You have an open, dinner-sized plate on the inside of your body. Your body isn’t healed yet which is why they recommend at least waiting the six weeks

Just be patient and wait 6 -8 weeks your dr tells you!!! There’s a reason why she tells you that. What’s more important… sex or an infection that could turn life threatening?!
Because you just had a baby.

Your suppose to wait 6 to 8 weeks as even tho you have had a C section your uterus is still open

Pelvic floor muscles are weak. It happens because the baby weight puts stress on everything
4 weeks maybe too early for you. Everyone’s body heal differently. I was 4 weeks postpartum from all 3 of my csections when I did with my husband. I was fine though.

The fact that you’re only 4 weeks postpartum is why it hurts… you gotta wait 6-8 weeks it doesn’t matter that it was 6 section your pelvic floor still went through hell.

The reason it was painful is because you haven’t allowed yourself enough time to heal. Despite having a c-section, you still have an open wound inside of your body and an incision as well. There’s a reason why the doctors tell you to refrain from sexual activity for 6-8 weeks.
And btw… I have to ask… why on earth did you even want to??? Ugh, I had no interest that early on…

Most likely it’s a pelvic floor issue. It could also be stress, pressure on the surgery site, etc. you can try putting something around the site (think corset). Also maybe have a doctors visit to check everything. I had doctors permission after 7 days but that’s not always the case.

Poor pelvic floors. Try doing kegals. I had a C-section and it took me 12 weeks for sex not to hurt.
Because your cervix was still prepared for natural birth.

That’s because you just had a baby and a major surgery. You are supposed to wait a minimum of 6-8 weeks after childbirth/delivery. Just because you had a cesarean doesn’t mean that it didn’t effect your cervix, uterus and pelvic floor.

You don’t state your age…but maybe your hormones are not back to normal and you’re dry. Many moms are back to normal within a few weeks…including me.
It’s been a year today for me and still hurts. (Also a c-section) Probably a pelvic floor issue. But also at 4 weeks your insides are not healed. They say 6 weeks no matter how you delivered for a reason.

They tell you 6-8 weeks for a reason. I had sex at 6 weeks pp. granted women are able to have it at 4 weeks but not everyone is the same so essentially they say 6-8 for that reason.
The baby you gave birth to 4 weeks ago is the cause ahahaha

Your whole area still dilates and loses a whole lot of blood even with a c-section. You’ve also just had surgery there so the area will be bruised and tender for a while.

Holy cow 4 weeks after a c section. And I thought I was brave. You do know sex is the #1 cause of getting pregnant right? I would wait longer only because you had a c section qnd could easily get pregnant again.

They say to wait untill you are cleared for a reason…
Your vagina still dilated and went thru the motion of having a baby. The drs give you a time frame for a reason. And then on top of having a c-section 
I can’t even imagine the pain. Your husband can wait. Your ‘urges’ can wait. Your body just went thru something traumatic and needs time to heal.
If your breastfeeding that also contributes to the pelvic contracting as well as tummy muscles, and it is normal regardless of natural or c section delivery for ur v-jayjay to hurt

It doesn’t matter that you had a c-section. The reason they say 8 weeks is because you need to heal from the gigantic hole the placenta leaves. Also the c-section incision also needs at least 8 weeks to heal from.

You still have a large open wound inside of you even if you delivered by c section. The risk of infection is still quite high until the 6-8 week mark.
Your body is working to heal itself. I assume that it hurt to have sex because your muscles are slowly working to contract back down, but not a Dr. So it’s only an assumption.
Your supposed to wait 6 weeks!
With A c section u have internal stitches, as well as external, but please be very careful as you could rupture the internal stitches, male and females have different needs as to intercourse

Because theres a massive wound in your uterus so everything connected to it is sensitive and inflamed. Its pretty reckless to have sex 4 weeks post c section you could get a reallyyyyyy bad infection
Umm you shouldn’t be having sex
I know your doctor sent you home with paperwork on top of explaining everything to you like they’ve done to everyone. You either didn’t listen or read over your papers from the hospital. Even google would tell you, C-section or not you can’t have sex for at least 6 weeks. Delivering vaginally has nothing to do with the reason behind why you shouldn’t be having sex before 6 weeks. You have a huge wound where the placenta was attached in there that still had to come out via c section. Which still left the same wound.
Because you still have an open wound in your uterus

