sex after c section?

What was it like afterwards? Did you wait the whole 6 weeks as directed? I'm a ftm and had a cesarean 3 weeks ago and i know the time is coming soon for sex.

Thanks for your responses ladies as well as the congrats. Congratulations and good luck to all of you too! I plan on waiting these last 3 weeks but now that I've finally stopped bleeding i might get anxious. Plus i know that my fiance is ready lol (felt it last night while we were both sleeping) plus he goes back to work next week. I'll make sure we have lube first just in case.

Yeah soooo. We only waited a week and a half but we had to get creative I didn't have any pain or anything but probably should have waited I know it's the the benefit of your body healing that you wait.

We waited 3 weeks after and the first few mins hurt but after that it was fine. Just take it easy n dont be afraid of it hurting cause then it will prob hurt even more. I'm having my second in February and only plan on waiting 3-4 weeks again

Well I had sex 4 weeks after my c section after my 1st post partum visit to doctors and it did hurt so we had to use lube and that helped a lot and made it more enjoyable

I waited the full 6 weeks After I had a c section with my son and it hurt worse then loosing my virginity. After a couple times it started to feel better. I'm having my second c section on Valentine's Day for my babygirl and I'm so scarred for the recovery and the sex when I'm ready lol but like they say everyone is different!! Goodluck to u and congrats on the baby!

It was painful the first few times for me but the pain didnt last long. I've had 2 c sections it was like that both times for me but I don't think its the sane for everybody. Congrats on your little one :)
