I’m pretty sure your Dr will tell you wait 6/8 weeks you have to heal inside and trust me that’s not gonna happen in 18 days

I think I waited more like 3-3 1/2 months before I felt ready again for intercourse but we did start messing around about 2 months after.
6-8 weeks…depending on the type of birth.
I only waited 2 weeks but they say 6 weeks
You don’t necessarily have to have sex. There’s other things to please your man

There’s a reason why they say to wait a certain amount of time because there’s a huge bleeding open wound inside of you!

I tried 4 weeks and it hurt so waited the 6 weeks and was fine
For my first kid, we waited six weeks. For my second, we waited two weeks. Third, a few weeks cuz I had a complication
It’s a hard journey but do the 6 weeks as there is a open wound inside

Like 6 weeks I think, you’ve just had your insides stretched to bits, your body needs time to heal
6-8 weeks… Do not stray from the path of abstinence. Just because you feel fine doesn’t mean things are healed internally. It takes time.

There is no set ‘time’ limit. As a midwife I recommend not until you have stopped bleeding and when it feels right/comfortable for you
6 to 8 weeks and unless you want internal infections id not let him have access to your vagina until at least that 6 week mark… you do have other options for sexual pleasure though so its not completely out.

Wait the 6 weeks. Your man can wait for you to heal. Lots of other fun stuff to do without penetration
Omg I’m probably going to wait like 9 weeks 
I’m traumatized from my birth though I can’t even think about sex rn
take it from a man with children literally 1 year and 1 week apart WAIT THE 6 WEEKS nothing will hurt a relationship more than that weight having one is hard enough planned for let alone to repeat it immediately takes a mental toll on any spouse

Please wait 6 weeks. I have seen mamas need stitches again. Its not good. Your cervix takes time to close completely. Bleeding g may stop and start again. Give your body time to heal

Well my first &’ second child are 10 months apart lol
2 weeks with my first two kids I had while I was 19…they are only 10.5 months apart…and 12 years later I waited 8 weeks due to both C- Section & being alot smarter!!
I waited the recommended 6 weeks.
A basic rule of thumb and with some basic common sense is don’t do it if it still hurts.
Whenever you feel your ready

Wait the 6 weeks. There’s a risk of a deadly air embolism if you have sex too soon after birth.

6 weeks is the time period for your body to heal properly after birth! Anything beforehand even a tampon can cause a life threatening infection! Not worth the risk! If you can’t wait than you are risking infection and pregnancy especially because you are 100x more fertile after giving birth! Do yourself a favor and talk to your Obgyn and wait the recommend time!!

Wait the amount of weeks they tell u to. If u dont ur vagina won’t heal as tight as it should & the walls won’t heal as well as they would. This leads to incontinence, weak vaginal walls, risk of uterine infection ect. Even if it doesn’t hurt, even if someone u know did it, DONT. It’s absolutely NOT smart & who wants to run the risk of a lose vagina? I say this as someone who took college courses in this area for fun. Lmao

At least 3 weeks after all mine 
but I was cut and torn so if you didn’t have any of that I guess maybe sooner
My vajaja was off limits for about 3 months but that back door and mouth was open.
You should wait the 6 weeks, you are very fertile and you could get an infection

Why would a man want sex so soon after anyway… It’s not like it’s Gona fall off if he has to wait 6 wks… Any time before he’s a thoughtless jerk… And any woman that can’t wait her 6 wks to heal isn’t any better… There’s a reason u need time to heal…

The placenta leaves a tear in your uterus and if you do it prior to 6 weeks you can get an infection before you are healed.

6 weeks, and the fact that you are posting this, means he is NOT being patient. He needs to get over it. Or I’d make him wait longer. .

Wait until you go for your checkup. Geez he can wait or self service. Don’t they tell you all of this when you go to the classes or after you give birth?

6 weeks is the recommended time to wait until after your post natal check up. I wouldn’t risk it tbh. You could do some damage inside that you may not be aware of. I had 3 c sections not vaginal delivery and even I waited the required time. You came intimate without intercourse.
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. How long did you all wait to have be intimate after birth?
Most doctors recommend 6 weeks or when they decide to release you.

6 weeks is what doctors recommend so you have time to heal!!! And you are very fertile
They make you wait for a reason. And even then, 6 weeks is no where near enough time for your body to heal all the way after what it just went through. Even if there’s minimal pain and bleeding. And infection is a big thing about why they make you wait too.

Even though you are done bleeding you literally still have dinner size plate wound inside you. Infection is the biggest risk. But you can also get pregnant again. Give your self time to heal. Give you hubby a tube of lube and wish him luck.

The risk of infection is very high, as well as pregnancy. Not worth it before 6 weeks.

6 weeks doesn’t matter if you feel fine you have a wound the size of a large dinner plate in your uterus from placental attachment.

Hubby can keep waiting. It’s supposed to be 6 weeks.
6 weeks per docs advice
I was told wait 6 weeks nothing internal. I had a c section so I admit, I took advantage of a loophole 2 weeks in. But no actual sex or anything inside until 6 week appointment!
You’ll be pregnant at your six week check up lol

Your uterus literally has a wound that is the sized of a dinner plate. By the way your bleeding may start and stop for awhile.

I waited until like 8 weeks and even then it hurt some and we had to go slow… I bruised a lot after my daughter’s birth and she was a big baby so I wasn’t really excited to start having sex again lol
The 6 weeks your Dr most likely suggested. I’d wait. Infection is not fun in the downstairs area!!!

3 months by choice. I was cleared at about 6 weeks
It’s an open wound. Please wait until they give you the ok!
6 weeks, at a minimum. Your bleeding may have stopped, but you are still very prone to infection and pregnancy, both of which could be life-threatening. It isn’t worth leaving your current child(ren?) and husband for, IMO.

Be protected cause you are still very fertile still. That’s why they recommend waiting. Not cause it’s harmful to you physically. Can’t. Plus it is harder to recover vaginally, Watch the precut, but anal ejacutaltion might be ok.
Wait until your 6 weeks checkup. There is a reason doctors say this. The wound is still open and HUGE and can very easily get an infection that goes straight into your circulatory system/blood, Sepsis!!! Infection of the blood… Life threatening!!! infection is the big reason to wait until the doctor says you are properly healed. Your little baby needs a mommy. NOT worth the risk!

Within 2 weeks after my first😬 don’t judge, my next child came almost 4 years after…
6 weeks is preferred by doctors , I wiat til bleeding stopped. I have 5 kids as well. All of them our 2 to 4 years apart though so no back to back pregnancies either. Just use protection
Definitely should wait 6 weeks! You don’t want or need an infection
