3 weeks postpartum

Hello lady's so I had my son 3 weeks ago and my husband wants to have sex! My doctor told me to wait 6 weeks and my husband keeps insisting. He told me tomorrow be ready for me lol he going to stop at the drug store to buy some condoms. Did anyone not wait the six weeks to have sex can something happen to me before the six weeks...

It's going to hurt. He is being disrespectful if you continues to push.  I would put my foot down if I were you.

My doc said to wait the full 6 weeks to allow your cervix to return to normal. I asked why.. aside from the obvious potential for pregnancy.. she said because if your cervix is still thinned or open the physical act of having sex can push air into the uterus and cause an air embolism.. so i would definitely talk to your doc..

Dude it hurts the first couple times even after six weeks. Wait the six weeks! You don't want any complications like infection

Explain to him the risk of infection you will be putting yourself at. If he loves you, he will understand.

Wait.... your body has just went through a h*ll he can't fathom. You need time to completely heal. Sex isn't worth hurting yourself for. Plus... condoms aren't 100%. We all know that... Unless your ready to change diapers with a preggo belly you may want to wait until your checkup appt to check yourself and discuss your birth control plan. The doctors don't tell you to not have sex for those 6 weeks just hear themselves talk. Yea those 6 weeks are hard as crap to get through... been there done that. Maybe a little satisfaction done in another way will satisfy him for the time being???

You could get an infection and you need time to heal. Your husband should be more understanding
