I waited eight weeks because I still didn't feel up for it. It did hurt me but it wasn't unbearable.  It basically got better each time. I have stitches as well.

I only had a couple stitches, but sex after birth didn't hurt me. Just ask him to go slow, or maybe you be on top so you can control the speed and depth. Just talk to your guy, let him know you really want to, but that you need to take it easy at first. You'll be fine.
