episiotomy

The doc said not to have sex for 6 weeks.  For those who got an episiotomy, How long did you actually wait.

Girl yes those contractions are worse. You can do it next time and trust me you won't feel the cut and they numb you for the stitches

I did but I honestly felt everything up until I had to push. That's when I didn't feel anything.. they've told me the contractions is the hardest part so I'm feeling confident I can do it without an epidural,, but then again I wouldn't want to feel the cut or stitches lol?

Everyone's different it also might depend how much they cut you. If you're doing fine then it might be a fast recovery for you. I was in agonizing pain,ever since the epidural wore off in the hospital and got worse after days: (

We tried around 4 weeks and it was PAINFUL. Felt like my stitches was ripping away. I had to wait about two months before having sex again.
