A while :'D like 22 weeks. But my recovery was rough.

Until you’re ready! But after 6 weeks if everything was fine

Exactly 6 weeks to be on a safe side, especially that I had 2nd degree tear

I went 5 weeks :/ I didn’t have any issues but I would stick to medical guidelines

Still not interested to do it and it’s been 4 1/2 months

The night of my 6 week post op. Took me a bit to convince my husband, but in the end I won lol

Literally 6 weeks.

I did 9 weeks after, and I initiated 😂they say 6 weeks is alright if everything went well after labor though, good luck❤️

At your 6 week appointment they usually give the all clear... Unless you are me and have overgrowth on a tear that they need to burn off with silver nitrate (not fun)... So currently no idea when they'll lift the embargo. It's really hard to not have the intimate connection with my husband to fall back on when we are going through so much with this really rough infant stage. This is when when we need that connection most.

I've waited 6wks usually, 4 times, but this last pregnancy resulted in a c-hyst so we waited a few more weeks like 8 or 9 until I felt ready.

We actually waited 6 months, got pregnant again at 7 months (it was semi-planned though!)

Like 7 weeks, got the all good from my doc

About 3 months by the time I felt in the mood and we could manage with baby. I had zero complications during birth and no tears yet still took my time xx

8 weeks for me though I tried at 4 as I felt like it would be all good everything felt normal outside and well couldn’t even get it half in without discomfort and just felt off that’s all I can say 🤣 so we waited and was definitely worth it that extra healing did the trick!

Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy

Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣
Edit: this is what I caught in the shower and does not include anything that went down the plug, anything that stayed on my comb, anything still attached to my body when I got out or anything that was still in the bath when I was done ✌️.

Hi,
My little one is 6 months old. I will be returning to work when she is 1. She will be going to nursery. Is anyone else filled with anxiety and dread about leaving their little one. Any mums that have done it and had positive experiences. It is all I can think about and I still have another 6 months to go.
We had a traumatic birth so I am wondering if this is affecting how I am feeling too.
Any tips/support/advice greatly appreciated 👏
