Anyone else have a hard time waiting?

Yall im officially 6 weeks pp today. I only ended up with 1 second degree tear while delivering and I’ve been feeling great for the last 2 weeks, no bleeding, no discomfort, and I was able to feel that the stitches dissolved. With that being said, me and my husband are going insane. The earliest my OB could see me for my postpartum check up is Friday of next week but I dunno if I can wait that long😭

Hahhahahaha this was not my problem

My OB told me that if I feel good I don't need to wait, but if there is still pain then I should. At my 6 weeks she asked if we'd tried yet so (not a Dr) but imo if you feel you want to/can you can always try :)

Definitely not struggling with that either, haha, but I saw my midwife today at 7 weeks. She asked if we had already tried (no), but didn’t seem concerned if we had. She wanted to know if I was done bleeding. Then she asked if I wanted to be checked, but it seemed like she would have given me the go ahead either way. At 6 weeks, with no bleeding, no pain, and no concerns of your own, I think you would be fine.

We only waited till 4 weeks

I went when I felt ready too. Around 4 weeks. The 1st couple times hurt then after it was okay. I’m 7 weeks pp now.

Did it prob at 3 weeks I had no tears thankfully so I felt good once bleeding stopped No discomfort or pain I think it’s more when you feel ready and comfortable also if you are healed properly

fr I'm still having pain 9 weeks pp so I'm waiting but ,,,

I mentally was very in the *mood* by like 3 days postpartum and was so bummed we couldn’t do it. But due to a LOT of pain from an episiotomy we waited until 9 weeks PP. I would really advise you wait until you’re cleared, just in case it makes things worse!

@Jess me neither we are so exhausted lol and between all the feedings when are people finding time ? I get like ..2-3 total Hours of sleep if that lol bed is no longer a sacred space- just a place where we nap

I didn’t have the energy nor did I want my vagina or boobs touched

@Lauren hahahah yes
