6 weeks, intimate. 6 months, back to normal.
They don’t tell you to wait to spoil your fun… it’s because of risk of infection, damage etc… just wait till your checkup, it won’t kill you

Different times with different kids…i have 6…i always wait for the bleeding to stop it could cause an infection…with my last, 7 weeks…tried before that but it hurt bad. I also stopped bleeding at 2 weeks and started bleeding badly again at 4 weeks. Can do other things though… I wiated 3 weeks with my 2nd and at my 6 well check up i was pregnant
The risk of infection is too high. Wait until your postpartum doctor appointment

The 6 weeks is because even if you don’t hurt or aren’t bleeding, there’s an open wound in your uterus the size of a dinner plate from your placenta being attached and your cervix is healing from reducing after growing exponentially and everything else is healing from micro tears in tissue.

They suggest 6 weeks for infection reasons. I ripped with my son. We tried at 4 weeks…husband got caught by a stitch…five seconds in. We waited another 2 weeks and got all clear from Dr.

2 weeks lol couldn’t wait.
I had a c-section and only waited about 4 weeks because I felt I was up to it and everything was fine. It really depends on how you feel. If you’re feeling ready, I don’t think you’ll have any problems but if you’re not sure, I’d wait until you were… Everyone’s bodies deal with things differently so if you’re feeling okay, you shouldn’t have to wait the whole 6 weeks.
Wait the 6 weeks so you don’t get an infection.
I waited about 2 weeks
Very slow and gentle. It was slightly uncomfortable, but I enjoyed it.
To go from having daily sex to only doing “other things” was pretty rough.
I made sure to clean well, use a condom and clean well afterwards too to reduce the risk of infection.
3 weeks- c section- my doctor Told me that there isn’t a rule anymore it’s all in how I feel
Couldn’t be on the Internet and phone at the same time.
6 weeks is the RECOMMENDED but you could make an appt with your ob sooner and get the go ahead 🤷 my dr told me they only say 6 weeks cause thats when they check your uterus but if you had stitches and they’re healed and have no pain then go for it but definitely visit the dr first and make sure everything with your lady bits is good even if it isnt 6 weeks
You can right now. Just take it slow, no roughing up
You need to wait 6 weeks minimum. Your uterus is an open wound and you risk getting an infection if you have sex sooner.

Some people don’t wait as long as the dr says, and are okay. HOWEVER, that is not always the case. It is best to wait till ob gives you the all clear, as there is serious complications that can happen!
Not sure if you have stitches but its very unlikely you will enjoy it if you decide to before you’re healed. Plus they can come open or get infection
I waited 5-6 weeks with all 4 kids
Your uterus is essentially an open wound after delivery. 6 weeks is the standard of care to give your body the time it needs to recover from the trauma of birth. So many women get postpartum infections from having intercourse before the recommended timeframe. While it is rare some women can get sepsis from the infection. Sepsis is potentially deadly. Please follow your doctors instruction!

Til I wanted to. About 4 weeks
If you gave birth vaginally, you really should wait the 6 to 8 weeks. Just because you stop bleeding and feel fine, you still basically have a big gaping wound down there and risk an infection. Especially at 3 weeks.
There’s other ways to be intimate than vaginal sex

6-8 weeks. Depending if you have tearing.
You’re going against medical advice and putting yourself in danger with your health. It’s not a joke, but you can do what you wish.
I waiting until I stop bleeding. I stop at 3 weeks. Its really up too you.

After my first 6 months… this 2nd one that happened 4 days ago I most likely will wait it out till I’m ready probably 6 months I like to get to my pre pregnancy weight and be somewhat rested and feel decent . Why rush something like that?
I waited 6 weeks. It’s good to wait because when the placenta detaches it creates a wound. Having sex before it heals can cause an infection. Even if you stopped bleeding.

6 weeks. Fucking isn’t worth a major infection. You can both get off without vaginal penetration. Be smart.
Like 3-4 months probably. I just didn’t until I felt well enough to get into it again? Idk. I didn’t wait for a specific time period or put pressure on it I guess. Everyone is different. But I think you’re supposed to wait at least 6 weeks to avoid infection while your uterus and vaginal area are healing.

