I had sex a week after delivery now I'm worried about infection. I know I shouldn't have but my…

I'm 2 weeks pp today and haven't had sex yet, just wanted to ask did it hurt at all?

Not at first towards the end bc it took so long it kinda started to but I didnt have stiches either so that could be why.

@camsmommy16,

i havent actually had sex yet but i got an episiotomy and because of complications i now have to heal naturally. so im a month pp and still split wide open basically slowly healing and not trying to be gross but my SO has been fingering me and its a little sore but its okay so we are going to try sex so i think if im able to deal you should be okay @camsmommy16 and from what my doc had said is that make sure you use a condom of course and sit in a sitz bath afterwards to make sure everything is getting cleaned out so you can avoid infection @kmcollins87

@lexilulu, would it be too late to sit in one today you think since it happened last night/early this morning?

no you should be fine did you guys use a condom cause that would definitely help with less risk of infection

and the sitz bath will also help with any soreness you may have from it

@lexilulu, at first yes but then he took it off but didn't get off inside but I told him that was dumb bc I'm very fertile.

@lexilulu, I had a 1st degree tear and I can still feel the stitches. I feel like waiting the entire 6 weeks (4 weeks left) is best for me. Especially because I also hurt my back during labor. But that's good info! I'll be sure to sit in that bath when they time comes.

i would recommend still taking sitz baths now it will help you heal faster @camsmommy16

yeah my man wanted to try it without a condom and i had to educate him real quick cause im not trying to have another baby anytime soon lol @kmcollins87

What the heck. a week after delivery? Ouch! How did that go? I waited a month an i was still sore

@mamabear777, it wasn't bad

@lexilulu, I'm not trying to either I just hope nothing took

Im 7 weeks pp and still havent had sex 😮
