My doctor told me to have sex!

[AngryBeaver]

I have a 5 week old baby.

Her: "have you had sex yet?"
Me: no?!
Her: "Well, you'd better get on with it. Use it or lose it"

Wibu to chin her one?

MrsKoala absolutely horrifying.

Op I would complain.

We were back to it 2 weeks both times after emcs. My choice I was not forced into it.

My friend is an auxiliary nurse on a maternity ward. She tells some great stories. She has caught numerous couples at it behind the curtains. One was on a six hour discharge. Various men have asked the doctors to stitch the wife up a bit tighter one even offering a cash incentive to the doctor.

HouseofEliot are you having a laugh? I really hope so. It's FGM under a nice giggly nhs midwife guise. Since when did men have an inalienable right to sex after a new baby anyway? Look, it's sat night and I have had a few wines but FFS we've carried the babies for a good few months and then delivered them in one way or another, surely a measure of tlc rather than prehistoric stitching with husbands' presumed pleasure in mind is what is in order? Perhaps I should just be grateful I'm not married to a monster.

Your Dr is a twat op.

I'm horrified at some of the stories here.
I felt sick at the 'husbands stitch' how fucking disgusting for a Dr/Nurse to even joke about that. I'd be furious if it was said to me and couldn't be held accountable for my actions if it was said while actually being stitched .

My GP was lovely and always ran through his checklist - breasts ok? tummy ok? toilet habits, contraception. Then right at the end he'd say IF you've had sex did everything feel normal?
After my 3 dc it ranged from 2 weeks - 6 weeks I just went with what I felt but I had pretty easy births with no stitches so didn't have anything other than some bruising. Christ! if I had of been stitched there probably wouldn't have been a dc2+3.

I refuse to believe that any woman wanted to have sex while still in hospital. :( it is one of the reasons I don't think men should bet let on wards after hours

especially if she had the extra stitch.

[FamiliesShareGerms]

This is one of the most depressing threads I've read for a long time

[HouseofEliot]

Smogsville it is depressingly true her colleagues back her up. Obviously the doctors don't do it but lots do ask.

[OOAOML]

I am shocked at the sex on the post-natal ward revelations - and the 'husband stitch' idea is also appalling. I agree with Families, this thread is really depressing.
