To ask how long you waited to have sex after baby?

[Bells3032]

Baby is three weeks old and thanks to a combination of a fast labour and tiny baby there is very little damage down there (had one stitch). Is it weird that i am horny and raring to go. But I think it may be too soon physically plus need to get condoms (don't want another baby soon).

How long did you wait and how was it? Any regrets?

7 months after straightforward birth with dd1

Tried at 6 weeks after a c section, it really hurt, then tried again a few weeks later and it was better. Took a while longer not to be uncomfortable and slightly painful though

7 months.

It was my sisters 30th, the first time we’d left DD overnight and the first time I’d drank in fuck knows how long.

That’s how we got DD2

I remember being around 12 weeks post birth and asking ExDH if was arsed about sex - I’d been in hospital from 26 weeks so no sexual activity AT ALL between us - his response was

“Erm… I feel like we should give your vagina a rest, love”

Still laugh whenever it crosses my mind.

About 5-6 weeks with both DC. All good, I felt relieved, fortunate and happy!

6 weeks, but tearing and stitches was an issue. Turned out to be too soon, as it rather hurt.

10 days after ELCS

Both births were less than 2 hours, small babies and no damage beyond tiny tears due to the speed that I labour, but Christ if he’d swung his dick in my directed any time within a few months I’d probably have snapped it off.

Can't remember how long exactly but quite a while with DD, stitches and bleeding for what seemed like forever.
6 weeks with ds but DP is quite large and I kept telling him to be gentle the whole time so probably not the best for him

About 7 months after Ds1 , first night alone , ds2 is 3 months and I have no desire anytime soon!

About a year for each birth. Breastfeeding with zero external help. And I'm very very fertile. Have always conceived on first try so have to be extra careful with contraception.

3 weeks after dd1.

4 months after dd2.

3 months, assisted forceps, lots of damage.

I'd forgotten how acceptable racism towards the Irish is on MN. If the OP had written Muslim or African twins, this thread wouldn't be here.

2 months after DS1, now we are 2 months pp with DD2 and I am honestly too tired to even consider it

1st 2 weeks.
2nd, 10 days.

Natural deliveries. No stitches. A little tighter than normal! Definitely use condoms, we conceived number 2 at 4mthsPP.

Do it when you feel ready. Put a towel under you and take it slow. Congratulations on your new baby.

@MasterBeth
What rubbish, even my Irish friends ise the term Irish twins!

Does no one bleed after birth no?? I bled for weeks with both my babies, and it stinks so no way I would be letting anyone near me

People saying 2 weeks Jesus I needed about 6/7weeks and even then it was uncomfortable/sore I had straight forward birth no stitches.

A year and a half, when I wanted another one

@HalloHello

Does no one bleed after birth no?? I bled for weeks with both my babies, and it stinks so no way I would be letting anyone near me

Yes of course but not heavy and I showered so I didn't stink.

Till I wanted another baby lol.

Yes. Bleeding seems to have stopped in the last day or so. Hence why now considering it. Wouldn't do whilst bleeding (nothing wrong for those that do I just couldn't deal with the mess)

@DramaAlpaca

You lost me at 'Irish twins'.

I take it you are unaware how offensive that phrase is?

Where did she say that ???

Maybe 3 months both times? Straightforward births but was breastfeeding and not interested at all. Did it both times to check that everything was ok!

8 weeks, no tears during labour
