sex question

in C-sections
For those that have had sex....is there a more comfortable post c/s position? I usually go for missionary when I'm sore or something, but I feel like that could be worse because of his pressure on top of me. Not sure when we will have sex, but just planning ahead. Dr cleared me at my 4 week check up and my internal and pap didn't hurt at all. I'm hoping sex won't either

Re: sex question
For ME, I have so much vaginal dryness (due to BF) that it makes the whole area feel tight and the only way I can deal with sex at all is missionary.
I don't even notice pressure on my incision since I am so focused on the internal discomfort.
Any other position would be too difficult for me to handle

FTM here, This may be silly, but oh well.
I have had a check-up and my incision is healing great with no problems. I am 4 weeks PP, but won't have my 6 week PP visit for 2 more weeks. I feel very much up to having sex, but do I have to wait until my 6 week checkup??
It's really in your best interest to wait. Are you still bleeding? It's not so much the incision, but the internal wounds that 'require' a 6 week wait. Your placenta was attached to your uterus, so think of it as a very large scab that's still healing. You limit your risk of infection by waiting a bit longer to have sex (and take a bath).
I was cleared at my 3 week appt to DTD. My doctor said there's no reason you can't, if you're feeling up to it. It went totally fine!
I've read that being on top helps control the pain some (you can decide how far, speed, etc).
That really didn't work for me.
For me I feel like the 18 hours of labor (with DS being breech) did more harm down there. I feel like everything was "shifted". For us it missionary---very slowly---worked best. We're normally not lube people at all---but I highly suggest. It's less frusterating and helps you get back on track faster. And if you're BFing it might be a must.
As for the hijacked post--wait until your doctor clears you. Another few weeks is not that long and bad things can happen if you're not ready. You're doctor is trained to know when it's best.
After our first child I tied the H up and was on top - just teasing!!
I was afraid missionary would be a little much for me at the time so I was on top for the first few times. Keep the lube handy!
Same here.
