If you gave birth how long did they tell you to wait to have sex again? I was on pelvic rest for three weeks prior to giving birth, so we havent been able to do anything for a month now.. My dr didnt give me a time limit just told me to set up an appt for three weeks postpartum. After my DD's were born I had to wait 6 weeks, but they both went to term and I am wondering if it is different since I was only 18 weeks...
Just thought I would ask you girls... Thanks for any responses.
Re: Girls with 2nd tri losses, question...
I was delivered by a high risk OB and not by my regular doctor. They didn't tell me ANYTHING, sadly. DH and I are waiting until my 4 week followup and we will ask then what they think. I'm hoping they don't make us wait too long. Truth be told, I miss it - my PG hormones are dissapearing and I'm getting the urge back! We went out last weekend and after a few too many drinks on my part we started to, until I went WAIT probably not a good idea!! I'm hoping I didn't screw anything up.
Dang long islands!
I think I just miss that closeness with DH.
at my 6 week post partum appointment I was told we could start having intercourse again...we haven't yet. While I'm no longer bleeding...every other day I do spot a little. It seems like everything is trying to stop but I want to wait probably until at least the weekend. I'm terrified of having sex right now because I just got off of my period and i'm not ready to get pregnant again yet.
I had a D&E after 15 weeks, so what my dr told me probably doesn't apply to your situation. I was told to wait until the post-op appt (2 weeks later). They gave me the ok at that point. But we actually didn't until one month post D&E (for emotional reasons).
I'm so sorry for your loss.
