Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

I was just wondering if anybody did the deed before their 6 week pp check up. I haven't, but I know a few people who have, and I wanted to know if this was common. I think DH is curious too, as my appointment was pushed back a week! (poor guy!)

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

I tore pretty badly as well as had an episiotomy so I wanted nothing to do with that until I got my Dr's ok!

Oh and I purposely pushed my 6wk pp appt into the 7th wk just to buy more time

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

My 6 wk ck was actually at 3 wks. Dr gave me the physical go ahead, but said I may want to wait until I am feeling more up to it. I think we waited 1 more week and did the deed. I was more scared about getting PG!

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

No and I had a c-section. I usually listen to the dr. I don't see the need to rush unless you both are "desperate".

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

No- we tried 2x so far and it killed. and I had a c section.....and we lubed up.

Actually this is kind of funny. I told DH that felt like he was shoving a knife up there.

Then he said, you mean a samarai sword? Or a pocket knife?

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

ummm......we did, and at my 6 week checkup my dr told me I was pregnant!

No....My Dr said it might cause an infection and well the thought of it maybe causing that and having to wait longer , made me heed the warning.

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

With my 2nd I went vag and waited about 5wks and with my 3rd I had a c-sec and I think it was about 4wks.

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

Not to hijack the OPs post but if you had a c-section did it hurt the first time after you gave birth. I want to...we have 2 more weeks until our check up but I'm scared it's going to hurt.

Nope. I had a C Section and Honestly had no desire.

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

I had a c-section and had a terrible reaction to the spinal. I was in the hospital for 10 days. By 2 1/2 weeks pp, I needed sex! DH was happy to help!

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

i had my son c-section and had my 6 wk today - doc said my uterus hasn't gone down fully but said we could resume, though it might be painful and to proceed w/caution

i wish i would've listened to him b/c i felt like i was a virgin all over again...not very fun at all

not to mention i'm terrified of getting preg right away...

i wish i had the foresight that one of the other posters had to push the appt back 1 wk...i'll know better for next time

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

Yup - at about 4-5 weeks! I don't thin we have done it since though!!! (J/K! )

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

I had 2 second degree tears and I wasn't thrilled about the idea of sex at 6 weeks. We tried but had to stop because it felt like I was tearing again. I think the first time where I just had to grin and bear it was 8 weeks PP and it did get a lot easier from there.

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

I also had a C/s and after my 6 week, we did the dead! Not too bad! I was nervous about getting pregnant! I think i would just die!!!!!

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

No, with my dd I had 4th degree tears and was too scared.

When my son was born I was really exhausted most of the time from taking care of the 2 of them, plus DH was going through a stressful time at work and wasn't home much when I was awake.

Re: Question that may be a little personal, and TMI

Had a C-section and between the way I felt and the fact that I was bleeding heavily, it just was not happening before 6 wks. It did hurt the first time--not terribly but it hurt.
