I'm actually gobsmacked at this 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think it was probably around the 8 weeks mark with mine!

2 hours though. What.the.hell!! 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

Not gonna lie..it's actually made me feel a bit sick 🤢

A woman in the hospital I was in got caught doing it in the toilet with her partner!! I couldn't even be arsed to get up and have a wee I was exhausted!!

I only waited 3 weeks, but I had a section so my vagina was still in tact. I'm sure I would have waited longer if not.

Good God!!

About 5 weeks after DC1 - when everything felt pretty much back to normal down there!
Can’t quite remember how long after DC2, but was definitely longer purely because I was more knackered, and had a baby permanently attached to my boobs day and night - he was the epitome of the “cluster feeding newborn”
I’m pregnant with DC3 at the moment, and I’m sure as hell sex won’t be on my radar for a good while after!

Within 2 weeks of a section. Other stuff sooner.

But, the grim (ok one of the many grim) things about this case is that she didnt even feel it because of the epidural. Seriously, what was the point. And that soon after a section, you are usually on very frequent obs, wouldn't be allowed the curtains round and have the catheter in.

Flaming hell. That must've been messy

About 6 weeks after a forceps delivery.

What sort of man would even want to after seeing their partner give birth..............

So wrong on every level and just makes me think abusive relationship tbh.

I just don't get how it's possible after just giving birth. I've had 5 and bleed heavily for 2 weeks after. You mean to tell me they had sex while she was bleeding and a stretched fanny? 🤢 my god.

Grim. Not Envy.

3 weeks after I stopped bleeding,didn't feel the same for ages though

What sort of man would even want to after seeing their partner give birth............

One of the reasons I was happy for DH to not be there when I had our children.

To the original question ... 7 weeks after our first, 3 weeks after second (both vaginal deliveries).

3 weeks but I had a c-section and the bleeding had stopped by then. That story makes me feel sick; the blood, the fact that she could barely feel it thanks to the epidural and she must have still had the catheter in 🤢

2 weeks after CS both times. My friend is a auxiliary nurse in maternity. She said they very often get people caught in there. She has had men ask that their wives be stitched up tighter too.

About 10 weeks we tried. Was a few more weeks before I felt comfortable to try again

im of the generation that were told to wait until 6 week check up and all clear given. ive had sex on my period but having sex while bleeding from giving birth doesnt sit right with me. pointless anyway if she was numb from an epidural

Christ. We waited a good few months because I tore severely and was terrified of rupturing something.

And this is why we get 'the talk' about contraception before we've even left hospital. It might be the only chance some women get to access to contraception, women who aren't given a choice about when they resume being sexually active or when they become pregnant again. Sad but true.

4 years. With the father, my long term partner. The nurse was shocked.
I couldn't do it sooner.
12 years on, it's all good in that department.
I'm envious of that lady tbh.

Just no. I winced reading it and clenched my thighs shut! It was about 6 weeks for me, had a vaginal birth with no tears or cuts so I'm sure it would've been longer if I had more cuts to heal.

My pal did it in the delivery room before going to the ward .

My fanjo shriveled when she told me!

Not sure if it makes it better or worse but she had an emergency section.

1 year after DC1 I simply couldn't face anything being near my downstairs! It became a mental block. I also didnt feel able to talk to anyone about it because i was embarrassed. Friends that have talked about it were all back in the swing of things after 2-4 weeks.
We were careful not to fall back into that trap after DC2, but it was still a few months.

About 6 weeks after. I had a second degree year and stitches and lochia had finally finished. I was petrified, needed a glass of wine and my partner was extremely patient/careful. I was still nervous but also felt it was time to try. Glad we did but still took a few more times to relax and enjoy it.

Two hours?! Fooking hell
