊

you shouldn’t be attacking anyone

I had an episiotomy and went again 3.5 weeks after, I was no longer bleeding and felt comfortable enough to try. I appreciate that there’s a risk of infection and it’s a sensitive area but I think it’s about listening to your own body and whether you feel comfortable. Nobody should ever do it because they have to and it’s normal for people to wait ages. You do you mumma.
