I had a c section. Waited 4 weeks. Should of waited longer.

Tbh I waited four weeks I got drunk at a quince n when we got home I did the deed lol

Waited four weeks lil painful had a c section

Hey, we waited 6 weeks. It wasn’t the best but it wasn’t horrible either. Did you push at all prior to surgery?

First kid waited 3 weeks second kid waited two days to frisky to wait any longer

5 weeks

I waited about 7 or 8 weeks and had a pregnancy scare then waited until I got my BC put it to do it again cause I could have been pregnant again with a baby that was only 2 months. Just chew on that for a while especially if you despise the idea of having more than one child under two

I had a c-section and only waited like 2-3 weeks, till i got on depo shot,,, probably should have waited longer, but oh well lol

You’ll know when your ready hun, don’t rush it, I wanted to have sex around 6 weeks after my doc gave me the all clear, just knew my body wasn’t quite there x

Im only 2 weeks post C-Section and some trauma. Im probably going to wait a full 8 weeks.

6 weeks to try, but more like 8 to actually have sex. It was super painful at 6 weeks, but it turned out I wasnt healing properly. 3 months and I'm finally 100% healed (I tore pretty badly apparently... more than they let on in the hospital lol)

I delivered vaginal but I’ve never had stitches, after my deliveries my OB said it looked like I was never even pregnant so we did it at 3 weeks with my second daughter and 2 with my last lol!

5 weeks: when my dr cleared me. It didn't hurt, but with my 3 other c sections sex hurt the first time. Tbh I think it depends how your recovery goes. This one has hands down been the best & we have had sex probably 10 times in the past 3 weeks because its been so easy. However- with baby #1 we waited 6 wks to try & it hurt, baby #2 same, baby #3 closer to 2 months pp & hurt a little bit. This time I was on top for our first time (sorry TMI) & it was perfect. I'm assuming because of my healing & the fact that I controlled depth. All my babies were c sections.

6 weeks. Once I got the okay from the doctor.

2nd degree tear OUCH! 9 pound baby so I waited 3 months probably longer lol I was terrified

I feel dirty after reading these comments lol I had a csection & waited like a week or 2 😂😶

C section & waited like 2 weeks 😐

13 DAYS?!?! Go ahead girlfriend! 😃

I had my son vaginally I got 1 stitch and it was painful to have sex so we tried at 6 weeks it hurt like hell 8 weeks still was a sharp pain my son just turned 2 months today and it actually doesn’t hurt as much but it’s still uncomfortable

I waited five days after birth delivered with no stitches 🤦🏾‍♀️

I waited until 4 mo. PP - even though my doc said it was fine at the check up, I really believe it’s important to give your body time to heal. A human just came out of there!!! 😂🤣

2nd degree tear but even so there are a lot of times even now I'm just not feeling it I think it was 10 weeks because even though I was cleared I had never had stitches before so I was afraid the were still there

I’m still struggling with sex and it’s about to be 8 months now. It hurts so much, any advice?

Have you tried any creams to ease the pain Rachel?

Creams, lube, toys lol oh and foreplay

Haha! Around 5 months! Even long after i got the thumbs up from my doctor, i was NOT in the mood ever or at all. My partner wasn’t much help in the first few months, leaving me exhausted and frustrated (plus hormones) so the last thing i was thinking about was giving him a treat haha

Lol hell im still waiting on sex And my baby is 8 months! My husband acts like he’s the one that carried our baby😡😩😂

Yeah guys act like they did something that deserves a gold medal 😂

We tried around the 2 1/2-3 week mark because we were in the hospital with our baby until he was 10 days old. It wasn’t the most pleasant experience.. around 4-5 weeks it was much better. I had a c-section this last time.

Also, it is key that they don’t lay all of their weight on your stomach for the first few months of healing because that is not fun at all.

3 weeks after c section

I waited three weeks only because for some reason I was terrified of hemorrhaging . I wanted to after a week though
