Okay ladies, how long did you wait before having sex again? I had a c-section with the twins, so we waited six weeks, but this time I had a vaginal delivery with a second degree tear, I basically got two stiches (I think). I have no pain or discomfort in that region. I know my DH would LOVE to sex it up....when is it okay to resume?
It's fine to have sex when you feel it's time. But you should wait till your stitches heal up though, you don't want those babies tearing. I couldn't for like two months after, my body was going through all sorts of weird things.
I think you are supposed to wait until you have your 6 week post partum check up to DTD. But with that being said, I have read of some not waiting. Personally I was just exhausted and felt gross
we waited about 5 weeks, I had one very small tear and stopped bleeding at about 4 weeks. I have read to wait til your 6 week check up, but then our birthing class teacher said to wait until you stop bleeding and when you're feeling up to it.
Still waiting..................... J/K but I sure do not have ANY urges whatsoever anymore. It's crazy! I hate it that I feel like this. I think I hate my "new" body and just feel weird having sex w/ babies here.. I know, weird.. Anyway, GO FOR IT but don't do it before 6 weeks.. not safe.. could get an infection. I sure hope my sex drive returns. I think that dealing w/ infertility takes the fun out of it..
I had tearing with my first two pregnancies and it took me 2-3 months to heal and feel able to have sex. Maybe it's just where the tears were, but it was still very painful at 6 weeks.

Ditto the waiting 6 weeks, unless your dr. tells you differently. Glad you are feeling great, though!
I would wait until your 6 week apt. They told me not until then even for my previous deliveries which were vaginal. Maybe you could try some non-intercourse options. Sorry I know it is hard to wait.
