C-section question for STMs

I'm scheduled for my c-section in just over 4 weeks :)
I'm wondering for you mamas who have had a csection before: How long after delivery did you have sex again?
We haven't done it for the entire pregnancy because of the vasa previa... Sooo, it's been a really long time lol.

Re: C-section question for STMs

  • I was cleared at my 6 week appt.  I haven't heard it being different for c-section vs vaginal birth.

  • Waited to be cleared at 6 weeks pp. It wasn't the most comfortable thing ever and I had little to no drive. We didn't do it much. Poor Dh. Then when things were starting to not hurt again and become enjoyable.. i got pregnant with this one.

  • Cleared after 6 weeks it was several weeks after that until we actually did it. And it was not comfortable at all! It's was pretty awful for the first few times actually. :/

    I think we lasted all of 4 weeks. It wasn't the most comfortable but I missed it so much that it was unpreventable....lol. I think by the time we hit 8 weeks we were back to normal.

  • Thanks guys. I was starting to get excited that it's getting closer... But it looks like we still have a good two plus months to wait :/

  • I got cleared at 6 weeks. And we did it soon after that but it' was painful and not pleasant the first few times. I was surprised at that since it was a csection and not vaginal delivery, I wasn't expecting things to tighten up so much.
  • Cleared at 6 weeks -- FYI, the reason they want you to wait is because you have a hole in your uterus that is susceptible to infection. So we waited - which was hard!  However, sex did not become enjoyable for me again until I was done breastfeeding.  It was painful until then.  Best advice about the first time post-baby = liquor and lube.

  • Cleared at 4 weeks, tried at 5 and I actually cried it was so uncomfortable/hormones we didn't continue. Breastfeeding changes everything for me as far as sex drive, lubrication etc. We probably waited another month after that to try again, crying might have traumatized the hubby. It was never really the same for me until I weaned each kid, not to say it wasn't good in all that time just different and required way more effort for me.

    baby #3 arrived in September 2014...cannot get ticker to work no matter what I try!




  • I was told 6 weeks and we tried after that appointment but like others mentioned it was pretty painful. It took a couple of months of trying before the pain subsided unfortunately.
