Sex before 6 weeks PP - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

I am a little over 1 week pp and I feel great, except I feel tired and fat. I was thinking that I wanted to have sex but I am wondering if I am pushing it. Sorry if you really didn't need to know this. I am not really bleeding very much and I had a c-section so I am fine down there. I plan on taking it easy so I don't bust my internal stitches. When did you start or did you wait the 6 weeks?

Congrats on your new one!!

I did not have a C Section so I can only tell you what I did from the vaginal birth side. With DS#1 we waited about 5 weeks. It didn't seem to be a problem. With DS#2 it was only about 3 1/2 weeks and boy could I tell. We went really slow and easy but I could feel tugging and pulling. Not the most comfortable... one week pp seems pretty early but I don't know?

Good luck!

I'd ask your OB first, just to be on the safe side.

I guess the reason I am ready is that I hate having sex when I am pg. So DH and I have been in a desert for about 5 months now. Sex when I am pg is very uncomfortable and not something I can do.