Ooo I’m 11 days PP and horny like WOW but imma wait the 6 weeks cause the trauma was real and the pain afterwards was crazy so I dont wanna risk anything by sexing it up too soon plus the waiting is gonna make it so worth it when my doc gives me the okay. Just sitting next to my husband sets me on fire. Gotta be soooooo careful cause I aint looking to have number 4:rofl:

I had an emergency c-section my first pregnancy and I had sex after only 2 weeks. I mean it was gentle obviously, but I just couldn’t wait.
Theres a reason the doctor makes you wait those weeks before having intercourse. Theres a giant wound where your placenta used to be that is still healing even tho you may not be bleeding anymore anf its very easy for it to get infected

I have a 6 month old we waited till he was 3 and a half months i had a c section and had really bad bleeding up till then
4 weeks after I had c-section with my kiddos
I would follow drs orders, but just because you can’t have sex doesn’t mean you can’t be intimate in other ways. But I would still check with your dr first.

I had 4th degree lacerations after giving birth to my first, sunny side up! The skin between the vagina and rectum was gone! I was torn in 8 directions and couldn’t stand straight up for 5 days! I went home on the 3rd day and my spouse REQUIRED intercourse upon arriving home. He had to have it daily, no matter what my complaints were.
You need to wait until your doctor clears you to have sex again. Why would you want to risk an infection?

I waited 3 days. But I had a csection and healed super fast
5 wks both times. I told the dr cause I felt guilty and she said they say 6 wks because of the hole left from the placenta needs to heal and most ppt visits are 6 wks out so that’s when they clear you for sex they don’t actually go in and check to see if your healed but they ask lots of questions and feel your stomach and make a good assumption your healthy and ready to have sex again. She didn’t tell me exactly how long it needs to heal but my guess is they didn’t pull 6 weeks out of their asses
I would wait till ur fully healed so u don’t get infection.

Wait until your doctor says you’re good… or risk an infection. 
Maybe it will inhibit you from having anymore children, which, honestly if you can’t control yourself like a grown ass adult for a freakin month or more, you really don’t need to be having anyway.

You have a gaping wound inside your uterus. Whether you delivered vaginally or via c section. You may have stopped bleeding. But your uterus has not fully healed until 6 weeks PP. Wait. For the love of all things. Wait until you’re cleared by the doctor. Unless you want to risk festering infection in your uterus. Than by all means… Take tub baths and have sex prior to the 6 week mark.

My doctor this time around (3rd babe) said 14 to 16 weeks. First time around my previous doc (Rest In Peace) said 8 weeks, and my second time I never made it to the follow up, doctor dropped me as a patient because I complained about how unprofessional he was, he didnt attend the birth, or post birth check up in the hospital and the other doctor was booked full.

I waited 8 weeks. I was not about that life and neither was he thank the lord. We just shared intimacy by caresses and snuggling. Honestly cemented our bond even further. It was worth the wait

It’s not advised to have sex before 6weeks as you have an open wound where your placenta was and that is a huuuuge risk for infection x
Please wait the 6 weeks! Like mentioned above, you have a gaping hole inside you and if air gets pushed inside while having sex you could get air in your system. Air Embolism, causing strokes seizures and possibly death! Not worth it honey!!
I waited 3 days after my csection with my third. If u feel uncomfortable stop but if it feels ok it’s down to u. I don’t trust everything doctors say but that’s me xx

For medical safety reasons, you should try your hardest to wait 6-8 weeks. I managed to get to 3 weeks 
The 6 weeks. And it hurt like a bitch
We tried again a few weeks later and it still hurt pretty bad. It was about 3.5 months before sex felt good again.
I didn’t wait long either, maybe two weeks. With all 3 of my children, I did not deliver naturally any of these 3 times though.

Everyone’s different, sure you should wait. But you do what you want to do. Just take it easy when your doing it. Your body will tell you if somethings wrong
Honestly. Wait. Until the medical professionals clear you. Be intimate in other ways. What everyone else is saying, healing body, infection risk etc etc
I thought I was ready and had sex around 3 weeks pp. We were gentle, did all the right things. My stitches had dissolved but I wasn’t fully healed in my tear and it Caused another tear which got infected and ended up with a painful keloid scar. My daughter is 8, and sex is still painful a lot of the time because of this…
There are so many things you can do to be intimate that don’t involve putting things in your vagina…

That’s a question for your doctor, not Facebook. T. M. I
Six weeks. Because there is a reason they tell you to wait six weeks. Why would you ignore your doctor’s advice and come on the internet looking for a better opinion?
Don’t let your husband put anything in your open wound for at least six weeks or until your ob says you’re all good.

She literally just asked a question which I’m pretty sure is what this group is for and probably not for you to just be a bunch of snarky mean moms making someone feel dumb for no reason. Obviously listen to your doctor , but rather than simply saying “ you should wait” you question her ability to reproduce based on a QUESTION that she just … didn’t know the exact answer to. Most of you are hateful and quite frankly for the most hateful one to be a top fan is enough for me to be leaving this group. Sounds like some of you might need a little sum sum yourselves🙄
