Has anyone had sex postpartum yet?

Question

How long did you wait? I know there is a taboo behind not waiting until 6 weeks, but I can't imagine that everyone does wait that long!

Answer

I’m pretty sure it’s more than a taboo - you need time to heal!

Answer

It's not taboo. You can get an infection. You're still needling. That's why doctors don't recommend it. 
I'm fine with the waiting. With my first i was so sore we waited like 3 months. And it was still painful

Answer

With my first I waited around 9 weeks. With my second we waited 3. I had stopped bleeding, my stitches were out, there was no pain, and lets be honest..i was horny as hell. 
Im currently 3 weeks pp now and thats not happening. My stitches are still in. I might wait 6 weeks this time lol

Answer

I want it really bad but I'm too scared lol plus I'm only 9 days postpartum

Answer

With my first I waited till closer to 10/11 weeks. I was not ready for it! We tried at 6 weeks but it was super sore

Answer

As much as I’d love a set of Irish twins, my 2nd degree tear is definitely worth healing more than getting it in right now. 6days pp

Answer

I meant to put No! Your body needs time heal even if you were a c-section. You don’t want to increase chance of infection.

Answer

Definitely waiting the full 6 weeks here. Not risking it

Answer

It was terrified of how it was going to fell (pain/discomfort) the first time after giving birth. I waited a little longer than six weeks because of that.

Answer

With my first I waited the 6 weeks
With my second I healed really fast or at least it felt like it and I had sex at 1 week pp no clue how I was not bleeding or what I was thinking. It didn’t hurt and felt great but I should have waited.
