Pretty sure your doctor said 6 weeks. He or she didnât say that just to waste oxygen. Wait. 6. Weeks.

I was told by my Dr after delivery, that I could resume my sex life whenever I wanted to(not tearing or stitches for me). I think I waited about 10 days. Not problems at all. I was told the same thing after my c-section(2 years later, I think we made it 2 weeks after that one). The most important thing is to listen to your body and stop if there is any pain.

Donât do it. Air can be pushed into the wound left by the placenta and can result in an embolism.
Not judging but omg that was the last thing in my mind lol I just wanted to sleep lol

Your placenta has left a huge wound inside of you so you may be âhealedâ on the outside but youâre not on the inside.

It has nothing to do with your chances of getting pregnant again. Or if you had stitches or tearing.
It has to do with the placenta sized hole you have and the very high risk of infection.
You may of course feel ready but in reality you are not.
Id wait the recommended 6 weeks!
If you are still unsure from the contradictions in responses, speak to your Healthcare professional.
Theyâll explain exactly why you should wait.
Congratulations on your new bundle.

I done it 2 weeks postpartum with my second. I didnât know it could cause infections though, and even though I felt ready it still hurt.

My doctor said to wait at least 4 weeks before having sex
Just because you feel good and had an âeasyâ delivery doesnât mean you donât have a dinner plate size wound where your placenta was attached. The risk of infection wasnât worth it to me and I waited 6 weeks after all three births.

Iâd say it will hurt really bad. I was ready at 3 but it hurt too much I couldnât do it.
Though you may feel fine on the outside, you are still healing internally & this can cause bad infections.
Just because you can technically does not mean you should.

I would avoid actual intercourse, as the risk of infection is super high.
BUT, thereâs nothing wrong with some good ol making out, that ends in an Ođ
I was ready the next day after having a c section
I felt like I could like 2 days after ahahah âŚbut I just waited 4 weeks
Infection!!! Oh Lordâ:woman_facepalming:t3:
plus the risk of getting pregnant again is super high and if a baby implants on the inside of your body that hasnât settled back into position yet youâre in for some real troubles.

No, and youâre not ready either.
There is a huge open wound in your uterus. IDC how many pushes it took you to give birth 
Do a simple google search and start being a little more responsible. Youâre a parent now ffs.

Honestly my doctor told me whenever your body feels ready to go for it just to be very cautious and careful. I to had no stitches no Ripâs all natural births no complications whatsoever and I only bled for a few hours after birth I was ready for sex within 2 weeks easily on all three of my birth and I had no problems or issues when I did, you know your body better than anybody else

Just wait. Just because you didnât tear doesnât mean your giant open wound on your uterus is healed enough to deal with sex.

They say wait 6 weeks. Most donât. You know there is risk of infection and pregnancy, use than information and make an informed decision that best suits you and your body.
On another note - I didnât want anyone even breathing in my direction two weeks PP w either child, let alone having sex.

Even after the 6 weeks I didnât even want my husband cuddling with me lol but you should wait. Like everyone else has said your risk of infection is super high not to mention you could get pregnant again
please just do what your doctor says and wait 6 weeks. It is not that hard to refrain from sex. Control your urges allow your body to heal you just gave birth to a human body out of your own body. You might not have gotten stitches and think that your superwoman but your uterus and vagina has just gone through a train wreck. Youâre either going to end up pregnant right away or you going to have some type of infection or bleeding issues⌠seriously how many times has this question been asked and how many times does it have to be answered. And last but not least stop going to Facebook listen to your damn doctor!
Itâs very easy to get pregnant after having a baby so be careful
Why are so many people bashing her?? She asked a simple honest question which is the reason this group exists! She should definitely wait, if she wants to be safe⌠but having that good of a relationship with her significant other to where she feels that close to him right after giving birth is amazing. Good for her. Wait to be safe but good for you!

