I didnt tear or have to have stitches, the outside of my vagina feels fine. Im just afraid of what it could feel like getting it in. Do you know? Could something happen. I had the shot before i left so not worried about getting pregnant. Thanks

Your vagina just went through a trauma don't have sex yet this is the time for healing. You could get an infection you could hurt your cervex and vagina and you can do the damage you didn't do during birthing like tear and swell and start bleeding again (if your not) Thats why a doctor tells you to wait 6 weeks.

it is recommended that you wait until your 6 week postdelivery checkup - some people do have sex sooner though. I would think it would hurt - even though you didn't tear and you feel fine, you have been through a lot and it might hurt for you to have sex until you give your body time to recover. If you are breastfeeding, you will be dry and need to use a lubricant to help. I had a hard time the first few times I had sex after my delivery - it just hurt and didn't feel good. But, hey, that gives you a chance to be creative and find other ways to enjoy each other! Good luck!

It would probably hurt like a *****, honestly. I waited the required six weeks (although I didn't want to!) and I'm glad I did. The first time I had sex after having my first son, I had to stop because it was so painful. Your hormones really do a number on your body, and many women have a problem with dryness. Not to mention your vaginal tissue has been through a LOT and is very sensitive/tender...especially only 10 days after birth.

Wow - are you crazy??? LOL
Seriously - not a good idea. Even if there was no tearing you are not completely healed and those muscles are just not ready yet. You can really hurt yourself and run the risk of a whopping infection. I am afraid that sex has to wait - at least 4 weeks and then you need to consult your doctor before you do.... good luck!

I had it 2 weeks after and it was fine. It didn't hurt a bit. of course i had no stitches or anything but it depends on the person. Worth a try. Take it slow. Good Luck

You are still not back to normal size inside and therefore it can cause an infection. You do need to wait until your doctor says it's ok. I had to have a D&C two years ago when I lost a baby and I asked the nurse that very question, she didn't know what she was talking about when she said any time, the doctor was very upset with her!

I would wait i mean i did for 6 weeks but i had a c-section. I know of people that were pregnant when they went to the doctor for their 6 week check up so yea people don't wait.
If you are going to tell him to be gentle with you and if it starts to hurt in anyway stop doing it!!!!
If you feel up to it go for it but if not don't just because it maybe him that wants too. Cause my husband wanted to have sex a week after i had my son after a c-section..can you believe that..I was in so much pain.
This is no lie right here (i guess not) but my sister said she had sex the day after having her son.
Just be careful and congrats

Im sure it would be fine.
I personally waited but that was my choice and id also had stitches.
I think the main thing to think about is mental scarring. I was quite nervous after id had my daughter and id read that if women have a fear about having sex it can cause a mental problem which results in actual physical pain. Plus if you have a traumatic experience it can cause your body to feel pain everytime you have sex.
The choice is yours..its all about what your comfortable with.

I would wait at least 6 to 8 weeks for sex. Let you body take a break after having to share it for nine months. Then again it depends on who wants to have the sex. You or the man.

You risk infection and possibly hurting internal organs which could ultimately effect your chances at having another child if you have sex too early. Wait the amount of time your doctor told you too and just "fool" around for the time being if need be.
