I gave birth on October 15th and my daughter is now 2 weeks old. Ive heard that you shouldnt have sex before the 6th week or whenever the doctor says its ok to do so. Well ive been waiting and waiting and it seems like the weeks are going by sooooooooo slow and im getting so moody it seems like im pregnant all over again. My husband and I have never went this long without having sex. So im wanting to know........
what will happen if we was to have sex now with or without a condom. I know i can get pregnant again but i just need to know. I WANT SEX! I delivered vaginally and i didnt tear or anything like that. And i also would like to know if anyone else had sex before the 6th week and if so what happened and was it at all painful. THANKS 4 YOUR ANSWERS!

I think that doctors say 6 weeks to be on the safe side for all tears etc to heal. Most women I have heard from is that sex is the last thing on their mind after childbirth
However if you're wanting it, in the mood and ready for it then you should go for it but take it easy for the first few times just to be safe

Your question is very appropriate because many women are anxious to resume an active sex life after giving birth and are afraid to ask their care providers. about this issue.
You may be surprised to learn that the restrictions regarding resumption of sexual intercourse after birth are largely a result of "folk wisdom." There are no research-based studies that show an ideal waiting time. Women should be given the freedom to chose when they wish to resume sex after birth.
It is observed that it takes approximately six weeks for the uterus to return to "normal" size after vaginal birth. So, early "authorities" felt that the proscription against intercourse should coincide with this landmark.
What we actually see in practice, however, is that some women are emotionally and physically ready for intercourse much earlier. Williams Obstetrics, a respected text, states: "following an uncomplicated delivery, a six-week abstinence from intercourse makes little sense. It can be safely resumed in as little as three weeks or when comfort can be maintained".
From your description, it sounds as if you may be ready for intercourse far earlier than some other women. If you have had no tearing or episiotomy, and your lochia (bleeding) has changed from red to pink and is scant in amount, it is probably fine for you to resume sexual relations as soon as two weeks postpartum. I would advise this additional week to assure the healing and closure of the cervix.
You will want to protect yourself from another pregnancy by using a contraceptive method.
You should not resume sexual relations if you have any fever, malodorous discharge or red bleeding.

You could get a really bad infection. Your body needs to heal. That's why they say to wait 6 weeks. That and the odds of you getting pregnant back to back are VERY good. I would really suggest waiting a bit. Theres lots of things you can do besides having sex.

Doctors say 6 weeks so you can heal and because you can get pregnant easily.You can have sex though because you didn't tear.You should be safe just use a condom not unless you want another kid in the next 9 months.LOL.Have fun!!!

You might feel great now but stick something in there and you will be yelping in pain. No-one realises how much has been 'damaged' done there and that it needs time to heel properly. Wait till 4 weeks and then try but take it easy and don't expect it to be anything great for at least 2-3 mths.

You need time to heal from the inside out. Whether you tore or not. There are other ways for your husband and you to please each other without actually going all the way - manual stimulation, oral etc... And trust me - you are extremely fertile right now!! Get creative....do what you have to do, but DON'T have intercourse...you may regret it. And you may make your doctor angry and not be able to trust you. Those discharge instructions are given for a reason ;) This is coming from a nurse here. Take care and CONGRATULATIONS on your little girl!!

They say this bc you need time to heal, Without any tearing I have known people that was going ahead with it the very next week. Its up too you, I say start out slow and see if oyur are able. I hate stitches and was good to go by the 4th week.

whilst my associates saved bugging me to spend time with them particularly of staying dwelling house on my very own. i'm by using nature a loner. it drives me nuts on condition that i in my view opt to be by using myself at instances, yet them bugging me shows that they care approximately me. and that i does no longer exchange that for the international.
