I didn't have any tearing and was feeling ready. Then it was another 2 weeks before the next time and it was actually worse than the first.</p> <p>I'd say that as long as you didn't have any terrible tearing and you feel ready then go ahead. I think the longer we wait the "tighter" everything gets down there and then it hurts more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-did-you-wait-to-dtd#post-164225 Mon, 21 May 2012 09:55:38 +0000 Springtime 164225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only waited 3.5 weeks and I had to have an episiotomy, that was the most painful part, it's still very sensitive where I had stitches. At my 4 week pp appt, my doctor said I was completely healed so sex is okay, although it is recommended to wait 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-did-you-wait-to-dtd#post-164071 Sun, 20 May 2012 20:19:44 +0000 prettylizy 164071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-did-you-wait-to-dtd#post-163978 Sun, 20 May 2012 15:25:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 163978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: It did at first, but then we did "other stuff"... but when 6 weeks came I didn't feel ready.. and we just never did it.

Tried at 8.5. It hurt so we tried again closer to 10 weeks. Still uncomfortable but not awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-baby-did-you-wait-to-dtd#post-163480 Sat, 19 May 2012 17:40:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 163480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you wait the recommended 6 weeks? Did you do it sooner? Later? </p>
