I really don't know who to ask this question..lol


Okay..I had my baby 6/7/12
It's been a little more than 5 weeks..It will be 6 week this Thursday. At my 30 day (4 week) check up my dr said it was okay to have sex in two Weeks(7/19) that I'm healing very well.,,
This pregnancy left me really traumatize labor & delivery. Well a lot of you had read my labor and delivery traumatizing  story... I was in labor for 13 hrs and 3 of those hours I spend pushing because baby didn't want to come out. His umbilical cord was tangled around the baby's leg and neck so it made it really difficult during delivery that I tore down their...this my 3rd pregnancy first time I have ever gotten stitches.. :(

So I was wondering if someone else had gotten stitches and how long did it take you to have sex?

I'm afraid that it's gonna hurt, that maybe it hasnt healed properly and I'm gonna tear again...I'm not in any pain.. :)

I had my baby 7 Weeks ago by csection to and I tried to resume sex, but it hurt to much so I had to stop. It burned is  that normal after a csection? This is my 2nd baby and I don't remember feeling like this with my 1st.

I had tore my first pregnancy and doctor said I was healing great but I didn't resume sex until 2 months later after having my baby. You are in the clear you won't tear again but I was a little dry at first cuz of breastfeeding.

I didn't tear this time around but I won't resume sex for a while.

I didn't get stitches, but I'm sure if the doctor said you are healing then that means you're ready. Remember, I had a c-section on the 25th of May and I feel just fine and my incision is closed! I just seen my doctor today and he said I'm okay to do what every I want. My baby is going to be 8 weeks this Friday!! I'm sure you'll be okay and if it does hurt, it'll be because of the long time without having sex, I don't think the tear will hurt. Just start off slow!!