Itâs up to you,most dr recommend waiting the full 6weeks but will tell you that if youâre ready and feel comfortable then to go ahead. When I and my first son,we started messing around the first week,but didnât have actual sex till week 2. We were fine,and then we got married and had our honeymoon before the 6weeks mark,I had my PP appt moved up to week 4cause that very next weekend was my honeymoon dr cleared me for all activity. But I was already having sex before then lol. Just depends on your body,and how you feel.
Thatâll end you up with another one⌠lmfao ask me how I know (I also waited the 6 weeks because I had to have a c section and was put back on birth control - very in-affective for me lol)
I did LOL one 12 days after, one 10 days after
Girl, you just has a baby.et your vaginal heal damn.
Lmfao no. Thatâs why your doctor says NO at the beginning, Jesus. 
you have an open wound in your vagina regardless of tearing
When you have a baby and the placenta comes out it is literally an open wound in the womb and the cervix takes 6 weeks to snapback to place too so its open for infection. Its all about infection really⌠best to listen to medical advice I would think! Sorry

Thereâs other ways to get an O without risking a very bad infection that could possibly kill you, leaving your child without a mother. Which is more important⌠getting an O or raising your child?

Wait. The doctors used to say 30 days. You need to heal.
Why is it so hard for people to wait six weeks for sex? There is a reason the dr tells you to wait 6 weeks.

I waited almost 2-3 months after each of my kids were born to have marital relations
Itâs whatever you feel is what your body can handle, obviously take it easy because your insides are still trying to heal (which is why doctors say 6 weeks!)
even if you feel like your healed!
No. The risk of infection is too high. You have a gaping open wound inside your uterus where your placenta was. It is about the size of a dinner plate. It takes 6 weeks to be sure you are healed inside completely.

I had sex at 3 weeks PP. if youâre not comfortable/in pain during it just speak up. Iâm sure theyâll understand.

I definitely wouldnât want to risk it⌠Itâs not the tearing or the stitches you only need to be worried about, but your cervix and risk of infection. Your cervix is not healed after only 2 weeks. Also you are extremely fertile after having a baby⌠I ended up having my daughter very close together with my other daughter, I got pregnant two months after I had her, so basically at my 8 week mark I ended up pregnant again. I waited the 6 for most, but I believe maybe after 4 weeks I did with one of mine. My doctor said when my bleeding has stopped and if it isnât horribly uncomfortable, but if it hurt to the point you couldnât stand it, to not then.

Itâs not about your vagina ITS ABOUT YOUR UTERUS. your placenta leaves a DINNER PLATE sized wound behind once it detaches that is totally open to infection. You are also extremely fertile.

Donât,wait at least another 2 weeks,for your own sake cause infection is bond to happen.You are taking a chance ,do whatâs best for your body.
I was given the okay at 5 weeks.
Just because you didnât tear, doesnât mean youâre healed after only 2 weeks. I didnât tear with my daughter but was still advised 6 weeks no sex. Thereâs a reason doctors tell you to wait six weeks. Youâre at a higher risk for infection due to the plate sized âwoundâ left behind in the uterus from your placenta. Not to mention youâre EXTREMELY fertile.
Then again, your body, your choice.

Yes. I had twins. Knew it was risky and used protection. I think we waited 3 weeks. And it was great! Take it slow but if youâre ready, go for it!
Donât, The reason why Dr. say six weeks postpartum is because there is a open wound inside your uterus of the size of paper plate where your placenta was

You have a dinner plate sized open wound in your uterus, best to wait at least 6 weeks for that to heal. No matter how good you feel, itâs not worth the risk of infection.

You have a wound inside of you there is a great risk of infection. You might seem fine but inside your uterus there is a big wound!

Jesus, no! Just because a bunch of idiots on this post decided they know better than doctors and they got lucky, doesnât mean you will. You have an open wound inside your uterus no matter how many pushes you needed, and your cervix is still hanging open, giving bacteria plenty of room to get up to that wound, and give you a potentially serious infection. Be an adult and wait.

Idk how you could dare want to. The urge wasnât there for at least a month for myself personally.
Give it 6 weeks to prevent infection
We waited 2.5/3 weeks and it wasnât as terrible as i imagined but was uncomfortable the first time or two. Also youâre more prone to get pregnant again so be extra careful, unless thatâs your intention.
I did. It was fine. Iâve had six kids. Just be careful
At the end of the day itâs your body. You may regret it though.
