so i know its recommeneded to wait 6 weeks before sex again. did anyone go ahead and try it sooner? its been almost 4 weeks since i gave birth...and im antsy1
Sure plenty of people do, but I'd wait. When I went in for my post partum visit, I wan't healing correctly, so I was told to wait even longer. I think my next appointment was an additional 4 weeks after. I would have never known I wasn't healing correctly, so I'm happy we waited.
I waited until 7 weeks. I had such a big baby and had some tearing and not great healing progress that I waited later. Plus I was kinda scared. But once it happened it was like no big deal and I can't believe I made such a big deal outta waiting so long.
Re: sex?
As much as I wanted to, I waited 6 weeks. I didn't want to risk an infection or rip my healing tear.

AHH! OWIE that hurts me just thinking about it! Im 2 weeks PP now!
We didn't even make it two weeks. Two weeks would've been on a thursday and I think we did it the Monday night before.
Now, I had a vaginal birth, with no tearing or episiotimy or anything so I healed very quickly and felt really good at a week an a half out.
I will say this though, it was very tight and sore still and almost felt like being a virgin again. But it was nice!
