my dh and I tried having sex a few weeks ago and we stopped cause I wasn't at 6 weeks at the time. He said it feels different and I had a bump inside. It feels like a burning sensation when we have sex. Idk if that's normal?
First, hats off to u for wanting to jump back on it so soon not sure if u had a natural delivery or c-section but I would definitely say to make sure ur cleared by ur doctor to be sexually active again..besides you could possibly get preggers again without contraception.. if ur really in the mood then maybe just stick to teenage years foreplay and dry humping ..lol..or if u just wanted to give ur man some loving then maybe take care of him now and when ur cleared he can take care of u..GL!
They suggest waiting the 6 weeks to ensure that the cervix had closed and any tears have healed - if you delivered vaginally. If you are breast feeding the hormonal changes can result it vaginal dryness, so it is recommended that you take it slow and use lube.
It's been 11 was since DS was born and DH and I have only tried a handful of times and it hurts! My doc said everything was good at my checkup but it sucks because we really haven't had true sex still!
Actually it's 6 weeks for both vaginalky and c-section - doesn't matter. Both need time for cervix to close or there is a risk of infection if you have sex. After that, totally normal for it to be painful. It may be for awhile. I think for my last two it was several months, but I was BFing too (and c/s both times) Get some lube and make sure your SO takes it slow.
DS born 10/25/11 ** DD born 6/24/13 ** DS born 4/20/15
This is not going to make you feel better, but DH and I haven't had normal sex and my son is 12 weeks old this week. It just hurts so bad! The few times we've attempted we just try to take it slow. Correction, I try to take it slow. I hope it gets easier soon! 3 months is a long time!
