I had sex a week after delivery now I'm worried about infection. I know I shouldn't have but my husband was wanting it. Anyone else had sex that soon after delivery?
What the heck. a week after delivery? Ouch! How did that go? I waited a month an i was still sore
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
i would recommend still taking sitz baths now it will help you heal faster @camsmommy16
@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.
@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.
no you should be fine did you guys use a condom cause that would definitely help with less risk of infection
@lexilulu, would it be too late to sit in one today you think since it happened last night/early this morning?
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
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.
Im 7 weeks pp and still havent had sex 😮
