Avatar f tn ll be honest, I have only ever waited 2-3 weeks after delivery to have sex, and they were vaginal deliveries with stitches. I have never had a problem.
1827365 tn?1410506306 I waited 6 weeks. I also had stitches and even after waiting that long it was still painful and not that enjoyable for me. I would wait the 6 weeks like recommended but you know your body and feel likeits worth it then do it.
5492463 tn?1368752646 I had sex 4 weeks (maybe 3) after I gave birth. My stitches were healed and I wasn't bleeding anymore and my body felt fine. Called my doctor and she said 6 weeks wasn't a rule just the norm to tell people to wait. Some people require more time and some people less. Goodness after my first I didn't have sex for 4 months and when I did it was awfully painful.
Avatar f tn Sex hurt me for a while after I had my son, I couldn't fully enjoy it until like 6 or 7 months after I had him. I did have stitches, healed up nicely nothing was wrong but it was still painful..
4725879 tn?1368826572 So I was just curious as to how long after my stitches healed, can I start having sex? Anyone had a second degree tear? How did it feel when you tried?
Avatar f tn I had my baby naturally no stitches or anything and we tried 4 wks after and it was a little painful but bearable. So after that we waited another 2wks.
Avatar f tn I had sex,2 weeks after birth and it didn't cause any problem.it all depend on the individual and your state after birth.
Avatar f tn I didn't tear or anything and I was so eager that I had sex 2 weeks postpartum. Lol. I think it depends on your situation, whether you tear or not or whether you get stitches or not. For me the first time again didn't hurt but after I was uncomfortable and my pelvic bone felt a little bruised. This is tmi but when I had my son he crowned for close to an hour...
400885 tn?1297698918 Now this was 10 years ago....... but i do remember it being painful after 6 weeks (i also had stitches) with me too.... it made me not want to have sex at all.... so i waited LOL for like 5 months (probably not that necessary to wait that long) and when i did it again with plenty of lube it wasnt that bad..... I think some women just take a little longer to heal than others.....
Avatar f tn I needed 10 stitches and didnt feel like having sex, i was just too sore and even after the 6 weeks it still hurt down there from the stitches. My son is now 6 months old and for me sex is sometimes painful, like it stings at first unless we use a lot of lube.
Avatar f tn How soon after giving birth did you wait to have sex?? Im not in a hurry just wondering how soon or how long all the other mommies waited. Also if u didnt wait 6 weeks how was it?
Avatar f tn My baby girl is 4 weeks old today and we tried having sex last night and it still was uncomfortable and became slightly painful after 10mins and we had to stop.
Avatar f tn How long after having baby did you lady's wait to have sex ? I had my daughter almost 3 weeks ago.. And my bf is always asking if we can have sex ofcourse I say no sense I'm planning on waiting all 6 weeks!! Sense I got stiches down there from birth ..
Avatar f tn Took 3 weeks for bleeding to stop but I wore a panty liner for a couple more weeks as the bleeding would randomly come back one day and then be gone the next. Tried sex at 8 weeks (I had 6 stitches) and it was super painful. Tried again at 12 weeks and it was bearable. But it wasn't pain free for another couple of months. I think it just was because of the way I tore.
3588173 tn?1357317184 I waited 5 weeks after my.episiotomy with my first son. As.long as the stitches are gone and your healed. And It was sore the first couple times.but it.
Avatar f tn The doctor stitched me up too far after an epesiotomy with my first son, 4 years of painful sex until the birth of my second son. My ob said she could tell during labor I was sewn too far so she massaged the area and let me tear naturally as I pushed. Then she gave me one stitch to hold it together (sorry so graphic) and I've had no problems since. Sex is enjoyable and not painful. I'm now pregnant with my third.
Avatar f tn I waited 5 weeks because I had stitches and that's when they dissolved. It's hard to find time to have sex...not to mention having the energy to actually do it.
Avatar f tn I say go for it. Hubby and I tried about 10 days after I had my baby naturally (bleeding had stopped, stitches were healed). It is painful for me and we still haven't done it and my baby is 1 month :( this is my first baby so I don't know if it's normal.
Avatar f tn I have never had stitches and I was totally fine to have sex 2 weeks after and I only waited that long because I was so sleepy. :) my doctor cleared me before I did anything just to be safe.
Avatar f tn If you tore during birth and needed stitches, after the stitches heal and dissolve, Is it possible to tear again during sex?
Avatar f tn For mommies that already have another little one, how is sex after the baby? I'm worried that it will be different, or hurt? How is it the first time?
Avatar f tn I had ALOT of stitches with my first and wasnt cleared until 7 weeks after and even then i felt not ready. It was a few weeks after that before i took the plunge. It was tender but not too painful.
Avatar f tn s because when I tore a little after delivery and the area where stitches had been was still very tight and newly healed skin.
