Already moms how long did you wait?

To have sex post partum? I wasn't with my first orbs father when I had him so there was really nothing to wait for. lol. This time around I am with my second sons father, and since we stopped having sex at like 35 weeks we are both feeling VERY frustrated and deprived. Lol. We had our baby boy on the 18th and I know it's too soon but did anybody not wait the whole 6 weeks.?

I did at 4 weeks but my husband was leaving for over a month so I couldnt wait personally. And I was seen by my doctor for a 4 weeks check up like 2 days later and he said everything looked fine and I was good to go lol.

I am surprised no one has mentioned that it is unsafe to have sex before your cervix has closed. That is why you must wait till your o.b check up. And let him give you the go a head.

There's no other good boards like this one! I went on the one for parents with babies 0-6 months and its so dead, no one uses it!

When you go in for your 6 wk check up,  let your doctor give you the okay. I was good at 6 weeks, but everyone heals at thier own pace.

You got pregnant right after your second.? I know that woman are super fertile after giving birth and we decided on not having anymore kids so I'll have to be extra careful. But I'm like super dying to have sex. Lol. Did it feel really different.? I'm also nervous about if it's going to feel different to my bf.
