I must add , that after I gave birth via cesarean , I didn't get pregnant until 4 years later with my son . & I never used any kind of birth control . . . With that being said I am not a fertile human being . But for some reason I got pregnant around the same time I conceived my first child . . . Hmm!

I dont know about the csection part. But I can say I had sex sooner than 6 weeks with a vaginal birth and I did not get pregnant. I haven't been on birth control since I was 17 I'm 24 and have a 3 1/2 yr old and 2 month old so I'm just not fertile in general.

I have had 2 c sections and I always waited till after I stopped bleeding but used protection bc yes you are just as fertil after a c section as you are after a vaginal birth. .. Also no rough or crazy sex because your not completely healed yet and it can be easy to rip something just lay back and let your hubby or bf do all the work and make sure they know not to rough goodluck

Most men don't want to wait , & most women give in to it & end right up  learning that they are pregnant a few weeks after once they go to their visit at the doctors . If you feel pressured by him then you need to remove yourself from the situation for a while . & being on no birth control will put you at a high risk of becoming pregnant again of course . . . Don't give into what he wants , maybe he needs to go to the doctor with you & see why it's not okay to do so. I waited a while before having sex after my cesarean, just because you didn't deliver vaginally means nothing , your body is still open.

Well its not his call. He'll live a few weeks without, it aint something he needs to have to survive. And (I saw tour current post) if you're not bc jist yet and want to be before having sex again then do that. Its your body, and if something were to happen if you did have sex before waiting till you were at least ready. That would not be good. Wish you luck in dealing with him.

I think the wait it still 6 weeks. As for being fertile I've heard you are very fertile after having a baby. But of course everyone is different.
