Sex postpartum

Regardless of how long everyone has waited etc. How is everyone doing it logistically?? Where are you going, where is the baby? Does she go in her crib and we go in another room. I don’t think I’ll relax for longer than 3 minutes. I don’t know how to make this happen - any tips?

Same I’m 6w pp and feel ready but there’s literally never time haha. idk how people do it. Partner either at work, baby awake or may wake up very soon, errands / chores need doing, meals making and eating, or one of us is going to do the early shift of sleep etc. Like when are people finding the time ??

Still hasn’t happened for me yet and I’m 8 weeks PP. I think one of the main reasons is I’m still not on birth control and I’m not ready for 2 under 2 just yet haha. Also I’m just tired all the time! It’s hard to feel sexy when I spend all day in pajamas or lounge wear and with a sleeping baby in the next to me haha

I’m 9weeks pp and done it 3 times. Twice in my living room during the day when baby and toddler were napping (toddler upstairs and baby in cot in the same room) and once on a morning in bed before they both woke up (again our toddler in a different room and the baby in their cot in the same room.)

At night when baby is asleep and you're awake enough and feel good enough too. With my first i was ready at 5 weeks. Waited till my stitches were okay, we went into the bedroom and my baby was in her moses basket at the other side of the room so we could kinda of listen out for her still. I'm 6week pp with my second and still haven't, I'm waiting this time as I'm having to co sleep with her. The first time afterwards isn't exciting I will tell you, you will probably feel gross and it might not last long, kind of like the first time as it might have been a little while for you. It gets easier. It does feel weird having them in the same room, my first was in her own room by 7 weeks and was sleeping all the way through the night so we had time to. If you feel ready that's okay, just make sure your partner takes it slow for you because yoy do get weird sensations inside afterwards as it does take a while to heal xx

Same as with our eldest, once down for bed, baby monitor on and take all the time we need 😂 baby is awake every 3/4 hours so that's plenty of time for us haha, eldest goes to bed at around 8pm every day too :) also no pressure on either of us is helping, we just kind of spend time together, have a cuddle etc and if things progress then crack on 😂

hasnt happened for us yet. co sleeping with little one is going well so i'm a bit reluctant to try her in the next to me again and have it be a disaster😅 with my eldest we waited until 5 and a half weeks pp and just did it while she was sleeping in the next to me. when she got older it was very much a living room situation for us until she went in her own room at 15 months (and then i instantly got pregnant again😅) xx

The baby will have no idea what you’re doing lol please don’t stress, I did it 5 weeks post partum and have been doing it ever since; when she’s fast asleep we get to it 🤣 when it’s done I look at her and she’s still fast asleep lol whilst they are tiny it makes no difference x

I tried at 5 weeks PP but have a Velcro baby. A couple of minutes in and she was screaming for me, so we gave up. Haven’t tried since.

We did it 2 weeks pp but only gently it was more oral sex than anything as I had dissolvable stitches and first time we did it just in the room and she was sleeping in bassinet in other room, now at 10 weeks pp it’s easy enough to do it in the bedroom whilst she’s asleep xx
