sex after birth
My bf wants to have sex within the 40day of giving birth to our son cause he wants me to get prego fast for another baby. I don't mind but I know were supposed to wait..any thoughts..
It won't make your baby grow up any faster either thats bs . any good mom can handle two babies and give each of them the attention and love they deserve. You'll be fine :-)
I didn't wait w my first to have sex I think it was like 2 wks. But we didn't much until after 6 wks. I say go for it if that's what you guys wants. I want my kids close to I started trying when my 14 month old was 4 months and it took almost 8 months. Everyone will Give you your opinion but do what you want to do. :-)
back to back pregnancies was one reason women used to die during childbirth/pregnancy with such frequency
From the Mayo Clinic website:
Research suggests that a pregnancy within 12 months of giving birth is associated with an increased risk of:
The placenta partially or completely peeling away from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery (placental abruption)
The placenta attaching to the lower part of the uterine wall, partially or totally covering the cervix (placenta previa), in women who had a first birth by C-section
Autism in second-born children
Research also suggests an increased risk of uterine rupture in women who attempt vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) less than 18 months after a previous delivery.
In addition, a pregnancy within 18 months of giving birth is associated with an increased risk of:
Low birth weight
Small size for gestational age
Preterm birth
Some experts believe that closely spaced pregnancies don't give a mother enough time to recover from the physical stress of one pregnancy before moving on to the next. For example, pregnancy and breast-feeding can deplete your stores of essential nutrients, such as iron and folate. If you become pregnant before replacing those stores, it could affect your health or your baby's health. Inflammation of the genital tract that develops during pregnancy and doesn't completely heal before the next pregnancy could also play a role.

Thanks,me and him have been talking a lot about it I have a 3yr old and I'm due July 31st.this is his first and my second.we have sex regularly and I have no problems or pain right now.but he always assures me if I do have any pain discomfort to let him know but I enjoy it so I'm fine.
I won't have sex if I have stitches if I will wait at least 4weeks and know most of you were against my whole post and some with my post but it all comes down to me and if we as a family can handle it.I'm pretty sure I'm aware that its going to be hard for a bit but I know just having one child is hard..
