Just use lots of lube and take it slowly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-33056 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:43:01 +0000 LivsMama 33056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a c-section, but I can tell you that we waited the 6 weeks and even though I had nothing going on in the vag area - IT HURT. I felt like I got tightened up from not doing it for 6 weeks lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-33049 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:39:34 +0000 polkadots 33049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: yikes 10 days! your a brave woman! I was still walking around like I had a corn cobb up my butt :S</p> <p>We waited 6 and a half weeks... we tried 4 times with out success (had to stop because I was in pain) I had a pretty bad tear though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-33038 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:21:41 +0000 StbHisMrs 33038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no tearing and no complications and we had sex at 10 days pp. It didn't hurt but it made the bleeding worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31535 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:11:20 +0000 chopsuey 31535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I didn't wait til 6 weeks either! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31534 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 14:09:40 +0000 chopsuey 31534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yikes!!! maybe she didn't have any tearing? I couldn't imagine having sex at 3 weeks pp. ouch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31525 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 13:34:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 31525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't speak for myself, but my cousin recently had a baby (end of Oct) and had sex at 3 weeks post-partum. I went bug-eyed, and she was like "well, it was first night without baby, and I wasn't used to drinking..so the buzz I guess helped." </p> <p>okayy..whatever works? lol! I crossed my legs when she told me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31508 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:24:40 +0000 heffalump 31508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Green Thumb: My baby girl probably slept about 7 or 8 hours a night at 2 months, so we just used some of our sleeping time. It's hard and frusterating because you're soooooo tired... but it's also worth it. </p> <p>Now she sleeps 11 to 12 hours a night, which actually started at 2 1/2 months. So we put her to bed at 7:30 and have the rest of the night to ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31491 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 11:23:01 +0000 Andrea 31491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was fine - no issues? :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31458 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:40:37 +0000 Green Thumb 31458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did you ladies find time?! I never really noticed until we actually wanted to spend some "quality time" together, but DD will.not.stop. It isn't any worse than normal (colicky, thrush, and teething) but now that we have something to do so to speak, it's really frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31440 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:49:22 +0000 Rosie Girl 31440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was scared, but it wasn't bad! Didn't hurt like I thought it would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31438 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:48:02 +0000 cyndistar3 31438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I was the stupid impatient one who couldn't wait the recomended 6 weeks :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31368 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:48:07 +0000 heffalump 31368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also terrified, and it really wasn't bad at all. Actually it was good :) Like others said, go slow and use lube! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31360 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:20:27 +0000 chopsuey 31360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of foreplay and take it slow! I had 3rd degree tears but we did it a day before I hit 6 weeks pp. It didn't hurt surprisingly. Good luck! Have fun and try not to be too tense :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31340 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 17:12:23 +0000 Green Thumb 31340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: I'm just scared because I've started bleeding and being really sore again lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/intercourse-after-baby#post-31339 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 17:01:47 +0000 cyndistar3 31339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its true, go slow and take it easy if it starts hurting take a little break.
