S/O sex, but after you deliver...

I don't know how many of you have thought about this, but the sex during pregnancy made me think of after the baby arrives. It took me 8 weeks to feel "comfortable" to even try to have sex, and not feeling utterly exhausted! It didn't work then b/c it hurt so bad. But we tried again at 9 weeks post-partum and it was better. It was a long healing process for me down there I guess!

  • I think it was around 11 weeks till it didn't feel like my stitches were ripping.  Not a good feeling.  When people say they just couldn' t wait till their 6 week appt. I am always impressed lol.

    BFP!! 8/29/16 --> EDD: 5/11/17....it's a GIRL!!! :)
  • after my first i waited 8 weeksand after my second i waited a week(hubby and i hadnt had sex in 4 months and we couldnt wait any longer ;p ) so with this baby there is no telling lol
  • My OB told me at my 6 week appointment to have a couple of glasses of wine and lots of lube so it wouldn't hurt so much.  It killed, I think I finally started to feel better around 6 months...and I only went to 8cm before baby went into distress and had a c.  I can't imagine sex after a VB.

  • My DH was waiting like a dog in heat the night I got cleared at my 6 week appt. It hurt bad enough having a c/s; I can't imagine having had a vaginal delivery.

    this!!! i'm really nervous........ i've been trying to subtly let DH know i have some major fears about what to expect down there..... I had surgery down there a few years back and to get back into having sex i had to have the Dr prescribe me a gel that numbs the area..... it defeats the purpose ofhaving sex really - but it certainly menat things were more comfortable

  • after dd was born, dh was begging, begging.  so i finally gave in at four weeks.  it was terrible!  we were rushed, it was horribly painful, i ended up tearing a bit where my stitches had been, and then dd started screaming for us.  so this time i've told him that we're going to wait longer.

  • I have a feeling I will be waiting a long time. DH deploys shortly after LO is born so that means it'll be sometime next year when we will finally be able to have sex again.