6 to 8 weeks to wait for this reason
Use other methods
Everything is going to take time to heal. I took 12 weeks… I’m currently now taking another 12 weeks after a hysterectomy. Look at a YouTube video of what your body just endured and you will be more patient with yourself. As should your husband.
Probably because you should wait 2 more weeks. I didn’t and it was painful.
We clean the vagina to make sure no clots are left behind so that lochia can flow out of the uterus well.
Because your still healing even when you didn’t give birth vaginally it’s needs sometime, go see a doctor
Because it’s not just about your vagina. It’s your uterus, pelvic floor, bladder, everything inside just wen through a traumatic experience. You should absolutely wait to have sex until you’re cleared by a dr. No means no if he thinks he deserves it.
You are hurting yourself. No sex for 8 weeks, means just that! The placenta detach area needs time to heal! Explain this to your man, I’m sure he will understand🙂
Pelvic floor disfunction. Find a PT who specializes in pelvic floor issues.
Your uterus is still healing, there was a lot of stress on your body and pressure in your pelvic area even with a c section. Wait another few weeks. It may still be painful then because your body is adjusting but hopefully you’ll be healed at that point. If you’re BF, it can make you really dry as well.
Why TF would you even try? He should be ashamed for even suggesting you do anything. You are the mother of his child. This could cause a severe infection to your body. Doesn’t matter how you actually gave birth. That whole area is sore for a reason. I have had c-section and natural births. They 6 weeks for a reason. Dear Lord. Smh

Ummm…. You’re honestly lucky you’re not hemorrhaging… they tell you to abstain from sex for a MINIMUM of 6 weeks vaginal delivery. CS can take 8+ weeks to get the go ahead and even then still extra painful until your uterus can actually heal/scar tissues calm down.

Too early to have sex… Took 9 months of change for ur body & somehow we’re supposed to heal completely in 6 weeks??? Doesn’t work like that
Well maybe bc ur not supposed to be having sex. You have a DINNER SIZED PLATE OPEN WOUND INSIDE OF YOU. So much risk of infection and also,4 weeks??? You’re probably still bleeding out ur hooter! Give that thing a rest
Wait a little longer and when do it again go slow and don’t be afraid to use lubricant. Your insides will be sore still for a while. You can do kegal exercises until then to help your body strengthen again and it can help too.
Even after my 6 weeks it still hurt and that’s when lube became my best friend

I made the mistake of having sex too early; it felt like pins and needles. We waited a few more weeks and everything was fine. Regardless of how you give birth you still have injuries to your cervix and vagina from your body preparing for birth. All will be well in a few weeks.
Well you’re supposed to wait until six weeks for a reason

Having intercourse 4 weeks post parting is what causes that…. 
And you had a c section so you DEFINITELY shouldn’t be having sex already.
That’s way too soon. Your body is still recovering. Owwies!

Yeah it’s because you’re having sex before you’re cleared. You don’t have to deliver vaginally for it to hurt lol
Ok I literally waited for the bleeding to stop and I was fine. I delivered vaginally all 3 times. I’d be willing to wager the difference is the surgical incision and surrounding abdominal trauma is radiating thru that entire area. Especially if your partner wasn’t exactly gentle enough.

Your vag still dilates even if you have a c section, usually just a bit. But regardless sex hurts after a c section too, your stomach muscles are obliterated. Still supposed to wait 6 weeks or until cleared

You shouldn’t be having sex yet until you get the doctors okay at your 6 week appt. A C-section is MAJOR SURGERY. It’s DANGEROUS to have sex afterwards without the doctor checking you and giving you the green light. You’re not healed enough, that’s what hurts.
Is this page trolling the people following it? This is the second stupid “fan question” I’ve seen.
