It all down to how you free tbh as long as you are not feeling pressured to engage earlier than you are prepared for. We know sex is not just about your body but your mind too. If you need time take the time but communicate with your partner as both your feelings matters.
When I had my first with stitches I waited 3months and my second no stitches 6weeks. Just listen to your body mama
With my 1st, I had a tear all the way to back, and waited 2 months. Was the most painful thing ever, legit he went in twice and I was screaming and we stopped. Waited months until trying again. My 2nd I waited 2 months, no stitches, no pain My 3rd, two weeks. No pain. Enjoyable. Every birth is different.
You should wait two more weeks before having vaginal sex, but it definitely shouldn't be with him. That's disgusting behavior. My partner and I just do anal, but I'm not pressured into it.
@Star I mean…. He’s not being a dick about it he just misses having sex with me. I wouldn’t really call it disgusting behavior. He’ll wait as long as I want to
@Vanny I’m sorry you had to go through that! I cannot imagine :( my OB said my tear was minor and the first week felt awful so I mean really I’m so glad you got through that with your first baby, and that it didn’t scare you away from having another baby 🫶
I was somewhere between 3-6 months pp. my BD waited for me to initiate. My PPD was pretty bad
we waited six weeks and i wished i had waited longer tbh! even though i really wanted to get back into it it was painful, and it took some time to adjust. if you’re still feeling stitches definitely don’t do it yet
@Star I don’t think that’s really fair to say she shouldn’t have sex with her partner because he’s made a point that he is excited to sleep with her again. She said she didn’t feel pressured. It’s not disgusting behaviour for a man to express that he would like sex with his woman.
With my first I waited until 2 weeks pp and With my current I was 4-5 weeks pp. I had to wait a little longer because of my 2nd degree tear.
I waited almost 3 months PPD it being my first I wanted to make sure I was ready and had no pain. Husband was with whatever I was with. Go with how you feel body wise, no need to rush. It naturally happened after watching him put the baby to sleep. Worth the wait. We’re due in October with our second and I plan to do the same. 
There’s no shame in your game. Make love if you want to. It’s normal.
My husband whined and begged and we tried at 7 wks. I wasn’t ready. Don’t let him pressure you!

We tried at 6 weeks and it was painful! We waited until 8 and it was much better
As someone who had an infection after labour I strongly recommend waiting the recommended 6 weeks. They advise 6 weeks minimum to reduce risk of infection. Also, I had an epesiotomy aswell as the infection so may be different but it was still really painful for me until we'll after that time. I think 6/7 months before we could do anything that I wasn't in pain with
I had 2 first degree tears and honestly I’d probably have given in by now if I didn’t have stitches. But still holding strong at 5 weeks pp.
do not let your BD be the reason you decide to have sex! you JUST had a baby. most OBs don't even clear you for sex until the 6 wk point, and even then a lot of women decide to wait a bit longer and that is perfectly okay!!
