We finally got it on Tuesday night, 10w2d pp. I was scared of the pain before that, and paired with the exhaustion, I just never wanted to! I had a second degree tear with stitches, and it hurt a little at first, but wasn't too bad. First time I've felt semi-skinny in a long time!! So much better without that big ole belly!
I felt like a loser waiting that long...anyone else?
Re: How long did you wait for pp sex?
I waited til almost 9 weeks...it took my stitches a looong time to heal, and I just wasn't up to it until then. It hurt the first time, but it slowly got better.
I had a c-section so I figured I'd go for it as soon as the Dr gave me the go ahead at my 6 week appointment. Well it was still really painful (still not sure why) and we did it again a week or so later and it still hurt. We did it again last night and for the first time it wasn't painful, actually it was really good!
My sister had a vaginal birth and she made her husband wait almost 6 months! (she was beyond petrified)
This time it will be mid July when we have sex for the first time. He is in Iraq and will get 2 weeks of leave during that time. I already have zero pain down there (no stitches or anything) so I am sure I will be more then ready for it then. I haven't had anything since December 2nd or 3rd!
With my first 2 I didn't wait the full 6 weeks. It didn't hurt. I didn't have stitches with either of them either.
