Its really not healthy for your body. And the risk for miscarriages and other complications are high. Waiting six weeks won't kill you. Ultimately it is your choice, but you want to give your body and your baby a fighting chance. I have seen one two many parents decide to have children that close. They could handle it, that's not the problem. It was just too much for their bodies. Most miscarried a few times. Others messed up their bodies to the point that they were unable to have children again by the age of 38. My sister is one of them. Just really give yourself time to heal. But it is your choice and I wish you the best of luck

Im neither yay or nay I'm neutral on this one I've seen good and bad things happen on this subject one thing i feel you should worry about having sex early is infection because even though you might not get stitches it's still an open and healing wound that semen may infect or even the moisture of the sexual activity can irritate u in there... Good luck
