in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
Okay Ive searched it on this web site but it seems this question only gets answered by women who have had vaginal births. Alot of people say they have had sex before their 6 week check up what about women who have had a c-section? I've been back to my normal routine since I got out of the hospital. my incision is all healed and I have little to no pain in the c section site. My bleeding is just about gone just discharged with a hint oh brownish tint. I didn't have sex with my husband the whole time I was pregnant Im dying here ladies give me some answers PLEASE!! lol

    I had a C section and waited the full 6 weeks.

    Either way you give birth- your placenta leaves a hole in your uterus where it detaches. You need to wait for that to heal and for your cervix to close or else you risk infection.

    I think it also depends on whether or not you went into labor.

    I had a scheduled c-section.. and never had any contractions or even dilated. Once the bleeding stopped we had sex (about 3 weeks pp)

    It was fine, but could definitely feel soreness on my insides. I would use protection to prevent infection, and make sure he goes very slow. 

    To be honest, it wasn't that great the first time -- because I could literally feel tenderness where I'm assuming either internal stitching was or where my uterus was healing. But it got better. Also, make sure he doesn't put any pressure near your incision.

    It also did cause some light bleeding a few days later.

    I had a csection and I waited till week 5. I waited about 1.5 weeks after I no longer had any type of tinted discharge. I also recovered very well and was back to normal routine within a few days after leaving the hospital.

    I had an easy recovery from my c-section and I waited the full 6 weeks. It still hurt the first time we had sex, so I recommend taking it slow and using A LOT of lube!

    I think it is ok as long as you use protection. You don't want to be the lady who goes to her 6wk check up only to find out your pregnant again!

    thanks every one and no I didn't go into labor they did an emergency c section because I was on a stress test and his heart rate dropped I wasnt even dilated when they checked me before the c section. I was supposed to be induced but because I didn't have any progression they didnt want to stress the baby further. But yea anyways I think Im gonna wait till the 6 week appointment. I hemeraged during the OP and now that I think about it I dont want to bother the stitches I have on the inside. But thank you all anyways for the info at least Im not the only one that wants to have sex before the 6 week appointment lol.

    there will be a few of those ladies on this board, i am sure.  you are most fertile right after having a baby.  USE PROTECTION.

    also, i had a c section and my Dr recommends 4-6 weeks if you don't labor before.  but i am still waiting at least 6 weeks, i waited 7 weeks after DD and it hurt.  make sure you take it slow and use lube, especially if you abstained during your entire pregnancy--it will feel like you are a born again virgin.
