Unprotected sex a month postpartum

It’s been 4 weeks since I had my c section and yesterday things got heated and one thing led to another and we ended up having unprotected sex. He ended up coming inside me. But I dont wanna take the morning after pill because that makes me feel unwell.

But i’m more so worried about getting an infection now. Has anyone had similar experience ?

Nurse here - you’re most fertile after birth, if you don’t want another baby yet i would take the morning after pill and in terms of infection, I’d monitor symptoms and get checked in a few days as infection is highly possible, they advise waiting to allow your body time to heal you’ve just been through a huge surgery, i hope this helps 💕

I’d be less worried about infection and more worried about pregnancy tbh, right now you are super fertile and you haven’t even started to heal internally yet to safely carry.

I’d personally take the morning after pill even if it made me feel ill for a few days.

Hi everyone!

I found out that I was pregnant on June 30 and this whole time I thought I would be a little further (last first day of my period was May 19) along according to my period. However, I ovulated late. So I went and got a ultrasound at a boutique today (on the image it’s going to say seven weeks however, it is very clear this is not a seven week baby) just to figure out what was going on. I was nervous the entire time and had the worst butterflies I’ve ever had in my life. And the ultrasound did confirm and showed that I am looking to be about 5 1/2 to 6 weeks!! I have an appointment coming up for more clarity. But! I am now considered to be a March mom💕 and although I was excited before, I am now overly excited because I am a March baby myself (3/18). I’m glad to be a part of the March 2027 group and I really do hope to talk to y’all more.

C section recovery question

Hi ladies! Quick question hopefully you can help! I had my second baby via c section almost 6 weeks ago. My first c section recovery went really well. My first son was in the NICU for two months and born at 29 weeks. So I had time to heal and rest while he was in the NICU. This time around my recover has been very different. My second baby boy was born at 37 weeks and did not need NICU stay. Once we got home, my incision opened and got infected a week after. I was placed on antibiotics and was allergic to the first two. Finally the 3rd antibiotics started healing my infection. It’s definitely been rough. Finally my incision closed and it’s no longer infected. However, my incision and above still feel really sore. I don’t remember my first c section feeling this way. I was up and going like nothing my first time around. Is this normal almost 6 weeks post c section?
Thank you so much for sharing your experience experiences!

I am 6 weeks post c section and have started to have sex again, it felt as though my cervix was quite sore especially in certain positions. Has anyone else experienced this? How long does it last and did anything help?
