Well for me and others might not agree with me and that’s fine, but my Obgyn told me I could have sex as soon as the bleeding stopped. I have to have c-sections with all of my pregnancies so I don’t know about women who give birth naturally. He told me if I feel good and the bleeding has stopped I could any time.

Well I didnt have sex until my 6 weeks was up and the doc said I could but your “downstairs” is a muscle so how long do you think it takes to shrink? Everyone is different I think it’s just if you are comfortable and ready to have sex not before the doc says ok though you might mess something up.

With my first and last it was 3 weeks.

With the three in between somewhere closer to 4-5.

With my son me and my fiance had sex 2 weeks after I had him. And with my daughter we waited 3 weeks. And I didn’t have any problems at all. Just whenever you think your ready.

After my 1st was born, it took 5 and a half weeks to get back to normal and the bleeding to stop. I was still sore and we had to wait another week. So we found out when the doc says 6 weeks,he meant 6 weeks

It’s pretty much when you feel comfortable. It will take a while for things to go back to normal down there, but your husband or significant other should understand. They told us to wait 6 weeks and the only time I wait 6 weeks or more is when my husband is away for the military. I think it was like 10 days for us. You just have to be really careful and use a condom. You are very fertile after giving birth.

I had sex 4 weeks after I delivered vaginally. The swelling goes down I think in about a week. But you are still bleeding and may still even be hurting. I stopped bleeding before we had sex but I did spot on my sheets while we had sex the first time. I think it was because it was the first time and we didn’t wait the full 6 weeks. But my doctor only said to wait a month. However, even then 4 weeks is not a full month but it is short a few days.

Well, the doctor tells you to wait 6 weeks, but I had sex four weeks after giving birth. I had stopped bleeding and I felt that I had healed enough by then and it didn’t feel uncomfortable.

I’ve never had an interest, before 2 months… Even then, it hurt, for a while.

I gave a thumbs up to mamal – because two of my kids are ten months apart! When they say you are extra fertile, they mean you are extra fertile.

For my first I was scared as hell to have sex again it took my 4 months to have sex again

My second and third 4 weeks.

And my midwife told me that universal norm is 6 weeks but she said she tells all her patients when you feel up to it and well enough go for it
but with protection because you can get pregnant very fast after giving birth.

I had to wait almost a year…but then again my hubs was in Korea during that time.

But my doctor told me that I should wait at least until the stitches (c-section) came out and only if I wasn’t in any pain.

It took my body 4 weeks but every one is differentt. You just have to go by your own bestjudgmentt on that, only you know how your body is feeling. If you feel readydintt be afraid to try it but take extra precautions so that youdon’tt get pregnant again

For me and my wife, it was pretty much 4 weeks and when she couldn’t take it anymore. Wait, it was when she thought she could take it again, really.
Just be gentle be gentle about it. That’s just what I did, because I was concerned about her safety. Make it romantic. Take it slow.
