6 Week Wait & Sex :)

For u ladies that have had your baby, how long did you honestly wait to have sex again, what type of protection did u use & did u tell your doctor if it was before your postpartum checkup?? I had me son 4 weeks ago so it's been 4 weeks but I haven't had my check up yet. For some reason & out of the blue I just feel soooo horny, I want my bf sooo bad, lol sorry for tmi. I feel like my area is healed and it lips healed, not fat & swollen anymore. How did you ladies go about this?

That's exactly what I'm scared of, thinking I'm all healed & than our moment being absolutely uncomfortable. I suppose we can wait another 2 weeks till my check up.

With my 1st it was about 10 wks my 2cnd I think 12 wks and this time it will probably be even longer and after I have a baby I don't really feel like it anyway. Not really big on sex not sure how I got pregnant 3 times lol. But I think it just comes down to when you feel comfortable and want it. I found it awful the first after so I think that is why I put it of so long, also after the 1st child it takes me months to really feel anything except pinching and pains.
But I know it is not like this for everyone.
Congrats on the new baby :)

Condoms. Condoms. Condoms. You can have sec whenever you'd like after Birth. As long as you think your healed. Just use protection. At least until you have some sort of birth control.
