Do u really have to wait 6 weeks after you have the baby to have s*x or is that what they just recommended?

Question

true of false?

Answer 1

i waited cuz i had a c-section and i was in pain for a while but iono if doctors just say that u cant trust everything they say cuz they be wrong sometimes, but i would wait the recommended time just to be safe, it takes about 6 weeks for ur cervix to get back to normal i think thats why they say it

Answer 2

i would totally wait. Just in case. If you had any tearing you might be very sensitive down there. Or you might end up ripping something if you have stitches or what not. I would wait just to be safe. I waited a little bit longer i was very scared. plus i bled almost up until 6 weeks. And i wanted to wait cuz honestly i wanted to tighten up a bit.  

Answer 3

It's recommended, but lots of people do it earlier and have no ill effects (me included).

Answer 4

I had a C-section so i was in no hurry to do that. I waited until I was back on my birth control too so i wouldn't be pregnant again. but i would recommend waiting and when you do decide to: be gentle like another person said. there's things you can do to be intimate besides s*x until your able to .

Answer 5

depends on you, did you have stitches?

bleeding still?

they say 6 weeks because it could take that long of bleeding to stop and 'wounds' to heal ...if you feel ok...go for it ..i did ..LOL..  

Answer 6

NO i only waited a week and it was just fine  

Answer 7

True and False   This is a general guideline only. Earlier or later go slow, Be considerate and let nature answer that question for you...james the hollow earth man

Answer 8

No, you just have to wait until you are healed so that there is no chance of infection and you aren't in pain.  We waited 3 weeks and I was fine.  

Answer 9

If that were me, I'd wait like a couple months!!!!!!!

Answer 10

I got to about a whole 4 days. It all just depends on what is comfortable to you and your partner. So says my OB

Answer 11

I didn't even tear very much, only had two stitches, and I have to tell you I was plenty sore and didn't feel very s**y after having my daughter.  Forget six weeks, it was months before I felt comfortable having s*x again.  Plus I was bleeding heavily for almost a month.

Answer 12

They say to wait because you can become pregnant again if you have s*x, also your cervix may not be completely closed and if it isn't then you risk and infection which can be horrible and cause problems.  It can also be extremely painful depending on the delivery you had.
