NSFW -For those with kids, did you wait 6 weeks?

More or less,easy really there’s always her hand.

I’ve got a friend that had an emergency C-Section. I was there within 10 minutes of her phone call… at two in the morning (telling me that she was in labor). Her child’s “father” didn’t show up until three days later. They didn’t even wait one week to have sex, even after she had major surgery..

Needless to say, theyre both idiots. I’d wait it out.

@meagan no kids for you though?

@meagan Well he sounds like a Dad of the year contender.

@sleepdoc Helllllllllllll no. I’m only 21.

Yes I did probably wait about that long for actual intercourse.
For a lot of reasons like sleep deprivation and including the fact that a big ol’ baby had just squeezed his way outta there!

You are paying him/her good money so follow their advice.

Between the stitches and the soreness, I waited, gratefully. And as @wilma mentioned, if there was any down time, we all napped.

We really did try I think we lasted four weeks. Those dam hormones!!

I think I waited. Too long ago to remember, LOL. I agree…from being sore, tired, & ghts up with an infant, it took me a while to even think that it was a good idea again. LOL

The first time, I think we counted the minutes until six weeks was up. With the next two, it was probably longer than six weeks (but not much). Like @gailcalled mentioned, the stitches and soreness are a hindrance, not to mention that after having a baby you bleed for quite a while. It’s like the never ending period, and it lasted longer with the other two kids.

Yep, but like MissAusten said, They are the longest 6 weeks ever. Get some magazines. LOL

I waited both pregnancies – that time was necessary for me to heal – they were both huge – the first time around, my vagina literally spilled out and it needed time to, um, go back in. The second time, there was no energy for sex – we had a sick infant and a 2 and a half year old to take care of.

I had some problems with the delivery and post delivery AND my husband travels… so it wasn’t a matter of even being in the same bed, watching the clock. But his less than enthusiastic support of me with the baby certainly changed our sex lives forever, so it’s not for lack of passion…. just um…. he’s not here and not that interested in our life together any more. It was probably more like just over 2 months for us.

My oldest was 4.5 weeks old when we first had sex. It was definitely scary, since I had a vaginal birth and a small tear. It went fine though. I was mainly worried about infection, so we waited after that.

With my second, who is 3 weeks and 5 days old, today is the first time we attempted anything lol. I had a csection so no soreness in the neither regions. But, I’m still worried about pregnancy or infection (since I did the whole dilating til 10cms and pushing). We’ll probably wait a couple weeks again.

You wait until she’s ready.

I waited last time because I had extreme pain after a c-section. The whole experience was a complete nightmare and I was completely detached from thoughts of sex for months afterward. This c-section recovery was a cake walk, but I’m still going to wait because I’m paranoid. I feel much better about everything this time, so when my 6 weeks is up I’m jumping my husband’s bones.

@Rarebear good answer.

@Rarebear I wasn’t so much asking for advice as I was for experiences.

Oh, hell yeah! Probably longer.

@sleepdoc Well, that sort of dovetails. Some women will be ready in 4 weeks, and others won’t be ready for 6 months. I generally advise couples to wait 6 weeks, but I was also careful to tall the male partner to not push it until the woman was ready.

The wife had a vaginal delivery and stayed in the hospital a few hours before we went home. The doctor said four weeks and then smiled knowing we were not going to wait and she was correct because a soon as the soreness went away the next day we played and then I filled her up before the week was done! gently though…

@phil196662 It hurts just thinking about that.

1st child, yes, we waited. 2nd child, we had to wait. I had major surgery the day after my c-section.

HA! I’ve never had children and my partner and I sometimes go 6 weeks without sex anyway… Oh dear, maybe I shouldn’t be admitting this on the internet…

@wilma ; Careful insertion and lots of kissing. Yes tenderness and angle was a factor but nothing beats getting back on the horse asap!

Easily waited. As was said I’m sure I didn’t want it- I just wanted to sleep.

@phil196662 The hospital only kept her a few hours? That’s weird in itself.

@ubersiren ; We had one of the wife’s gf’s that is a nurse at the hospital so they released her under her care, why keep someone too long when the wife was feeling better.

The wife was in great shape and had relaxed herself on the way and had our daughter within a few hours, relaxed she didn’t have much discomfort or drugs so she could tell when she was ok to leave.

I was told to wait between 4 and 6 weeks as long as I was comfortable. I waited 4 weeks because I hadn’t had sex since I was 7 months pregnant… the boyfriend said he wouldn’t have sex with me because I was almost done ready to pop. I hated him for that. I swear my sex drive was off the wall while I was pregnant.

I waited but it wasn’t about waiting because the doctor told me to, it was about my relationship at the time. If I would wait again would completely depend on how soon I felt up to it and not what the doctor says.

After watching him exit it was a lot longer than 6 weeks OMFG I’m so glad I’m not a women.
