Hellobee Boards

No one gave me any limitations on anything. The only info we got on sex pp was to "be careful if you're feeling romantic when you get home because you're very fertile post-partum".
We had sex (well sort of... DS woke up and interrupted!) a few days ago at 3.5 weeks pp. It was a little sore, but also felt REALLY good We didn't use any toys or even lube and it was fine, but just go with whatever feels right/good to y'all!

i'm worried about this already and I'm only 37 weeks pregnant... its such a scary unknown for me

I had a c-section and they even told me we had to wait until 6 weeks pp.

I was told to wait until we were seen at my 6 week check up for both of my deliveries.
And it didn't hurt but I was nervous that it would.

I'm nervous about this too. Gosh, seems like I find something new to worry about every single day!

I've been nervous about this for awhile. I am 5 weeks pp and still sore from birth, so I can't even imagine doing it right now. I think we will end up having to wait longer than 6 weeks.

At my 3.5 week appt, my midwife asked if I was wanting to do it yet, she said that we shouldn't try anything until all my soreness is gone. And I am still sore so I am ok with waiting. I do feel bad for DH but having LO to focus all our time on has made it easier..

On a sidenote, I can't believe you've actually been doing oral! Go you, I bet your DH is happy my poor man hasn't had any action in about 6-7 weeks.

We tried just before my 6 week appt (oops!) and it was sore but not as bad as I thought. I was super nervous and DH took it slow. I was worried about being too dry since that's what other mommas and my midwife warned me about, but it wasn't a problem for me (thank goodness). We are, however, super worried about getting preggo too soon again! Anyone else freaked out by this?

We waited well past the 6 week point and it hurt like HELL. It tends to hurt for me anyway if we haven't done it in a week or two, but it really hurt a lot the first time post baby. It took a long time before it started being pleasurable again. And it's definitely different-- things I used to like before I don't like anymore. It's like learning to do it all over again! Which is tough, but kinda cool as well since we've been married for over 6 years.

along with this question, did your chucky return to normal? I'M 5 weeks post-partum and my tear is healing but feels all weird and bulky.
