I had a natural birth so I didnt have much damage and im planning to wait as long as I could so I can heal as much as I can. Has anyone gotten pregnant right after?

With my first we waited the full 6 weeks because I had stitches and it hurt still the first couple of times. With my second I didnt have stitches and husband and I only waited two weeks before we both gave in and it was amazing. I think it just depends on how much damage delivery did.

Start slow with missionary. I did it at 5 weeks the only problem I had was my hormones caused me to be very dry so it hurt. But now I'm back to my normal wet self.

And I suggest you start with missionary style. And nothing too wild for awhile

Your bf needs to realize that your body needs to heal. However, I had sex at 5 weeks after.  It did hurt and it burned. I also got stitched up and that has an effect on sex after. I would Def tell him to take it slow and he needs to know that when u say stop, to stop. Lube helped me tremendously and after the first couple times I started to enjoy it more.

I waited  5 weeks.  I had a lot of stitches  due to an episiotomy.
It felt really  weird and  different  the  first  couple  times. It didn't  hurt though.  Got back  to feeling  good after  a couple  times.  My advice  is to just  go nice and  slow
