Sex in postpartum
Show your support
I’m 4 month PP and not done the deed yet, but I do feel ready if/when the times comes. By the end of the day I’m so exhausted I just want an hour peace before I go to bed. Sex is the last thing I think about.
5 weeks pp after a section. We went VERY slowly
yes but only twice, it hurt and mentally I’m not ready
It took me 5 months after my first as I had a horrible recovery. This time round I was around 10 weeks I think but recovery was much better. I know the absolute anxiety around it from the first time though - personally I pushed through as I knew for myself that’s what I needed to do. I didn’t particularly want to (as in I wasn’t ’in the mood’ but I wanted to ‘get it over with’ so I just did it and literally after the first few mins all that anxiety went and was ‘back to normal’ again. I know most comments will say only do it when you want to and you are ready but for me the final block was the actually making myself do it bit as I wanted to want to do it and felt physically ready.
Since 6 weeks pp we’ve done it 3/4 a week x
Since birth which was 4.5 months ago , we done it probably 10 times 😂 not because we wouldn’t want to but there is just no time or energy with 2 kids 😭 I had emergency c section
Took me 6 months after an uncomplicated very routine c section. I have an understanding fiancé obviously, but even now it’s just not on my mind ever😅
