how soon after giving birth

[mum2bejan]

did you start having sex again? I know its probably going to be the last thing on my mind, but I just want to know that I won't be doing myself any harm if its before the 6 week check up.

3 wks once the stiches had healed and the piles shrumk away.
felt odd for a bit, then normalised.
sooner the better I say!

How your labour was probably is a lot to do with it- I've never had a stitch in my life (clearly bucket bits ) which ahs to ahev helped.

This time round though, gointg by the eway I am feelinga lready at 16 weeks- I reckon, ooooh in about 3 decades?

First time round absolutely ages because stitches were buggered up and had to be restitched when dd was 7 months.
Second time, when stopped bleeding. Which for both ds and dd was at about 6 - 8 weeks.

Wow, you ladies are amazing. ds3 is 6 months old and I can't think of anything less appealing to be frank

oh god about 6 months

few days here too

i find htis amazing
iw as crying nad bleeding ofr about 10 weeks
then spent 10 weeks hating dh

then 10 weeks hating the older kdis

then i put some make up on.

then i hated the fact thebaby dindt cry

AT NO POINT INT HSI DID I FEEL LIKE SHAGGING

DIDNT CRY?
DIDNT SLEEP

4 weeks. DP was gagging for it, and I just wanted to get it out of the way (much like my virginity really!) and was curious to see if it was any different.

It wasn't any different btw.

oh god
it smakeing me feel ILL

the thought of it days afetr

all flappy and bloody and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

After this many children I doubt dp would dervive much pleasure from shagging me anyway

Couple of weeks. I'd had epis/stitches, and for some reason got the impression you had to have it BEFORE 6 week check up - when I saw the doctor was told I shouldnt have !

Was majorly loved-up with DH, because he had been so fantastic at the birth, so really really wanted to show him.

Does anyone remember the woman who posted on here saying that she felt orgasmic when she was being stitched post-childbirth? Never been able to get that out of my head.

oh come on, how can i get the blame?? i am forever telling posters to bonk and twiddles their nips !!

the 6 week thign is a myth

6 weeks and not because I wanted to, just to quell my fear that I would never be able to ever again

those of you that waited for quite some time afterwards, was your dp okay about it or mardy and frustrated?

6 weeks, and it felt weird. Got better soon after though. Had epis / stitches

still haven't....
i won't say how long...

OK about it mum2bejan, but I do know of other DPs that were completely mardy waiting 6 weeks. In all honestly, if DH had behaved like that it would have been even longer than 6 months

I think I'd be pretty safe in assuming that if it was the men that had to give birth they would never recover enough to have sex again

ditto twofalls - DP never said a word. He just assumed (rightly) that I would let him know when I was ready.

13 months with DS1.

DS2 is 12 mo and I still have no inclination. Soooooooooo tired - it kills your sex drive.

dh had enough intelligence to imagine what I was feeling like and what my body had been through.

Those of you who did the deed within a couple of weeks of episiotomy/stitches... didn't it hurt like holy hell?
