sex after section

My doctor said I have the go ahead at 4 weeks post partum to have sex. I'm 3 weeks and 2 days now and the thought freaks me out. I'm scared I'll get pregnant again and it'll hurt :/

You're more fertile after having a baby. You would need to find a position comfortable enough so your stomach doesn't get sore. cause remember you have 9 layers of stitches inside you, its not just that scar on the outside.  Also, cause you had a section, you're recommended to wait 12-18 months before falling pregnant again to give your uterus time to repair itself otherwise it poses the risk of nurturing x

Lol wait till you get your birth control. Or use a condom. And if it hurts then so right away. I dint think it would though since you didn't have her vaginaly

I know, a lot of women get pregnant right after giving birth! It's crazy I think maybe they're more fertile after giving birth :/
