Cramps after postpartum sex

I had a C-section 6 weeks ago yesterday. Dr. cleared me for sex, we tried for the first time last night. I didn't really have any pain during, but now today I have been having pain on the right side of my abdomen. It kind of feels like intense period cramps. We are not using birth control yet, since I am waiting for my implant to come in, and we both hate condoms. I am breastfeeding, but supplementing with formula. Anyone else experience this? Should I be worried?? If it still hurts Monday I'll call the dr, but just wanted a little reassurance in the meantime. Thanks!

  • I had period-like cramps and some spotting after my first PP time as well. I think it's pretty normal.

  • As in this is Lemon, and his Irish twin Lemon?
    I'd love to know if I cramp after sex at this point...
  • We tried using condoms, and it just didn't work, too uncomfortable for both of us, and for me it made it more painful. I guess I was hoping that since I'm bfeeding, and since hubby pulled out, that we would be good. It wouldn't be the end of the world to get pregnant, but it's not in the plans. On the other hand, we were both really anxious to be intimate after so long, and didn't want to wait. My implant won't be in for a few more weeks. If it was just going to be a few days, we would have waited for it, but since it's going to be so long, I guess we both felt a little impatient. We have decided at this point to wait for the implant. Thank you Dr. pr for your response, good to know it wasn't just me :).
