@laniejay Exactly how I feel!! In my opinion, women aren't educated as to the 'Why' to waiting the 6 weeks.. Most hospitals don't educate you as to why it's so important to wait the 6 weeks. I waited 12 weeks with my first and 10 weeks with my second. It wasn't easy, but I'd rather not risk anything!

You see, when you have a baby- vaginally or a c-section... the placenta leaves a gaping wound when it detaches from your uterus. Not bleeding simply means it has clotted, not necessarily that it has healed. They say nothing in the vagina for 6 weeks because that gaping wound typically takes 6 weeks to heal. Otherwise you can get an infection, scar tissue, cause infertility and worse. Worth a little d to risk your uterus altogether?!?

I waited two weeks. I had a c section though. But if you feel up to it. He’s gentle and you don’t have stitches or anything I don’t see a problem. I would use condoms tho.

@raelene_g, I’m 3 weeks and a couple days pp me n hubby wanna try but I’m a little nervous

I went longer than 6 weeks because I was tired and sex was the furthest thing from my mind 🤷🏽‍♀️ I had a colicky baby and I was tired

@raelene_g, I mean I’m sure you can take precautions. I’m still toying with the idea of waiting or not. 😅

@mombie., 3 weeks seems appropriate lol I don’t want to keep waiting

@raelene_g very minor superficial tears. One stitch

@newlyironman, were you still sore before hand ?

@newlyironman, did you have tears?

@littleonemorning, lol that’s true, I need a few years before I get pregnant again 🤦🏻‍♀️

@raquely, I had 2 stitches 😐

@roguemommyofjx3, why wait right 😂

8 weeks the first time 2or3 weeks the second time I can’t remember

6 weeks. Bled the whole time

I wait the six weeks just because I can’t handle the risk of getting pregnant again 😂😂 considering otherwise this time.

I had 3 csections. Waited 2 weeks. Lmao
