idk but you right 💯💯💯
I don’t think Iv ever related to something less in my life 😂
Yes I understand not everyone is going to agree but there are others that will agree, my body is ready and want to get it on with my partner, I mean we’ve created this beautiful little girl and watching him be a first time dad and being attentive towards her is attractive, also helping out when he knows I struggle here and there, supporting me, looking after me, this is our first experience together and me being me I wanna do what couples do 😂 and that’s to be intimate physically, we have done the lower risk but it just makes us want each other more 🤣 maybe too much TMI for people but it’s a natural thing
I think I waited 4, and didn't consult my obgyn first against their advice and it was painful but eventually went away, kinda stung a little
I had sex about 4.5weeks pp. I had every intention of waiting until 6 weeks but things happen🤷🏼♀️. I just made sure my bleeding had stopped fully so I knew it was healed inside and made him wear a condom. It was all fine and I’m now 7 weeks tomorrow and still all fine
I’ve stopped bleeding and it’s our 2 year anniversary today 😂 can I just go with it and use a condom ?
@🍂🎃sunflower some people will say no it’s not worth the risk but if you feel up to it then go for it. Just make sure to stop if there’s any pain or bleeding or anything
I only waited 3 weeks.
The reason they say wait is there is a dinner plate size wound inside of you right now incredibly prone to infection. Just because some people avoided infection doesn’t mean you will and it’s not worth the risk when you have a little one to look after. You might be finding it hard but I don’t understand how people can’t wait 6 weeks when it’s medically recommended, like how little self control there is 😂 Ultimately it’s your body and your choice!
@Elle I know this dinner size plate wound things goes around social media but I’m not sure that true … as your uterus contracts down again so does the wound where placenta was .. doesn’t mean you’re not still healing though.
I waited 6 weeks and even then it was uncomfortable, I wish I'd waited a little bit longer but at the end of the day you know your body, I'd definitely recommend using a condom though
Like I said I understand the risks it intails i do as other women do but I guess some of us enjoy our sex lives so it can be incredibly frustrating knowing we have to wait 🤷♀️ can’t mean we can’t vent time to time about things that gets to us, it’s what makes us human
@Rae I was told this by my health visitor at my 3 days check so I’m inclined to believe her, for me it’s just not worth the risk. Post partum is rough enough as it is 😅
I think external foreplay is fine (like using a vibrator) if that would help some!

Girl, I feel you. I can't have sex in my pregnancy 😩 and that's all I dream and think of. The things I think of doing to my husband 🤪. I'm planning to book a hotel for a weekend when we get the go ahead and let him ram every hole out of me 🤣.I'm even sweating typing this 😅 🙃
@Lea (name changed).. the struggle is too real!!! You get that D! Wishing you Many orgasms to ‘cum’ 🤣😂
Fwiw the NHS doesn't actually have that 6 weeks rule.... They say you know your body and that it's up to you
I only waited for it to not be painful. We did what we call "lazy" sex, where we're both laying down and he comes in from behind. 100% wear protection but no need to wait the full six weeks if you're comfortable and pain free enough
Not me realising you had to wait to have sex after a c section …😂🙈 I think I began having sex with my partner on week 3 after my c section we just used condoms as I’m not on any contraception at the moment but I agree my sex drive has gone up too. It wasn’t even like this before I got pregnant
Nope you’re not the only one. It’s definitely a struggle to wait, especially when the opportunity presents itself lol
@Natalie this. I love lazy sex lol
@🍂🎃sunflower do it girl!!! Celebrate that anniversary lol
Honestly me and my husband started being intimate at 4 weeks pp. If you feel ready you can always try and if it feels uncomfortable, pain etc just stop. If you are mindful about proper hygiene and listen to your body I don't see the issue, not all bodies are the same and some people recover way faster than 6 weeks
You're not the only one and that's ok! After the pain of pregnancy there are lots of mamas who are ready to get back in the saddle lol There are other lower risk things you can do in the meantime like touching/hand play/oral (wash the hands/mouth first of course!).
