I'm struggling with how to fit any exercise into our routine now that I'm a new mom -- other than our afternoon walks. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108484 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 18:13:32 +0000 obxwife 108484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: My sister said pain was an issue for her, she had a vaginal birth. </p> <p>@ecogirl: You go girl!! I'm so ready but just nervous? Self conscious? I need to just let it go and get down to business, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108188 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 08:28:22 +0000 MegWag 108188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a vaginal birth and we had sex for the first time 3.5 weeks post partum. We got interrupted because LO woke up. We tried again yesterday at 1 month out and had too stop because we got a little too rough and it started to hurt me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108138 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 07:00:13 +0000 ecogirl 108138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jennimac No I had c-section! I hate the waiting too haha :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108072 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:40:35 +0000 singingbee 108072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: did you have a vaginal birth? I had to induce and didn't have any tearing since the baby was so early. I just can't believe that I might have to wait until 6 wks. Gah! I'm going to go nuts!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108065 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:28:09 +0000 lemondrop 108065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited 7 weeks, it took me a while to be ready mentally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108062 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:22:06 +0000 ecogirl 108062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as possible haha! :) We had sex all the way through our 8th month and had sex ASAP after birth!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108045 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:42:14 +0000 autumnlove 108045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a C section as well and we waited 10 weeks! We were just too exhausted and not in the mood! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-108039 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:27:57 +0000 singingbee 108039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: &amp; @obxwife: This morning I was like, has it really only been 2 days. Only 40 more to go. I do have an appt with my doctor in two weeks, but I think it's more to see how I'm doing emotionally; I may ask him if I really have to wait 6 wks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107971 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:30:22 +0000 obxwife 107971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: not sure if it's easier post c section rather than vaginal delivery, I wonder that too. Regardless, I'm completely healed and cleared so I know we'll get there soon, just curious how other women went about it. </p> <p>@artbee: @chopsuey119: Thanks, may have to bring it up to him, I know he's ready! Lol</p> <p>@Jennimac: I know exactly what you mean, I have an entirely new relationship with my husband now and it's amazing. We're closer and more in love than ever as cheesy as it sounds! I'm ready to get back to our old "routine" in the bedroom. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107964 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:24:13 +0000 regberadaisy 107964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac:<br /> Yikes, we're not looking forward to having to wait 6 weeks either!</p> <p>I don't know how we're going to do it! hahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107960 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:19:39 +0000 singingbee 107960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My instructions are to wait 6 weeks, but it's going to be hard. I know that I didn't have any tearing issues or anything like that, but I still have to wait. I guess I should be glad that my husband and I are anxious to be intimate--all this experience did was just bring us even closer rather than tearing us apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107945 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:52:08 +0000 chopsuey 107945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until I was 6 weeks pp. I would just bring it up to your DH (he knows the OB cleared you, right?) I think we all had/have body issues post baby. Maybe you can wear something that makes you feel comfortable but sexy too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107855 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:22:48 +0000 heffalump 107855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited 6 weeks, that's when my doctor gave me the ok. You should talk to your husband about your self image issues. He probably sees you completely different than you see yourself, as we're always our hardest critics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107848 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:57:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 107848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious about this too, I'm 5.5 weeks pp and we haven't done anything but I think we'll be waiting a little longer still because i'm still a little sore.</p> <p>Plus, our son won't ever be put down, he even sleeps with us because he won't sleep in his bed, so we need to figure our how we'll manage it.</p> <p>It should be easier for you though since you had a c-section, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-get-intimate-post-baby#post-107815 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:58:03 +0000 obxwife 107815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might be on the boards already and it might be TMI but how long did you wait post-delivery to get intimate with your SO? </p> <p>I had a C-Section 5 weeks ago. The bleeding has pretty much stopped besides yellowish discharge and I got the all clear from my doc this week.</p> <p>I guess I'm dealing with some self-image issues, as I did throughout pregnancy, and am struggling with initiating anything. We went several MONTHS when I was pregnant without and the last time we did was the night before my water broke (I completely believe that wives-tale now!). </p>
