| well i guess it all depends on how you are feeling/healing...we waited about 4 weeks or so, and took it REALLY easy....you don't want to risk infection and stuff....there is a reason they say 6 weeks...trust me, after going through labor, you probably won't be in a hurry to have sex anyways!! lol ↑ |

| The reason why you're supposed to wait for 6 weeks is to make sure that you're all healed up and that your womb has shrunk back down to its usual size. If you have sex before this point, then you may be risking infection. ↑ |

| We tried at 3 1/2 weeks and it hurt so bad I couldn't. Then we tried again at 6 weeks and it still hurt but was do able. I had an apesiodamy (lol no idea on sp) so if you didn't rip or get cut you'll probably be fine. I felt normal again after 2 months. ↑ |

| It's really up to you. If you take it easy the first time to make sure you don't cause yourself any pain. I had sex at 4 1/2 weeks, but it was uncomfortable to do anything more than straight, very slow sex. ↑ |

mother2five and kaitlyn.....
did you girls feel totally healed up I mean not sore at all when you tried for the first time again after having the baby? Just wonddering because I don't feel sore at all,no preessure or anything, I had my baby 4 weeks ago, but I am scared that I am not healed up as well as I feel. ↑ |

| My doctor told me we could whenever we felt comfortable with it -- that it didn't necessarily have to be 6 weeks. He also said that if we did before my 6 week check, it might make the exam a little easier. My baby's 2 weeks old, and I'm definitely getting the mental sex drive back, but it still hurts to think about actually doing anything! ↑ |

| well in a couple days it'll be 5 wks since i had my daughter, but my fiancee and i tried having sex 1 1/2 wks ago and it was alright a bit uncomfortable so then we tried a couple days ago and im fine....i think it just depends on the person and how your pregnancy went... ↑ |

I had vaginal birth and am waiting but the doesn't mean no oral or fingering. You know the safe stuff we use to do, lol, well me anyway plus it fun to pretend your in highschool and all you can do is round 3rd base but never can reach that home plate.
Do it when your comfortable but enjoy other fun sexual things while you wait. Heck I am treating this like my period ..there is a no entry sign but you can come close with out breaking a entering .. ↑ |

| I was so busy recovering and taking care of a newborn, I didn't even THINK about sex until 8 weeks! It is fine to start whenever you feel comfortable, just don't forget about birth control... ↑ |
