I’m 2 weeks pp, had a fairly easy birth thankfully and bleeding seems to be coming to a stop with only one stitch left to dissolve! My husband and myself are both so frustrated and want to be active again. When is it too soon? I know they say 6 weeks so your body is fully healed and you’ve got your cycle back but I just can’t seem to wait that long💀
Have you became active again? And when felt best for you?

It's 6 weeks because that's how long it takes for the internal healing to finish. Until then you are at risk of infection of the womb.
If you avoid penetration you'll be fine though. So get creative xx

Last time I was 4 weeks postpartum, only 2 weeks postpartum atm and couldn’t think of anything worse lol x
