i’m 8 weeks and scared. haven’t done anything since 24 weeks for medical reasons and gave birth at 36 weeks
Everyone’s libido is different. I tried at 10 weeks. I had a 2nd degree tear so I was scared. But many women on here suggested lots of foreplay, riding on top, using lots of lube and going slow. I did all of that 🥵 and since then, my sex drive has been really high. Maybe that part of you that has been quiet for 6 months will be awakened again🔥
7 weeks and it took about a month to feel normal again
6 weeks. But I don't have a huge libido now...
7 weeks
I think I didn’t have sex until 4 months with my first and 3 months with my second
I had sex at 5 1/2 weeks PP 😊
I haven't had a drive at all since the birth of my first... 5.5 years ago. My youngest is now 15 weeks and we've done it once since she was born. We have three so sex isn't on my mind at all and I'm fine that way. I did get my hormones checked before I got pregnant with our third and I was told I had like zero testosterone which can be a cause of this. Might be worth getting your hormones checked if it's bothering you but they wouldn't give me any HRT as they said they only really do it for women going through menopause which is a shame!
We were at it until almost 42weeks pregnant 🫣 we then waited but when I felt more comfortable around 3-4weeks we did stuff, nothing penetrative because I had tearing and an episiotomy. And then around 7/8 weeks we took it super slow and had sex. So much lube was used lmao. We would just try every so often and didn’t start having regular sex really u tik 4/5months PP. I’m 6 months now
4 months postpartum, and we didn’t have sex after the 1st trimester. I just had no sex drive whatsoever!
Honestly, about 12 weeks postpartum. Was still having sex throughout pregnancy, well into the third trimester, which was physically awkward but fine. Tried the first time at week 10 postpartum, but I'd had a 2nd-degree tear and episiotomy because my baby's head was big and he was born fast, and honestly the pain was too bad to even get it on then 😢 We attempted again using lube and foreplay and it was much better. Honestly don't jump straight into things just because you feel you "have to" do it like you did before. It's okay to take it slow with non-penetrative stuff and work your way up to it again! Hormones, tearing, baby sleep, tiredness levels, cosleeping or not mean that everyone's got a different schedule 🙂
I tried 2 weeks and I felt all healed by then. Don’t recommend until 6 weeks !
@Ariyana I think it's more to do with the fact you have an open wound in your uterus and you can become infected x
I had a c section and a high libido so I did at 5 weeks pp and it was fine for me. I’m pregnant again and I don’t want him to get near me for some reason 😭😭😭 he’s cool and won’t pressure me into anything but same, kinda feel bad. Like don’t take it personally but please don’t touch me 🤣🤣
i had sex exactly at my 6 week mark but i kinda felt the same too, i didn’t have much of a sex drive the first like 6 months pp tbh
