How Long After Giving Birth to Have Sex
Posted: 10-26-05 12:34pm

Ok how soon can you start having sex after giving birth I know what the dr says but like how long did you woman who have had a baby wait? I am so scared.

Now what is the perfact way to do it again for the first time I want to really make is special..

It didn't feel good to me until he was about 4 months old. I tried at 4 weeks post partum, but he only got the head of his penis in. It hurt like hell, and I only had one stitch.

I think it took until my son was about 2 months old. Even then I had to go slowly...

Tysonh, when you have children sometimes you may rip and then you have to be sewn back up. You vagina is stretchy, it goes back in place, it doesn't stay big for ever.

I had sex a week after I had my daughter. I had her naturally! I didn't tear or anything, she was 7lbs 6.6 oz. The first time I had sex I took it slow until I was sure that everything was going to feel alright.

Yes that is fine too. Is there any reason why you feel uncomfortable? Do you not want to go full force?

Wait 6 weeks at least. I wish I would've now i'm worried I might be pregnant again. Plus that way it will feel less painful that first time. Take it slow until you both are comfortable. Plus I was told if you don't wait till 6 weeks after having a baby besides being real fertile, you could get a really bad infection.

Its going to be abit sore, I had infection in uterus so I had to wait 6 weeks but earliest can be when you stop bleeding........

By the way your dryer than normal down there get some k-y jelly I know not everyone is the same but it has to do with hormones!
