Sex after giving birth??

Question

It’s been 4 weeks since I had my baby. Did anyone not wait the full 6 weeks till havin sex again? Or should I wait the full 6 weeks

Answer

You should wait the full six weeks. Now is not the time to be in the hospital with an infection.

Answer

Wait for the six weeks and til you get cleared by your doctor.

Answer

...we only made it 6 days when we had our kids 🤣

Answer

Ive had 3 kids, always did it in the middle of the 3rd week because thats when my bleeding would stop. No infections at all. But use lube, & go slow, only if you're ready for sex then go for it.

Answer

🙋‍♀️.....and not because I'm stupid or nasty. Drs advise 6 week's because of birth control! Not because of risk of infection or healing, obviously unwise to have sex while you're bleeding and cervix is still open allowing bleeding. But because you are highly fertile and can get pregnant which isn't ideal for your body that has not yet been able to recover from growing a human, they say no sex till 6wpp check up so you can get birth control. Your cervix closes back up pretty soon after birth, and is once again the protective barrier for your uterus, no nasties can get in. It also doesn't take a full 6 weeks for you internal wounds to heal either. 
My first was stillborn midpregnancy, I only bled for 1.5weeks pp, and had sex about 2 weeks post partum (with a condom). My second born 7weeks prem via c-section, I bled for 2 weeks, had sex about a week after that(with condom), first period 14weeks post birth. My 3rd, born 10weeks early, caesarean again (non emergent), bled 4 week's, had sex around the 6w pp mark(with condom), I was to stressed out and after a 70hour labour, complicated caesarean, 4day pp stay, and bub in a NICU 1.5hours drive away, I was exhausted before that. First period was 8weeks pp. Then last bub, miscarriage at 13w3d, bled for 10days after, ovulated 2 weeks later, period 2 weeks after that, had sex 13days after he was born(with condom). After my 3rd I actually did speak with the dr openly, and he said that it is safe to do after you stop bleeding, whenever you feel ready, so 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I was cleared by my OB at 2 1/2 weeks but everyone is different. Please wait until you’re cleared.

Answer

You need a pelvic examination before sex

Answer

I had sex after 3 weeks.
We were careful and took it slow. My doctor didn't see any issues with it as I was recovering really well.
I think there's valid reasons why you shouldn't but my husband is too hot so I couldn't help myself 🤣🤣

Answer

For the love!!!! Have common sense, listen to the dr and WAIT!!!! It is irresponsible and reckless to your health not waiting. Infection infection infection!!!
