Sex...
Posted: 11-24-06 17:45pm

Im on birthcontrol now, and my doc said my stiches should take a couple weeks to heal... So im woundering if sex wouldnt be an ok thing until after my stiches or if I get condoms for now if it would be ok... I mean I had a 2nd degree rip and im pretty scared its gonna hurt, but I also wanna be close with shawn but its kinda hard to get that close when im scared, and hes scared of hurting me...

I have never been pregnant but from what I have heard it would be best to wait untill the stitches are removed and you are completly healed which could take up to 6 weeks. If you have any major concerns you should call your doc and ask him/her when it will be ok.

If you want to saty close their are other things you can do Wink

I'd call your doctor &ask. You're supposed to wait to get the ok from your doc before you start having sex again. I think most women get the ok about 4-6 weeks after giving birth.

I think if you're scared it's going to hurt you're probably not ready yet. Definitely wait until you really feel up for it. It would suck to mess things up down there, don't you think?

But when you do go for it, use lots of lube and take it slow.

well, they'll just insert that and take it out, they won't be thrusting and whatnot. But also that's in 2 weeks, maybe by then you'll be ready?

I wouldn't do it without my doctor's ok. I'd call &make sure it's ok. But if you feel like you're ready, then go ahead &try. But like .Bridget said, use lots &lots &lots of lube.

They will give you the okay on your 4-6 week check up if everything looks okay when he gives you a pap smear.

I had sex about a week after I had the okay, I got cut with brayden though and didn't tear. Sex hurt a little bit at first but it wasnt anything like omg ouchhhh!!!
