I waited the amount of time the Dr told me to wait. The fk 
Damn I see the comments and some of y’all not waiting the 6-8 weeks. Must be a younger person thing. I know the dr says about 6 weeks. I guess if you can’t wait that long so be it! I had an episiotomy the first one and no man so that wasn’t an issue. The 2nd child ripped me up and I had stitches so that took care of the wait.
I waited 3 weeks 
i had a c-section so my pelvic floor was actually dysfunctioned just made sex feel like he kept hitting a wall i didnt try again until 6 weeks and it was just a little weird. But it got better. I honestly didnt care what my dr said. But we did use protection. You’re extra fertile after birth
With my oldest my ex husband kept teasing me so we did the naughty 3 weeks PP. With my youngest I didn’t want my ex husband to touch me so I waited alot longer I think around 2 months or more. I left him when my youngest was 3 months old.
6 weeks - you have the rest of your life for sexy time. Let your body finish healing

My first I had a c section. Waited 8 weeks after my doctor said everything was good to go. my second waited for 4 months. C section with both.
After the doc gave the ok at the post birth checkup.
I waited a full month. Dr warned me something about the placenta and how it could cause infection. I also did have a C-section so he was concerned about that as well
Alot longer then 18 days pp let your body heal

Honestly? Six months, had a tramatic birth, post partum anxiety and then moved house. My husband was great and didn’t pressure me and waited til I felt ready
They say 6 weeks, not because of when you feel okay or when your bleeding has stopped… But because you have a dinner plate sized wound inside you where the placenta came away and poses a massive risk of infection

About a year after my first that kid messed me up
You literally have a 10 inch wound inside your body from the placenta detaching. Don’t be dumb. You were told to wait. So wait.

I had 4 kids and to be perfectly honest I never waited more than 3 weeks. 
I’m not saying it was smart but that’s my experience lol
6 weeks due the the massive internal wound you still have from your placenta that is really open and prone to infection

6 weeks with my first, 12 with my second (waited for contraception).
The first 6 weeks are your most fertile. The midwives told me that my partner could sneeze around me and I could fall pregnant
If you’re not planning another baby anytime soon, definitely wait
6 weeks & was on bc so as to not have another baby

I’ve waited different with each child (I’m currently pregnant with number 9). I’ve gone with how comfortable I have felt and also my flow x
The full 6 weeks. I was worried about infection. Women have died or needed emergency hysterectomies from getting an infection from not waiting the 6 weeks to be intimate. It didn’t seem worth risking my life or health over.
I’m 6 weeks pp and I’m afraid to even think about it. I’m barely starting to feel better. It was though healing after having an episiotomy

Whenever you are ready doctors say 6 weeks though x

5 and 1half weeks…it was so long…
I would wait as long as possible. Risks of infection are high at the beginning. It’s not worth the risk. Also risk of getting pregnant again is high for up to 6 weeks after.

This about you and your body, not his needs. You have been through quite an experience, having a child. Your body needs time to heal physically and emotionally * There is not a correct time, It’s when the time is right for you, not him, or anyone else.

It should be 6 weeks as you have an open wound and it can make a new mum very ill and has been known for mums to die. Sorry to be negative but is it really worth taking the risk just to get a leg over.
Slowly after my 6 week check up at the Dr lol
Tried week 3 and hurt too much. Week 5 was perfect
I had a c section with both and was no less than 6 weeks. If I’d gone natural I don’t think I’d of ever had sex again so kudos to all u ladies who went for it so soon after lol
6-8 weeks. There is a large wound in your body that could easily get infected. And not to mention you’re so fertile right now. I wouldn’t even risk it lol

Just a word of warning for u if u plan not to wait I felt fine and had no bleeding 2/3 weeks after the night I went to have sex withy partner I bled right out and it wouldn’t stop bleeding literally like a tap had turned on inside me. My partner had to put me in the bath as the blood loss caused me to pass out and blood was just poring out of me then he had to call an ambulance for me I was in hospital a further 2 weeks because of it I had to have blood transfusions and I nearly died twice so please if the pros tell u to wait please wait and don’t risk it like I did is sex really worth risking your life for?
jesus christ are you trying to get pregnant again already? just wait. theres a reason for it

After the 6 week check. Youve got to give everything inside time to heal . High risk of infection before that.
2 weeks but very gently !! If he has been waiting it will be over Quick !!

It doesn’t matter if you “feel fine”. You literally have a wound the size of dinner plate in your uterus. Postpartum infections aren’t fun. Tell your hubby to rub one out and wait. He’ll be just fine.

We tried at 4 weeks and it was alright but I still was freaked out.

Until you see your OB, and get cleared. To don can cause bleeding to start up again.
