They say 6 weeks because your very fertile after giving birth and you have a high risk of infection… I waited 7 weeks until my doctor said it was okay AND I got my IUD…

They tell you not to because you could have a pulmonary embolism and die.

I definitely wouldn’t I know some do and I know a lot get pregnant… not to mention your cervix is open and you risk getting an infection by sticking anything up there…

Wait the six weeks, bleeding may have stopped but that doesn’t mean you are healed and your cervix doesn’t close in two weeks. Which brings even more risk of infection. There are other ways to still be intimate that don’t involve putting your body through something that could be a huge risk

My first time after was about a week (after my 3rd, 4th and 5th.) I was already done bleeding and it didnt hurt. Was a tad more sore after my 5th but it wasnt unbearable. But everyone says that was crazy to do so idk 
Listen to your doctor.
I was too scared to try before the 4 weeks was up! It hurt just to walk up until then! I can not imagine after only 2 weeks.

There’s a reason doctors tell you these things. Idk why people take it upon themselves to do what they want just because they feel better. I know several people who didn’t listen and were pregnant by their 6 week follow up. I also know someone who got an infection. Like come on, you seriously can’t go 6 weeks without sex?

Go by how you feel. I’ve waited 2-8 weeks between my 4 kids. Sometimes it caused my bleeding to start up again and other times I noticed nothing. They recommend this to give your body a break… giving birth is considered major trauma (down there) and you do need to make sure you take measure to assure it heals well. Just be cautious.
Wait. HONEY JUST WAIT.

WAIT it’s about the infection risk
There is a reason they say wait. Look up the size of the wound in your belly after birth…you need time to heal. It’s not just cause your bleeding.

Fuck that i waited months and months lol no Thank you!
It’s mostly because your uterus is healing. I mean, an organ just got ripped out of it. 
Lol! It takes approximately 6 weeks for your uterus to heal where your placenta once was.
**If you tore, your stitches also need about 4 weeks to heal, as well.

You still have an open wound on your uterus from your placenta detaching…risk for infection

If you don’t want to wait (can’t blame you lol) at least use a condom. Just to avoid any infection and ,of course, another pregnancy, unless you like having two children less than a year apart… lol
They tell you to wait bc your insides are healing. 
Plus, you’re HIGHLY likely to get pregnant within that time frame.
There’s other ways to get off if you really can’t wait, but why risk it?

The risk for infection was enough to make me wait until my dr okayed it!
The risk of introducing infection into a healing vagina is huge.
They recommend 6-8 weeks for a reason. Probably best to listen to trained medical professionals opposed to random people on fb

Years ago My midwives told me my body would be healed with 11 days of birth if I wanted to have sex.
I didn’t…it seemed impossible to me to be healed.
But they insist it’s the truth. Lol
Should wait your still healing

Wait the 6 weeks like the dr said. Your body has to have time to heal with something like childbirth.

Your medically trained doctor doesn’t tell you shit just to hear him/herself talk.
How do you even have the drive to? After being pregnant, giving birth, healing, caring for an infant and a 4 n 8 year old, I’m checked all the way out from having sex haha

Should wait especially if you had an episiotomy or torn
I did. Just no rough stuff
It’s not the bleeding. You may feel fine but your vagina has not recovered enough. There’s a reason they tell you 6 weeks.
Seriously…you need strangers to tell you to have sex or not!!! Do what you want!!!

Personally I waited 5.5 weeks, if ask your doctor 
Your body is literally a huge gaping wound. If you had a cut on your hand that had stopped bleeding but was still not healed would you put it in dog poop?

I think we waited 3-4 and I was fine
They tell you to wait for a few reasons but the main one being infection. Your cervix is still open and very prone to infection. Also, getting pregnant again. You are very VERY fertile right now. I say no… Wait the 6 weeks.

GIRL let your damn vagina heal
I did a week in a half after my emergency c section. The hormones were killer. But I got depo the day I left the hospital. Not saying I condone it I do know the risks but luckily I was fine.
I did a week later… I didnt rip nor was I cut…it felt like the 1st time all over again… lol
Don’t know why anyone would want to…you literally just put your body through a trauma…all you’re doing by having sex that early is chancing either an infection or getting pregnant again…

I was released at 3 weeks, just do what your dr says is okay.
I had sex after 2.5 weeks. I was fine. I heard it can be painful for a lot of women, but I felt fine.
You should wait since your body is still recovering, can lead to bleeding again and/or infection
