When can I have s*x again after delivery?

Question

I had a relatively easy delivery about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I only got 2 tiny stitches at the top of my "kitty cat". Will I mess my insides up if I have s*x in another week? I think I might lose it if I have to wait another 4 weeks.

Answer 1

Congratulations!

First off people heal at different speeds, sometimes some woman arent ready to have s*x a year after their delivery. As long s you feel comfortable and it doesnt hurt you too much to have s*x I would think it would be absolutley fine, i wouldnt if you have stitches but once theyre out i would say go for it! Have fun!

Answer 2

Doing the math, I assume that your doctor recommended the six-week-wait.  

This is because your uterus is VERY susceptible right now to infection.  So even if your outer parts (your v****a, cervix, etc) are feeling fine, your uterus has NOT had an adequate amount of time to heal.

NO, NO, NO!!!!  Do NOT have s*x until your 6-week checkup.  

If you can't hold off, m********e.  But NO INTERCOURSE and NO TAMPONS.

Answer 3

The doctor usually asks you to wait 4-6 weeks to allow your cervix to close. You won't mess up your insides, but you could get an infection in your uterus.

Answer 4

You should wait until the doctor releases you.  You are more likely to get pregnant after delivery..at the post checkup you will discuss birthcontrol options.  They dont suggest 6 weeks to be mean..it really is for health reasons.  You can tear the stitches, and cause some damage.  There is also risk of infection.  I would wait, just as I did with my THREE children..but..I suppose you will do what you wish..so..GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

They tell you to wait 6-8 weeks but I only waited about 2 weeks with both of my deliveries.  

Answer 6

you can as soon u become ready  and feel comfortable to it..........Good Luck
