Oh, honey. I wish you would wait!! Think of all your body has just gone through. Respect that. I delivered a 8.5 lb baby 9 months ago with no tears, and no problems, but I also know your body is open long past 2 weeks, and you are HIGHLY susceptable to infection. More so than normal. I am going through a UTI now, and I shudder to think how much worse it could be if it was during the early postpartum days. Take care of yourself. Sex is not going anywhere. You need to care for your health. Wait the reccomended 6-8 weeks at least.
Be blessed!!

No. You need to wait a minimum of 6 weeks. Your OB told you that after he/she checked on you in the hospital. You probably weren't listening to his/her instructions. The nurse or nurses would have reminded you as well. Your body needs to heal & rest from such a long, traumatic experience.
When you decide to have sex again, make sure to use some form of birth control, condoms & foam, contraceptive gel, IUD, Depo Provera shots, female condom, Ortho Evra patch, Nuvaring or the pill. Ortho Tricyclene makes a low dose now which has fewer hormones & less side effects. Discuss with your husband the best method for your needs & also discuss it with your GYN.
Having kids too close can be costly & can cause long term damage to your uterus. It's best to space kids apart at one year minimum. It gives your body the best chance to completely heal & recover from childbirth.

Hi there,
As many have said before me, you want to wait 6 weeks. Not only to give your body a bit to chill out after the baby, but you are INCREDIBLY fertal right now. The chances of you getting pregnant again right now are extreamly high.Not to mention it's easy to get inefections right now.
It's great that you aren't bleeding anymore but even still give it time. The body has been to heck and back and really needs the rest.
Good luck and get lots of rest! You're going to need it!

You aren't supposed to until 6 weeks post labor. I only waited 2 weeks with our son and 1 week with our daughter. I think it's fine as long as your stitches are healed and you're not sore. Keep in mind though that you can get pregnant right away so be sure to use protection unless you want another one in 9 months.

I think it's best to consult your OB-GYN. He or she would be best to advise you on whether you are ready for sex based on the condition that you gave birth in and how your body is afterwards. Some women are ready in a few weeks, others may need more. It varies, and best is to have a qualified person examine you first instead of just relying on a certain set number of weeks alone.
In the meantime, perhaps you can try other alternative methods of pleasuring your husband--I'll let you figure this one out yourself ;)

My doctor told me to wait at least 6 weeks. You need to give your body time to heal internally. You may feel fine, you may not have ripped, and you may not be bleeding. But you don't know how your body has healed inside. Give it time. Sex is not worth hurting yourself.

No you need to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks before you have sex.
Warning: It may hurt when you have sex again. It did with me.

Yes from experience.I know they say to wait till 6 wk.,but heck with that.My and my fiance are the same way.We lasted 2 weeks after baby till we had sex.But then again we ended up pregnant again.You are most likely to become pregnant again at this point.Do what you want and be careful.As long as your not hurting.Start off nice and slow,go from there..Have fun!!

Even though you are showing no outward signs of discomfort, part of the reason you are supposed to wait is because the cervix takes time to close fully. Having intercourse before it is fully closed leaves you extremely vulnerable to infection.
You need to get the okay from your doc to be on the safe side.
