I agree with Jen. Currently 9weeks postpartum and still needing lube. Not as much but still need. Also, wait till getting clearance. I am thankful I waited because i tried like 5w pp and it hurt bad and I didn’t wanna do it anymore. Hubby was very kind and we didn’t even continue. Once I got clearance, tried again and it hurt but at least I wasn’t scared of infections or getting my tear hurt. Good luck!
Me and my partner did it probably a lot sooner than we should have like 4 weeks, Ovb used a condom and surprisingly it didn’t hurt and didn’t need any xtra lube🤣 and he checked down there for me once a week anyway on my stitches and seemed to have healed really well. I was really worried at first but at the end of the day you know your body and if you are worried then defo wait untill your check up!🥺 as that guideline is there for a reason! I just was needing something🙄🤣 I’d say make sure you tease abit first don’t just try and shuv it in because then you will get pain down there🥺 just be gentle, and if you don’t feel like you can carry on then be honest with your hubby! but my first experience after baby was better than imagined it would be x Don’t rush if you’re not ready!❤️
Definitely wait until after 6 weeks.. or you can risk infection.. but otherwise lots of lube the first time.. it won't feel the same in my experience but it could be better 😌
