We didn't do it regularly until more like 5-6 weeks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby/page/2#post-1733498 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 08:12:33 +0000 maybebaby 1733498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried, unsuccessfully, at 9 weeks--too painful after my third degree tear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby/page/2#post-1733341 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 01:13:53 +0000 Sofiel 1733341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is over 5 months old and we still haven't DTD. I have NO sex drive and the thought of being intimate just isn't appealing yet. I feel bad for DH but between cosleeping, sleep deprivation and PPD, I just can't summon up the energy. He's been very understanding thankfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby/page/2#post-1733322 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 23:49:12 +0000 lemondrop 1733322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 weeks with #1, 10 weeks with #2- could have been weeks sooner the second time, but I waited for Mirenia to be placed. DO NOT WANT pregnancy again for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby/page/2#post-1733311 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 23:19:54 +0000 PurplePeony 1733311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was somewhere around 9-10 weeks, I can't remember exactly. I'm glad we waited because it didn't really hurt (although it wasn't exactly the best ever...) but I don't think I'd have been ready any sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby/page/2#post-1733279 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 21:54:57 +0000 Kimberlybee 1733279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AprilFool: Grapefruiting...LOL!!!

If only we had of known about grapefruiting. Ah well.... there is always time for that with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby/page/2#post-1729008 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 05:08:54 +0000 bookwormmama 1729008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have yet to have actual intercourse at 14 w pp (tried once a few weeks back unsuccessfully). LO is still sleeping in our room and hardly naps anywhere but the living room so it's not really possible for me right now.</p> <p>I had to go back at 12 w for my doctor to check on my iud and she asked if we had done it yet. After I replied no because LO is still in our room she told me it definitely changes things...it's still awkward for her to think her 4 yo could walk in at any point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1729000 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 04:26:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1729000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time, we tried at 7 weeks and it hurt pretty bad. This time, I was good to go at 3 weeks and had no problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728966 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 00:58:22 +0000 Kimberlybee 1728966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the clear at 6 weeks pp but we attempted at 9 weeks and it was so painful, we stopped. I was very dry, nervous about my pp body, and we didn't have any lube at all (never needed it before). Sorry TMI. It got better and better though soon after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728961 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 00:25:51 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1728961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks cause my husband was sick for a week after I got the all clear at my 6wk appointment. Felt like I was devirginised all over again. We've done it maybe 5 times since then (15 weeks pp). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728958 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 00:12:07 +0000 Running Elley 1728958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 weeks for both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728954 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 00:04:29 +0000 Zbug 1728954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took awhile. Can't remember exactly, but we were honestly just too tired to care! And the thought of LO waking up at any time didn't really add to the romance. Is it terrible that even now I would often rather just go to sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728926 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:30:27 +0000 twodoghouse 1728926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did right after I got the ok at my 6 week appt and have a few times since. Although we almost did at 9 days PP because apparently we are insane. Couldn't go through with it though because somehow I was convinced we would get pregnant (despite the IVF we did to get these LOs!). I had a vaginal and c-section birth (twin hazard), but didn't tear or anything so I think that helped keep things ok down there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728911 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:12:32 +0000 MrsStar 1728911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 weeks exactly because I felt bad for dh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728903 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 23:07:27 +0000 Honeygold89 1728903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little after 4 weeks I was so curious to see how it would feel and I will admit it wasn't too bad but we didn't do it regularly until after 7 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728882 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:54:28 +0000 cascademom 1728882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 6-7 weeks pp. I blocked it out because it was such a bad experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728861 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:46:11 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1728861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: bo-ring.<br /> Come on, ladies...you know there was grapefruit involved... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728848 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:41:33 +0000 mrsjyw 1728848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six wk attempt<br /> Seven wk success </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-ya-know-post-baby#post-1728845 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:41:05 +0000 Purpledaisy 1728845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 4 months pp. Even though I had a c section it was still uncomfortable... Hormones maybe? </p>
