I'm not worried about the pain but someone told me if I did it too soon my uterus could rupture. I guess if it starts so hurt we would stop lol

Not gonna lie I was a little nervous at first but it didn't hurt like I was anticipating. Lol. I to was on bed rest for 7weeks before i delivered so we didn't want to wait any longer.

4w with my daughter and 8w with my son. We waited with our son because neither of us wanted to risk a pregnancy, I was still bleeding, and I had no feeling from the waist down. I wasn't able to walk unassisted, much less have sex.

I had sex at 3 weeks...couldn't wait. Was so horny I guess from hormone changes. Sex has been great since, never was dry, never hurt, feels even better then before giving birth believe it or not

Yup i had sex after the first week. Not really my choice though, my sons father was abusive if he didn't get what he wanted. But anyways I felt like I was ruined down there n sex didn't feel the same until 18 months after delivery. Idk if it was related to early intercourse but I wish I didn't do it.
