Sex before 6 weeks! Why??? *Rant.

I just want to know why so many women are having sex days to 2 weeks pp, before 6 weeks. Why not just wait until you are cleared by your Dr, your cervix is closed, there isn't a high risk of infection, etc. I'm not sure why the posts about this bother me a little. You just had a baby, that's a lot of trauma. Let your body heal.

One post specifically sparked this because the poster had said her husband mentioned he was in the mood and wanted to have sex, she was like 1.5 weeks pp or something crazy like that. Seriously?? Tell your husband to jerk off. That's crazy. I'm soon to be 5 weeks pp and haven't even thought about sex until I'm cleared. If my husband said he was in the mood I'd be like "......and?". I grew and birthed our child with my body. I'm now feeding that child with my body, which has been a hell of a time. My boobs hurt, their not yours, don't touch them. Not to mention I feel kind of gross with all the changes and I'm touched out having a baby connected to me all the time. I need some time. I'm not concerned about how his penis feels. His oe n is didn't push put a 8+lb baby.

I just feel that we have the right to wait as long as we need and we should be at least waiting until we are cleared to have intercourse. Messing around, oral or whatever, okay cool, sure, but intercourse should be cleared by a dr. We need ro properly take care of our bodies. If you wanna have sex 2 weeks after you gave birth, go ahead. But it's not safe and no one should feel pressured by their partner. Its our body and we are in control. Sorry, just my opinion.

End Rant.
