Sex

I gave birth on the 23rd and had an episiotomy which hasn’t given me to much bother tbh. I feel mentally ready to have sex but wondered if anyone else had? It feels fine down there but I’m nervous!

You do what you feel is best for you but they normally recommend waiting at least 6 weeks due to risk of infection as you'll have a massive gap still where your placenta was so more prone to infections. Just be careful I would say

It's normally recommended to wait 6-7 weeks as you will still be healing internally. I would go by how you feel most comfortable

I would say it’s not worth the risk until you’ve passed the six week mark. It’s great you’re mentally feeling ready but physically (internally) you’re still not healed yet.

Mounjaro

Can someone please guide me on what I can do. Ive accidentally binned the last box for my Mounjaro prescription. Im currently changing supplier and they want proof but obviously I have binned the box. How can I send proof of prescription? Can I do it from my gp notes? Its on my gp notes I just cant find an actual prescription on medexpress to do it. It just doesn’t have my name on the nhs app though.

Breastfeeding difficulties

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my baby but i am struggling. Went to lactation consultant multiple times. I am not producing enough milk and because of that my baby is losing weight. Can someone please give me tips to increase milk supply. I am BF the baby 8 times a day and then pumping and giving top-ups and now also top-ups of formula because of his weight issues.

Breastfeeding

I’m 6 days postpartum when does breastfeeding get ‘easier’ not having to keep latching baby and baby can latch themselves and also when does cluster feeding come to an end and they have longer sleep windows? Especially at night!! Thank you 🙏 I need to see if there is a light at the end of this tunnel 😭
