Has anyone had sex before their six-week pp check-up after they had their baby?

You can but the advice is there for a reason. Youâre body needs time to heal and you could open yourself up to infection that could come with many other problems. Each to their own but I donât think itâs worth the risk of infection or pregnancy.
Yes, & had another baby 9 months later.
We had sex 3 1/2 post partumâŚit wasnât bad, just extremely uncomfortable. Would highly recommend waiting until atleast 5 weeks!

You have a gaping open wound inside your uterus from your placenta. You definitely donât want an infection or to hemorrhage. You might feel ok on the outside but the inside is definitely not healed regardless of c-section or vaginal birth.

I wouldnât recommend it. itâs a murder scene afterwards. But if you ever wanted to then Always be protected unless you want another baby straight away and be careful of infections x
Who would want to have sex right after giving birth? 
I donât even know why itâs on the mind after pushing out a 9 pound baby

My ex forced me 2 weeks after and it was horrible and painful. I wouldnât. There are other things you can do without putting anything inside you to still feel sexual pleasure. And doctors say not to do it. Never had a doc say âitâs okâ I have had 3 children.

My obgyn said i was okay after 2wks and i got an infection after my first baby. So after that i have always waited 6wks+
My friend got caught immediately when she had sex after her little one. They do say 6 weeks to let everything get back to normal and to stop infections that could cause permanent damage. I had stitches so it was months before I had sex again. X
No⌠you have a huge wound inside of you⌠youâre told 6 weeks for a reason

That is how you end up with babies 10 mo apart.
You need time to heal. Do Not feel guilty or allow yourself to be coerced.

You can. I did. But itâs best to let your body heal without putting anything in it. The 6 weeks is a crucial healing process for the inside of your body. But to each their own! I did every time.

I had sex 4.5-5 weeks after I delivered . Before my 6 week check up. Hormones were crazy⌠it def hurt more than normal and I realized I shouldâve waited a little longer, but no super long lasting side effects or anything terrible happening .
People do but I wouldnât. If you had a c-section then I would wait a month or more. It actually takes almost 6 months for your body to heal after giving birth. I waited 6 months after my daughter was born.

My ob gyn told me as long as I wasnât bleeding anymore I should be fine, but make sure to use protection because youâre fertile as heck. Bleeding needs to stop to prevent infection. My ex would throw a fit if I didnât the longest he would wait was a week. Barely. Iâm so lucky I never got an infection and thankfully after our 3rd bc of the medicine I had in hospital to get me to stop bleeding I wasnât bleeding anymore but he didnt care if I was bleeding or not. Of course ask your doctor. I asked mine and that was his advice.

You can but you shouldnât. You can get an infection so easy. But I did before the six weeks were up.
What did your doctor say? Iâd listen to a medical professional before Facebook. They know best.
You are at risk of pregnancy, infection etcâŚ
there are alternatives to sex during that short six weeks.
Yes you can but you can definitely also end up like me and find out your pregnant at that 6 week check up

The placenta leaves a hole that needs to heal just blow your man or whatever else and let your body heal. They say it could lead to infection if we donât wait.

Why do that?? They tell u to wait for a reason. U can get infections, pregnant way more easily, and tear. So many reasons to wait six weeks

Yes. One time. I was pregnant at my checkup
As long as youâre arenât bleeding I have only had sex 4 weeks after delivering
Twins would be easier, honestly.
Not to sound rude or anything but am just curious. What could possibly make you want to do it earlier? For me, even at 6 weeks, my insides were still âmashyâ and even the thought of it made me very anxious.
Yes but donât be pressured. Do it when you feel ready. Because though because you have a big scab healing on the inside so infection is always a possible result. Also I have two that are 11 months apart

You can get a really really bad infection that could be deadly. Also your super super fertile. And you have a wound that was the size of a dinner plate inside your body. If your husband/boyfriend is pressuring you do not feel obligated to have sex if you are not ready. He has a hand to take care of it if he canât wait. Plus there might be intense pain
I did end up pg again my 2 kids are exactly 10 month 1 day apart one day 15 other day 16
Yep and got pregnant, would not advise
I waited 8 weeks with my last kiddo just to be sure!
You could, but itâs not a good idea. Wait to make sure youâre completely healed first.
Go ahead let know how that works for youâŚ
All imma sayâŚPlate sized woundâŚ

Iâve done it with all 3 pregnancies. I used a condom everytime so i didnât have babies 10 months apart. I also was done bleeding by 3 weeks and had no tearing or stitches.
I did and almost died. Iâd never do it again. I did at like 1 -2 weeks postpartum bc I did that with all my other kids but this time I didnât get lucky. I got an infection in my uterus from intercourse and weâre both clean from everything, married, and used protection. I started to go down hill fast by the next week and was admitted to the hospital for two weeks on iv meds bc it was really bad.

No I did it which tore stitches and gave me an infection
No do not. You have to heal inside. Doesnât matter how you gave birth, c section or vaginal, stitches or no stitches, bleeding or not bleeding, feeling great or not⌠we ALL take 6 weeks to internally heal that huge dinner sized plate would inside the uterus. Nothing is to be inserted into the vagina, no tampons, nothing⌠for 6 weeks. Thereâs a nasty infection waiting to happen.
Itâs really not a good idea, personally I didnât really tear either but even after 6 weeks it was painful cause I had a small abrasion. Donât let partners push you into it. Not say they areâŚoh but funny enough when you take it away because of health reasons it becomes hard for our spouses and partners to wait that long

There is a reason doctors say NOT to. Justbecausethe outside feels fine, you have a huge plate-sized injury on the inside that is trying to heal. They do not want u to get an infection.

Its not about being fine on the outside, it has to do with that you have a plate sized wound on the inside that needs time to properly heal. Look at it this way, if you get a deep cut on your arm, is your first instinct to go rub mud and dirt in it? By having sex before the 6 weeks youâre allowing possible harmful bacteria to get at that wound on your uterus. Give youâre body time to heal first.
I tried, but I was SO sore and tender down there, it was not at all enjoyable. He liked it tho 
I waited 1 1/2 weeks after a csection.
Definitely donât recommend unless you trust your body. Only you know if youâre ready/ feel okay enough

I mean I guess you could⌠higher risk of infection, your Va-jay is not healed completely, your uterus is still trying to go back into place and the check up is to make sure that is all happening properly. Why not talk to your doctor and tell he or she you can not wait that long and see what they say. Personally I would not and did not because letâs be honest I was not mentally or physically prepared for sex after pushing a baby out of my vagina just to let my man stick his penis up in there to stab around like pirates of the Caribbeanâs Jack sparrow trying to get his damn boat back.
I couldnât face anything like that after either of my boys birth.
Iâm almost 4 weeks pp and Iâm soo ready but I had a second degree tear so I canât even if I wanted to 
. I basically stopped bleeding a little bit before 2 weeks.
I work ob gyn⌠had lady pregnant at her 6wk postpartum visit⌠she had just had twinsâŚ

The doctors tell you to wait for a reason. You are still healing and are at risk of infection. Would wait until your doctor gives you the go ahead
