I didn’t until my son was 3 1/2 months old, and it still hurt. I did have some stitches but they weren’t too bad.

4 weeks i wish would have waited through because the pain was unbearable and I ended up tearing more

@leroydoom, yup, you are correct. It isn’t just the vagina that needs to heal. Everyone has a placenta and everyone’s detaches. And the fact that the bleeding stopped simply means it has clotted, not necessarily healed.

Four weeks but I wish I would have waited until the six week mark because I had a small tear and it actually hurt to have sex so we had to stop. I had stopped bleeding but for sure what @laniejay said. On another note, C section moms sometimes think they're okay to have sex because they didn't deliver vaginally but often they have the wound inside as well (if I'm remembering that info correctly.)

First baby 8 weeks

Second baby 3 weeks

First time was 4 weeks because I wasn’t informed by the reasoning to wait until cleared. Thankfully no infections. The second time I was more educated and wait until I was cleared.

5 weeks

Once I was cleared. The thought of infection, scaring, infertility and worse from the gaping wound in my uterus where the placenta detached wasn’t really a turn on.

Once I was cleared at 6 week checkup each time.

I know we’re suppose to wait 6 weeks but I did 1 week pp 🤷🏾‍♀️ i stopped bleeding at 3 days pp
