I had sex 2weeks after my csection with my first and once i started bleeding it didn't stop. I bled for 4months straight. Its not good to have sex so early it can put a damper on the healing process. Every case is different but after 4months they finally put me on lupron and I stopped bleeding.

Your not supposed to have sex for at least 6 weeks after a c section, if you do you can open your stitches internally. Me and hubby didn't even try until about 7 weeks with both my c sections and we took it slow, you really should have waited

I had a vaginal delivery with my first and my hubby and I had sex 3 weeks after (my bleeding had stopped a week after my labor) but I did spot after we had sex but all turned out fine. I would keep an eye on it and if it gets really bad call your obgyn or go to the er?

I read somewhere that the reason you arw not supposed to have sex after a c section is because when you "o" your uterus contracts and can cause your incision to open. im not positive this is true because i dont remember where i read it, but it does seem plausible. i would be careful if i were you. i had a c section and even though we wanted to we waited the six weeks.

I'm sorry but that can't be good, your supposed to wait 6 weeks after a vaginal delivery, not sure how long after a c section, you should call your doctor
