How long did you guys wait to have sex?

I had a c section and I was told to wait 6 weeks but it’s been a whole month today since I had my baby. I have 2 more weeks left and I can’t wait 😭 only because I haven’t had sex since I was 20 weeks pregnant. Me and my husband had sex once or more everyday and I want it to go back to that because man he’s such a tease 🥲 do I really have to wait that long? What if I use a condom?

it is HIGHLY reccomended to wait the full 6 weeks. its not about feeling ready, its about avoiding infection as the wound from both the placenta AND the csection will still be healing, and having sex before then, even with condoms (which are not sterile) can introduce a tonne of bacteria and sincerely slow down healing. I do feel your pain though, not being able to go at it has been a STRUGGLE!

I’m sorrryyyyy butttt I had sex as it hit two weeks 😭😭😭 I couldn’t wait no longer. I hadn’t been having sex since the middle of the third trimester and my jaw was tired. (If yk, yk) it was one night I was sucking an eggplant 🤭 and I don’t know I couldn’t take it no more I hopped on it. He was like you shouldn’t be blah blah blah. Buutttt backstory. I only bled for three days and my doctor was saying I could start doing light workouts if I wanted. Which I didn’t want to exercise but that I wanted to do . And that I did do. It was kinda in the moment and he did finish in me, but uhm I think I’m ok. It didn’t hurt or anything it just feels really tight at first but once you’re wet chileeeeeee. A time was had 😭😭.

Wait seriously wait we didn’t and the blood was horrible it came back

Ohhh, only thing, don’t do missionary, either you on top of doggy or cowgirl or anything other than missionary.

8 weeks and it hurt so much. We tried a few times and I don’t want to have sex now at all

Never

@Danielle girl yess my jaw has been hurrtinnggg lmao with my second kid I had sex after a week but it wasn’t like fulling going at it but I’m just scared idk if I should wait or what I don’t feel in pain anymore but I also wouldn’t want to risk getting an infection

For us i knew i was healing great but the only thing going through my head was i neeedddd this and this was my exercise. 😭

@Danielle thanks for the heads up lol he’s been hitting from the back but it’s not my favorite since anal has always felt painful for me but it gets the job done rn lol

I had sex 3 and a half weeks- 4 weeks after my baby was born (I had a vaginal birth and didn’t tear) mostly bc my bleeding stopped when I was around 10 days postpartum and Ik it was risky but it did hurt it hurt a lot for me so I would recommend waiting the full 6 weeks just so it’ll be more comfortable for you

Definitely wait. There’s so many reasons to wait. You don’t want an infection you don’t want your incision to open up you don’t want to bleed more you don’t want to be in more pain and most of all you do not went to be pregnant!

I had sex after about 5 weeks because I felt ready physically and mentally and it felt like it was a breath of life back into our relationship. Peope will tell you ‘wait till 6 weeks’ blah blah. Yes there are health reasons why you should maybe consider waiting but if you feel ready then the choice is deffo yours! If you’re concerned about doing it before 6 weeks you could always talk to your doc or health visitor for some reassurance!

@Danielle yo what?😭😭😭girl you was lucky you didn't get an infection like are you fr I get everyone heals differently but 2 weeks is definitely NOT enough time ...

I was 8 weeks. My surgeons work was too good to ruin. Aside from everything everyone else has said, if you orgasm it triggers uterine contractions which hurt like a bitch xx

@Holly idk 🤷🏾‍♀️
