A 2 weeks after my 1st, 2/3 weeks after the twins and about the same after my c section.

Dh was ever so gentle bless him Smile

izzybiz · 01/04/2006 16:25

About 4-5 weeks i think.

mum2sam · 01/04/2006 17:00

2wks but I didnt have any stitches or any cuts down below. Dh was very gentle and to be honest i almost felt like i was losing my virginity again did anyone else feel like this?

christ, about 5 months in my case. Was far too knackered to entertain the idea before that.

it was like a desert in there though - due to bfing I think.

PinkTulips · 01/04/2006 21:54

8 weeks, didn't stop bleeding til 5 weeks and took another 3 for both of us to get up the courage. didn't hurt at all after all the panic so could have done it sooner!

lilianna · 01/04/2006 22:12

about 4/5 days. i stopped bleeding after 3 days and didn't need stiches.

lilianna · 01/04/2006 22:16

joash · 01/04/2006 22:38

lanismum · 01/04/2006 23:49

god it was about 6 months before i felt brave enough, in my defense i did have a nasty 3rd degree tear and surgery, and it was sore the 1st time.

FastasleepInABunnySuit · 01/04/2006 23:52

omg I thought it was 4 weeks DH delightedly informed me 7 days with each Blush and he's right as well!!!

skerriesmum · 01/04/2006 23:57

At least four months! And even then it hurt!

Chandra · 02/04/2006 00:04

11 days after the arrival of the baby ???? Shock, ermh... was the baby adopted or does she have a selfish DH?

Kelly1978 · 02/04/2006 00:05

4 weeks, 3 months (was sep from exh tho), and 6 weeks. I've heard stories of woman doing it in the postal natel wards tho!

Umm · 02/04/2006 00:58

I still havent plucked up the courage my ds is now 21weeks old! Blush
I did have to be cut n have stitches down below though...

notasheep · 02/04/2006 01:34

OMG 9 months after dd and ds.
You brave sexy ladies.
I didnt have the courage,inclination or energy

mum2sam · 02/04/2006 13:45

I must add i was horny towards the end of my pregnancy and think i carried that over after giving birth but after 2mths of sleepless nights and leaky breasts well sex was the last thing on my mind.

3 weeks for me

Piffle · 02/04/2006 13:49

couple of days, had been off sex big time when pregnant and felt rampant after giving birth!
DH was thrilled
Had easy delivery and no trauma etc very scant/no bleeding until a week after having dd.

eight weeks and I was shocked how much it hurt, especially as I had a c-section!!

SoupDragon · 02/04/2006 15:38

5 months with DS1 - 3rd degree tear (from the birth, not the sex :o) with loads of stitches so was somewhat less than keen!
