Sex after birth

Omg I was literally about to write the exact same thing 😂😂 also 2 weeks pp and zero pain and feel perfectly healed.... what's the verdict ladies?!!

I personally would wait, but if I really felt the urge, I’d use a vibrator or get my partner to do the vibrators job, but I wouldn’t have any penetrative sex for a couple of months.

Even with a c section you are supposed to wait until your 6week check up. Can still cause infections etc.. but i’m sure many people don’t wait and have been absolutely fine. I waited 3months as I wasn’t interested at all 😂 Plus I was scared of getting an infection or feeling any type of discomfort x

5½weeks.(I GOT THE OK FROM OBGYN) Me & my husband had heavy make-out sessions up until then! I stopped bleeding around week 3 & my scar healed great, it's almost invisible. My cycle didn't start until 8weeks

@Rebecca omg Yeha no pain and all I wanna do is show my boyfriend how much I appreciate him and how much I’ve missed him and have a good time with no melon bump in our way and no cramps hopefully 🤣x

You are supposed to wait due to the internal stitches so at least until 6-8 weeks. There were a lot of layers cut open! I had the orange/ yellow bloody discharge for 4 weeks and then came on my period

I wanted because it was an open wound I left it 6 weeks

You’ve got a great big wound inside you, you need to wait.

Omg don’t do it girl I did it 3 weeks pp and felt like I was losing my virginity again I instantly lost my sex drive cuz it was so painful for me

I could go another week and abit and that’s me done lol im caving in to the urge 🤣

@Ari so you mean only outside vibrator? Nothing inside at all ?

you need to wait until 6 weeks because of internal stitches and you have an open wound where your placenta was, so massive infection risk

@gaelle for me personally, no nothing inside. I’d be worried about infection whilst I’m still healing.

It’s not about pain or the incision site. It’s about the gaping wound left on the inside of your uterus and not exposing it to risk of infection. 9 weeks PP was when we had sex again (would have been dead on the 6 week mark but had to wait for birth control and then for that to actually work. Oh and then my bloody period arrived). We did other things that weren’t penetrative whilst waiting for things to heal. There is plenty that can be achieved using just the outside

6 weeks girl 7 layers they went through Try enjoy other forms of sex 😅 just not penetrative not worth internal tearinf.

Im mirin. I didnt have a ssx drive for bloody ages 😅 how the hell do you have it with a newborn?! No sleep, leaky boob's, cluster feeding - HOW 😅

If you have a vibrator, have your husband use that on you until you’re safe to have penetrative sex again.

Wait at least 6 weeks! Massive infection risk and if you were to get a serious infection you could literally die!

My goodness I wish I had your sex drive after birth! The advice is to wait 6 weeks to prevent infection.

@Sophie hahaha my sex drive has always been high yes I know about the advice but I can’t wait lol I’m to impatient

@Nicole I had a high sex drive until I had my babies. I always said I would never be like that… boy was I wrong haha. I realize that about a lot of things. Maybe just do some outercourse stuff. Don’t need penetration to be intimate and get off. 😉

Hahahahahaha I’ve tried that but prior to my baby Evelyn being. Born we haven’t had sex in a month and abit and she is a premature baby so we didn’t even get to make the most of it 😂

I waited 5 😭😭😭

I did it at 3 weeks pp it was really painful but we did it again the next day in a different position and it was sooooooo much better. Just be careful and try it out just listen to your body

@Jess my body’s saying yes sis my head but a shred of me is like 🚨 infection 🚨 and people telling me to wait bits it’s my way of winding down and relaxing and I miss it x feel far away from my boyfriend in my head rn x

@Nicole I felt the same way I felt so disconnected from him, it’s my way of relaxing too and I’ve always had a high sex drive but my god since having my baby it’s been through the roof. my advice would be to go for it use a condom to protect yourself (from infection and pregnancy because we are so fertile after having a baby) also lube might help I’ve never needed to use it before but it made it a lot more comfortable the first few times and I’m back to normal now, if it hurts try a different position or slow down xx

Where you placenta detaches from inside your womb leaves a dinner plate sized wound for weeks after birth. So it may all look and feel okay from the outside, but anything penetrative carries the risk for infection until you’re fully healed.

Being younger and uneducated with my first, I did it just a few weeks after more because he couldn't wait and I felt physically OK at the time and bleeding had stopped and no pain but then had a water infection and thrush that turned into pains and cramps, irregular bleeding for 9 months after (most days varied in how heavy) the risk of infection and problems that can be long lasting is just not worth it. The last time I waited 9 weeks and let myself completely heal and just blocked it out n tried not to think if it but was happy to. It definitely needs to be when you feel physically ready and healed, take your time and if you feel any pain or problems just stop. I mean your gonna do it when you wanna do it. Maybe read on the nhs information and do some research before you decide.
