    I believe the outcome of waiting six weeks is not reopening your vagina and the stitches and not risking infection. I can't imagine doing it before my doctor clears me. You are a brave lady if you do!!!! There's another post on this where someone DID do it. I will try to find it for you, momma!

    I want to so bad, but when I went for my two week check up my Dr actually said "and nothing in the vagina till your next app!!" I had a C section as well and can't figure out why I can't have sex if I'm okay and uo to it? I have some peon bit nothing horrible. Still a bit bleeding going on but not much at all. I'm going crazy. I love being intimate with my partner, and as a plus for everyone else it calms me... Lately I've been getting very moody lol, well some shit is common courtesy that people seem to lack but yeah. I got lucky and my app is at 5 weeks 3 days post instead of the full 6 weeks lol if I'm cleared hubby is getting jumped!!!

    This is encouraging. I am still pregnant but have gained 40 lbs. Glad to hear most of the weight came off quickly

    @ChristyM87 I hope it comes off as easily for you as it has been for myself!
    Still going down just not as fast some was the water weight from all the swelling. I was in my "fat jeans" yesterday and finally able to wear my wedding ring too!

    When my Dr discharged me he said it was fine to have sex whenever I felt up to it but to make sure we were using condoms because there is still a small chance of getting pregnant again.

    Dang ladies-- I'm so impressed! Doing it like 2 weeks after delivery AND losing all your baby weight?? Yall are awesome. My hubs & I waited 8 weeks after our 1st was born. And I still had 8 lbs left to lose when I got pregnant with this one (14 months post-delivery, and yes I was still nursing lol). Tell me all your secrets!!!

    I had sex 10 days after c section. I wanted it and was ready we just took it easy. Vaginal and c section is different. I would talk to your dr. And listen to your body. I was also hiking 1 week post c section. Everyone heals differently.

    I want it bad but not sure why Dr said to wait? I'm healing fine from c section and we can always take it easy. But I feel ready and fooling around just makes me want it more. I'm 17 days post c section.

    And yes I'm breast feeding as well.

    I gave birth 3 weeks ago (vaginally) and got 3 tiny stitches. Lately I've been thinking about having sex, but most likely we will have to go for BJ.. I'm terrified of getting pregnant now haha and hubby is allergic to "condom lub". I'm breastfeeding and I gained maybe 25lb, had 9lb baby and now it's 5-6lb til i get to my pre pregnancy weight. I'm not trying to lose anything, actually I'm worrying that I might lose milk if I do go down.

    As long as you stay hydrated and eat properly keeping the 300 calorie increase your milk supply will be fine if you still lose :) and take fenugreek to help keep it up too if you want help that is, worked for me!

    And since I finally stopped bleeding *knock on wood!!!* I'm tempted to jump hubby. Before I kill people lol not literally just want to scream at everyone lately andsex would help so much haha

    I had sex 4 days pp but I only did that because I hadn't seen my husband in 4 months because he is in the navy and was only home for 2 weeks so we did it as much as possible. I just told him to be super careful and go easy!

    You are brave for even thinking about sex! I had a 3rd degree tear and can't imagine anything going down there anytime soon other than the ointment and witch hazel wipes the hospital gave me. 8 days pp and am still bleeding a lot too. I'll wait the 6 weeks til the doctor says I'm healed and good to go. So not worth the risk of infection or tearing more in my opinion.

    I'm 15 days pp. I also am thinking about sex with DH. I'll wait to we're in Palm Springs next Thursday (I'll be 22 days then) and use lambskin condoms. We don't want more children. I'm feeling well, and I think it'll help us get over this hump of...irritability.

    My doctor told me at discharge "I don't want anything in your vagina for 6 weeks." I laughed. I had stiches, I don't want anything in there for a while anyways.. I think the greatest risk is infection in your uterus.

    We had sex at 4 weeks PP but I had a natural delivery with no tearing and DS was only 5lbs 2oz. We were anxious I would have tried sooner had I stopped bleeding sooner. We just took it easy and everything was fine. My 6 week app is next week.

    Well I am 21 days PP and (our days are on swing shift, s went to bed bed a couple hours ago) last night I pounced hubby, it felt like alot longer than 3 weeks lol. It was a tiny bit painful at first, but that quickly went away. My hubby was awesome when accommodating and so sweet kept reminding me to go at my pace at first. I think he on iced I was in a bit of pain at first.

    I feel great and it was much needed for both of us. As a PP said we love our intimacy too and are very sexual people 3 weeks was very rough.

    I had sex 2 weeks pp. I felt ready, I had no more discomfort or pain, bleeding and spotting was gone. My hubby and I took it slow and it was great. I know that's not gonna be the case for everyone. I listened to my body and have been great ever since

    Today I am 17 days pp. I had no tearing at all, and never a bit of vaginal pain after birth. (Weird, I know! I expected lots of soreness but I've felt fine since she was born!) I'm nursing, and I still bleed a bit after she nurses. We are ready, but I'm nervous since I still bleed a little. Is it an issue if I'm still bleeding a bit? Physically I feel great and lost all the weight.

    I had sex with my hubby at 12 days PP. Just light and fun. Nothing crazy.I had a c-section and have yet to bleed. My doctor told me I was just one of the lucky ones. And I also have lost all my pregnancy weight. I gained 18lbs and had an 8lb3oz baby. Took about 10 days to lose the weight, just waiting for the tiny bit of swelling to go down now☺️ I am breastfeeding where as my first I didn't and took me almost a year to get off the weight I had put on! What a difference this time around!!!

    I can't even imagine having sex and I am a little more than 5 weeks pp (del July 1). My bladder prolapsed and I am so depressed about it. Just the idea of trying to save sex like that makes me literally sick. However, it might not ever get better so I guess I will have to get over it at some point or my poor husband will be one unhappy man.

    23 days pp, we're both starting to get to the point where this wait is long but we are gonna continue to wait until after I get my Mirena placed and the 1 week you have to wait after that. It's gonna be at least a month, that's okay though because I'm still nervous about the pain (2nd degree tear).

    I only gained 9lbs during pregnancy and had a 8lb11.7oz baby, I'm already 7 lbs under prepregnancy (I had to follow the gd diet during pregnancy that kept my weight in check).
