Pregnancy Info HOME

I waited almost two weeks then started having s_x.He only went in half way and pulled out before he got off.I never got an infection,but i felt really dry also.

WOW,that soon!! either you women are brave or really stupied.I had my first c-section(and hopefully the last)5weeks ago.S_x is so far out of my mind.I cant beleive you only waited 5days.My insides hurt and my incision still hurts.No way would i even think about s_x this soon.

What kind of man, no matter what the women feels (from hormones and pain meds) would want to do his woman 5 days after surgery? I am sorry, even if the woman "wants it" most loving men would keep the cow in the barn out of respect for ANY WOMAN who had just given birth. If my husband had taken advantage of the opportunity for s_x 5 days after my major surgery I would have questioned whose needs he really gave a c___p about.

For your info huh.My man did want us to wait.He said no that he wanted me to recover properly before we start having s_x,but i got mad at him and told him i was ready,and whined like a baby,so that is why we had s_x and continued to have s_x.He is very loving and treats me very well.He dose what ever he can to keep me from being mad,especially at him.And i never took any pain meds after noon on the second day in the hospital.

I wouldn't take it personally Heather, it seems an hormonal rage has posted anoymously all over this board tonight. I am glad you are recovering well. I remember feeling like I wanted to have s_x right away. My husband and I felt so close after having the baby and I did feel ready down there. He was too nervous to give it a try but I would have been willing. Enjoy it now because about 6 weeks postpartum you might be really tired and busy and that 'glow' of the new baby wears off a little bit. Use lubrication and if you did labor before your c-section, be really careful not to get an infection. ((or pregnant!))

Olivia, what are you talking about? I am the person who posted my response here and only here. I actually have a baby to attend to and have not visited anything else yet. By the way, OH, that is such an ignorant, crude and low cla__s response. Nice language. It is so rea__suring to know you are someone's mother and will be pa__sing that cla__s on to a brand new human. To Heather, I was just trying to stick up for you, glad you have a good man.

Sorry huh?, I got confused because there are a lot of anoymous posts tonight (how do we know huh? isn't really "OH" is my point). I too was just trying to support Heather, who I a__sume did not enjoy "OH"s post any more than the rest of us. But who knows? Is it a full moon?

I dont think "oh"should have been as rude as she was.I am just saying i was ready for s_x after 5 days,and that each woman is different.And it's okay to have s_x when your body feels ready.I would never do anything s_xual in a hospital,thats a little over board.

The reason they tell you to wait is because of the risk of infection (that's also why you can't use tampons). The area where the placenta was attached to the uterus is like a big open wound for a while after you give birth. Feeling ready doesn't necessarily mean it is healthy for you.

Heather, I just have to say that I think there is a medical reason for doctors who tell you to wait. Your body still needs to heal. So although you think you feel good, you may be causing or opening yourself up to issues you don't even know about. It's your choice, but I'd rather just wait until some weeks go by and I've had time to heal. Since you are not a doctor, you should not tell people to have s_x when they feel like it. Not that they would take that advice, but leave it to the professionals. Feel free to share your experience, but to act like because you endured or enjoyed it, that makes it okay (against medical advice) just doesn't seem responsible.
