Sex after c section

7 replies

Lily189 · 22/10/2020 13:31

This was my first pregnancy and I had an emergency c section 21 days ago
I'm feeling ready to have sex again but I'm scared about positions
My scar isnt giving me any pain and I feel good but know I need to be easy with my body

What positions did you find easiest
Did it feel different

Any advice be great thanks

3 weeks is so early, your scar maybe healing well from the outside but you’ve got internal healing happening too. Really would wait until you’ve been cleared at your 6 week check.

I waited 4 weeks but then scar stared hurting again so be careful.

I'm 4 weeks post section and can't wait to have sex! DH has touched since I was 17 weeks pregnant so I'm gagging! Haha!
However, I am giving it until I'm 6 weeks post section before we do have sex, just to be on the safe side.
I think it will be quite standard missionary as that doesn't require much from me, but saying that as it's been so long, DH will probably only last 30 seconds anyway, so it won't matter! 😂😂😂😂

We waited 4 weeks after my c section, it was great. No pain, and felt normal. Think we tried missionary with him raised slightly so he didn't rub my scar.

But then just carried on as normal after that first one. Good luck it's nice to feel connected again after so long Smile

I didn't have a c-section but jeez I waited 4 months. Sex was the last thing on my mind with a tiny baby 🙈😂

I hardly bled after my c section and had sex pretty soon after and it was absolutely fine. It was obviously not acrobatic by any standard but just take it slow. Just remember you’re really fertile and you can get pregnant if you’re not careful😂

I waited under 2 weeks with each of mine, but don't remember any specifics.
