Question

can you sleep on your stomach like a week after you have a baby.

& did u wait the 6 weeks to have s*x or did you have s*x before you went to your 6 week appointment?

Answer 1

Good Lord, ladies....only babies have  TUMMYs.....I slept on my stomach in the hospital, I think the 2nd day.  I just needed to after so long on my back.  Had s*x the week after I got home.  Had my kids a long time ago...they kept us in the hospital  8 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  God, it was SO different.  I couldn't put my feet out of my bed....couldn't even dangle your feet til the 7th day...then you could...and the 8th day you got to actually stand up.  As for putting pressure on your womb. there was a nun who used to come in at least 2x a day for 2 days after birth  dig into our bellys and grab our uterus and squeeze....you could feel the clots flyng out.  I guess because we couldn't stand.  Hurt like h**l.  But  I have had  Drs tell me judging from my internal exam  they would never know I had had 5 children, so I guess everything went back where it was supposed to be.

Answer 2

Yes you can sleep on your tummy after having a baby as long as you are comfortable like that, me I couldn't sleep on my tummy for awhile afterwards just because it hurts my b*****s.  I didn't wait for the 6 weeks we gave in at 5 weeks but I soon regretted it because my cervix wasn't closed all the way and I ended up with a bad infection because of it.  

Answer 3

Yep,you can sleep on your stomach...I did the day I came home from the hospital...both pregnancies.

Also with my first daughter we waited the 6 weeks before having s*x because she tore me on each side and I had to have 14 or 15 stitches and was NOT willing to take the chance on ripping them...Plus it hurt down there anyway for a while.

With my second daughter she didn't tear me at all and I only had minor swelling and about a week or so after I had her we had s*x with no problem...I mean it is a little uncomfortable the first minute or so but it faded... I would say if you are comfortable enough to have s*x and don't have stitches then you should be fine to have s*x before the 6 week check up.

Answer 4

Yes you can sleep on your stomach afterward unless you have a csection. And as far as waiting 6 weeks many people do and some dont, its best to allow your body to heal, your uterus, your pernnium and all heal and let the bleeding stop for those 6 weeks, also your likely to get pregnant very easy after giving birth so birthcontrol is an issue before 6 weeks. As far as me? We fooled around before then but not much, just fooling around. We mostly waited to do the deed. Good luck~

Answer 5

i slept on my tummy the night i got home, my b*****s kinda hurt but i used alot of pillows.. I wait 4 weeks to have s*x but used condoms and everything was fine.. I didn't get an infection or anything.

Answer 6

After having my daughter I did not sleep on my stomach but I had a c section. LOL as for waiting for s*x .... I think we waited three days. Do it when your comfortable. Only you know your body!
