How long after having your baby did you have sex?

Question

Answer

Doc says 6 weeks minimum and after everything that went on down there I fully intend to listen.

Answer

Waiting until I get the clear from my doctor at the 6 week appointment. #1 I'm terrified to even look down there #2 who even has time to think about sex ?

Answer

I only waited 2 weeks after c section. I couldn't handle it. It was comfortable and we took it super easy, but seeing my husband hold our little girl, plus all the added hormones, just made me want to attack him like an animal. Haha I've never cried for sex. Oh, but I did then....

Answer

3 weeks and it was uncomfortable so waited till 4 weeks and used lube and it was back to normal.

Answer

My doctor and my midwife said nothing in the vagina until 6weeks

Answer

Dr said the risk of infection is very high until around 6 weeks. So I'll wait lol Also I read the the cervix can take 6-8 weeks to fully close, which can be grounds for infection and pregnancy when having sex lol
