Sex After C-section...

I know there are a few of us who recently
had c-sections for the first time and I
just wanted to give a heads up...
Sex after a c-section hurts!
I got the go ahead from my doctor at my 2
week pp appointment but we didn't do it
until last night, which was 1 day shy of 3
weeks pp. Well, I ended up making nick
feel like the worst guy in the world
because I actually started crying
afterwards. Even if you think you're
taking it easy and not doing much, you're
still straining those abdominal muscles.
I felt like I was ripped open for a few
hours after.
So yeah, not so much fun.
And I still feel terrible for crying but
it's like I couldn't hold back.

I had a vaginal delivery and was told to
wait 6 weeks before sex. My doc said to
wait even longer if I had a c section...
Giving the okay at 2 weeks pp just seems
like way too early!

I can' t believe your doc ok'd it after 2
weeks , it should be at least 4 if not
more weeks after c-sec before sex again.
Even then, it hurts. Even now 17 months
later it still hurts in certain positions.
I guess cause of the scar.
Chase when did you have the babies?????

I thought it seemed early too but figured
she's the doctor. She said as long as I
wasn't bleeding we could go ahead with it,
she just said to know my limits, take it
slow, and stop if it was uncomfortable.
It wasn't until we were finished that the
pain hit and it was bad for a few hours.
I feel fine today though.
17 months later it still hurts sometimes?!
That makes me sad...

Because you've recently been sliced open?
It wasn't vaginal pain, it was the
incision. Well, my outer incision felt
fine, it was my interior stuff.

Mine's a little below the hairline. I was
surprised at how low it actually is.

My incision is just above the hair line.
The car ride home made me want to cry. We
didn't even attmept anything until...Hmm,
a very long time after .Adriana was
born.
I was given the go ahead at my 6 week pp
check up. But .I was still too chicken.

Man,i hope whenever I have a kid that I
can do it vaginally,i would *hate* to have
a c-section unless it was absolutly
necessary!
Why did most of you have c-sections
anyhow?

I had a c-section because .Adriana was so
big, and .I pushed for over an hour and
she ended up going in reverse instead of
coming out.

I was induced when I was 3 days overdue
and after 14 hours of hard labor i'd only
progressed by 1cm, he was also "sunny side
up" and too big to come down so we had to
do a c-section. After 14 hours of hell I
didn't really care, I just wanted my baby
out. All in all, it was a little
traumatizing but it's all in the past now
and I have my beautiful boy!
