I am 11.5 weeks PP and I still get pretty sore when we do! Think it takes time and repetition... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200998 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:34:39 +0000 BeachMama 200998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I thought I was going to avoid any problems with sex since I had the c-section! I was looking forward to after my 6 week checkup but now I'm a little worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200936 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:57:26 +0000 Mrsbells 200936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys, we tried again and used LOTS of lubricant and it got much better.. I cant imagine what it would have been like if I had had a vaginal birth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200927 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 09:53:31 +0000 Boogs 200927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited about 5 weeks. It was super uncomfortable, so we stopped and tried again after the ok at my 6 week checkup. It didn't start feeling better until our third try. Just go slow and stop if you need to and it ends up being worth it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200727 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 22:45:03 +0000 autumnlove 200727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I waited almost 4 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200724 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 22:13:30 +0000 sandy 200724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely waited the 6 weeks...maybe another week...it was not comfortable...definitely got better but then i got my IUD and things are uncomfy again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200717 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 21:39:26 +0000 BananaPancakes 200717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited the full 6 weeks. We're still trying to get into the groove because my abdomen is still pretty sore and so it quickly gets uncomfortable for me. Well that and I've had 2 week-long periods in the 3 weeks I've been released. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200677 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:37:00 +0000 GrapeCrush 200677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited 5 1/2 weeks, we used a condom and didn't really have a problem </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200287 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 21:46:17 +0000 MsMamaBear 200287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited 6 wks exactly. He couldn't wait longer. It was a little dry at first, but mostly because I wasn't really in the mood.LOL The more times we did it, it got better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200274 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:59:02 +0000 Mrsbells 200274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: wow you were brave to try so soon.. I wish I had tried right away after I got the go ahead from my doctor at 6 weeks. waiting this long has probably made it worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200270 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:46:46 +0000 pastemoo 200270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited 3.5 weeks and used lots of lube and it felt like sandpaper. We stopped and haven't tried again yet--waiting till 6 weeks like we were supposed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-after-c-section#post-200269 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:45:28 +0000 Mrsbells 200269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did you wait after your c-section to have sex and how was it the first few times? We waited til this weekend which is 9 weeks since the c-section and it felt pretty uncomfortable, the friction was causing a burning sensation even with lube. Is this normal? </p>
