Sex after c section

How soon after a c section is it safe to have sex? And/or an orgasm? I’m 2 weeks pp and feeling like I’m ready but not sure if when’s best

6 weeks is the earliest. Even though you didn't tear vaginally, you still have a massive wound in your uterus from the placenta detaching that poses a serious risk of infection.

@Grace that’s a shame 😅

@Skye i think you can do external things though 😅! Just nothing internal because of infection risk!

Noooo don’t, 6 weeks!!!

I didn’t wait 6 weeks I was fine, a lot of women do it before 6 weeks. 2 weeks is a bit early I must say, I did ti at 4 weeks just to be safe, as the bleeding wasn’t as heavy then

Speak with your OB. My OB cleared me at 4w5d after C-section because my bleeding and lochia stopped.

Definitely wait for now 🤣 give yourself another week before you do the big O haha Then give yourself a healing break and see if u can handle that Then speak to ur doc about penetration. I was 4 1/2 weeks when I had actual sex. It hurt LOL just FYI

I’m 9 weeks PP and I still haven’t had sex yet lol!! I was going to wait until 12 weeks just to be entirely safe .. I might be over reacting x

6 weeks. give your body a chance 🥲

To be honest I did the do @ 5 weeks pp and I’m fine 🤷🏿‍♀️

Ive had 2 c sections, I done it at 3 weeks pp with my first & 4 weeks with my 2nd. I was fine both times. My doc said as long as your postpartum lochia (bleeding & discharge) has stopped then you’re basically fine to do it, if you feel well enough x

I did it at 4 weeks and my lord it was painful so I waited till 6 weeks and it didn't hurt I guess it depends when you start how painful it is for you give your body a chance to heal tho 😊

6 weeks and even then it was extremely uncomfortable

I waited 4 weeks. No pain. No discomfort.

6 weeks and once you’ve been cleared by your dr
