Sex before 6 weeks postpartum

I’m so curious about this!

My mom did. She got a bad infection, nearly died, and ended up with an emergency hysterectomy. Do not recommend.

I did at 3 weeks, I had stopped bleeding at that point. Had 2nd degree tear but that felt ok, just needed lots of lubricant. For me it was all fine but I get why they say wait 6 weeks because of the plate sized wound in your uterus where your placenta was. Personally I was ok not waiting, but it’s everyone’s own decision, don’t feel guilty about it!

the risk of infection isn’t worth it babes. i work in the only level 1 trauma hospital in my region and we see ALOT. you quite literally have a wound the size of a dinner plate in your uterus as it shrinks and heals post birth. play some tunes, get a massage and have that man use his other tools to complete the mission.

There is no longer a “rule” about waiting 6 weeks to have sex. It’s when you feel comfortable and ready to do it.

C-section here. I did at I think 2 weeks pp. I honestly felt up for it on the first night home but there was no way my partner was gonna be up for that and I knew really that that was not a good idea. We took it very slowly and gentle and it was absolutely fine. No problems at all. You know your own body.

I had sex 3 weeks post partum. I had a vaginal birth with 3 grazes, but they healed 2 weeks postpartum. My sex drive was insane the day we got home from hospital. So, i got the implant 10 days post partum and had sex 3 weeks post partum. We took it slow at first, just to see whether we could. I was a little tender for a day or 2 after though. Hope this helps 😊

You have a wound that needs to heal. And it can get an infection from sticking stuff up there. And if you aren’t using protection that it could be worse. Also if you aren’t using protection or birth control you can get pregnant right away. Which can also be dangerous because of the placenta wound

Dont do it anymore just wait because the issue isnt if u had stitches its because theres a dinner plate sized wound inside your uterus and your posing a chance for infection bc obviously a penis is not sterile.
