Sex before your 6week vist after birth! Had sex at 1 mth???

What they say is you'll know if it's too soon. If it hurts it's not healed. I don't know about an infection in the cervix having anything to do with sperm. Unless you ripped something, tore something or had a difficult labor, you should be fine, your body will tell you when you're ready.

I have two babies, 10 1/2 months apart....

Didn't mean it that way but dr. said 2 weeks, and if it doesn't feel right, wait longer. I also had a very simple birth with no tearing. A lot of dr's have thrown out the 6 wk rule because it doesn't make sense, it makes frusterated husbands.

I had sex 4 weeks after my second daughter was born. I felt great, wasn't painful and we used a condom. I asked the doctor about it during my postpartum check up and he said if it didn't hurt then so be it. It depends on how the mom feels. 6 weeks is an estimation. Some women feel comfortable doing it sooner and some women feel comfortable doing it a lot later. So, I think you'll be fine. Just remember to use protection getting pregnant again this soon is very risky.

I had sex 4 weeks after I had my first baby. I felt great so saw no reason to wait. Well, I found out later that right after you have a baby, you are extremly fertile. I hope you used protection. I ended up getting pregnant even after we used a condom. My two kids are 10 months apart in age.

Different doctors will tell you different things. Some say it's best to wait the 6 weeks because it lets your body heal and get back to normal, others say, as long as you feel good and are recovered, it's fine.

It's not a bad thing at all. Just protect yourself or your going to end up getting pregnant right away.

I had sex about 3 weeks postpartum and everything was fine! They say wait 6 weeks because thats how long it usually takes to heal, especially if you had stitches. I should've waited but I didn't, but I healed fine and I got no infections or anything. It is normal to bleed after sex when you are in the postpartum period. Also, make sure you use a condom so you don't get preggo again! :)

Congrats on your new baby as well!!

They say to wait so your body can heal properly, I also had sex at 4 weeks, and then started bleeding again badly the next day so I learned my lesson, I read up about it and some books actually say to wait 4 weeks, so I believe it's all in your doctors opinion! I would just look out for an discomfort down there, or more bleeding then usual... if you dont experience either of these then your probably fine!

Some women experience discomfort when they start having intercourse again after delivering a baby. If you've had an episiotomy or vaginal laceration, the repair site may be uncomfortable for weeks or even months after delivery. Waiting to resume intercourse until the site is fully healed, usually about six weeks, is important for long-term recovery.............

I waited 2 months before i had sex again after i had my son by c-section, they told me to wait 6 weeks which was no problem for me because sex was the last thing on my mind after all that pain and taking care of a newborn.

You can get infections from having sex soon after giving birth because you are not completely healed even if you feel like yourself again.

There are other ways to have sex without penetration. Don't let your partner pressure you to have sex, believe me he will live -my husband did.

No its not such a horrible thing. It all depends on how well you feel and if you've healed quickly. A lot of people don't wait that long. If you didn't have any pain or bleeding or anything like that then I wouldn't worry about it.

They say 6 weeks because they want you to have stopped bleeding and be all healed before any sex so that way if problems occur you can spot them. I wouldn't worry about it tho if you are healed and not bleeding and if it felt fine. I had to not have sex for 8 weeks after birth and I asked at 6 weeks if I could and they said yes but asked about the bleeding and if I felt I would be able to tolerate it.....but yeah your fine just be careful and let the OB know that you did have sex and that it was fine for you

I think its bad cause your not fully healed but i had sex 3 weeks after birth with my first and then 6 weeks after with my second, my doctor told me if i feel ready go for it, just remember that your more fertile after having a baby, if your not already on birthcontrol i would get on some.

You're at high risk for infections if you aren't completely healed. I waited the full six weeks after my first baby but only waited three weeks after my second baby. If you have any pain or strange symptoms you should call your doctor asap.
