TMI- Sex after c-s

[Mumma2Be1982]

Just wondering how long after you have a c-sect can u have sex again.. is it 6 weeks??
Sorry about the embarrassing question but after having no sex drive at all during my whole pregnancy its kinda caught up lol

We waited 3 weeks by 6 weeks it was all good

[Mumma2Be1982]

was there any pain or discomfort?
what about around your scar?

[Pixie]

no pain, a little uncomfy which is why we waited another 3 weeks, was still a little sore, but the begging was far more annoying than the discomfort lol I healed quite quickly though.

[Mumma2Be1982]

lol i understand what u mean about the begging.. its not DH its me! haha

I had an infection around my scar which worries me as im still a little tender..

[Pixie]

ahh OK well just wait a lil while then, orrrr see how you go LOL if it gets to much just stop, it's the one ride you can get off before it's meant to end

5 weeks after DD1 was born and it hurt HEAPS..not my scar but the fact we hadnt done it for so long (sorry tmi but something to be careful of)

Its been 11.5 weeks since DD2 was born and still hasnt happened... wont be til we pass 12 weeks either for fear of concieving at 12 weeks Post partum again lol

i think it was 3 weeks with #1,
but i know i felt guilty about not waiting the required 6 weeks....
the second one i think was about 2 weeks?
[but i had reeeeeally good wounds both times, i was very lucky]

i do remember the only pain i really had, was......
hmmmm, how do i put this...
was the 'Severe' contracting, afterwards that happens I...Y...K...WIM??
but it didnt stop us

but if you had an infection i would wait a little longer, just to be safe...

uhhhh - less than 2 weeks... Same here for the sex drive catching up - pity that it slowed right back down tho.

But i also had a great incision, with speedy recovery.

3 weeks after for me, I don't think the 6 week rule would apply with a cs would it??
