Sex post baby

[Missmac84]

My DH hinted at us having sex tonight. 5 weeks post baby....
AIBU in thinking it's too soon?
My stitches from the tear haven't gone yet, I feel shattered constantly and I don't feel in the least bit sexy, attractive or desirable!
Should I stop thinking about me and start thinking about him?
I must add - he would never push for it - I've said no and he absolutely respects that and wouldn't keep pestering until he knew I was ready. But part of me feels guilty.....

Of course and I totally understand why for you sex wasn't the agenda.

When i had ds1(1997) the midwife insisted i must DTD before my 6 week check. I'd had episiotomy & it was way too soon & very unpleasant. I dont know how long after dd & ds2 it was, but somewhere between 2 & 3 months would be my guess. I had 3rd degree tear with dd. Don't do it too soon, it will cause you more harm in the long term if you're not ready.
