Sex after a c-section.

I had my c-section done on the 4th and I’m beyond ready to start being intimate with my husband again, my libido is finally back and in full force, especially since I haven’t had much my ENTIRE pregnancy.😂 How long after a c-section did you ladies wait to have sex? (My husband has absolutely zero issues with putting in “all of the work” so I don’t strain my body)

4th of….December?! Doc said absolutely no penetrative sex for 6 weeks even for c-section because you have a huge wound in your body where the placenta was and risk bleeding out or infection😅 but your choice haha

Ya I don’t know personally about c sections but I do agree with the first comment because I had questions about pools and stuff when I was pp and I guess your uterus stays open for like 6 weeks and it’s not healed yet so there’s definitely a risk factor

You still have your cervix closing even with a c section. And bleeding. I waited til most of the blood was done. We did at 5 weeks just to try and it didn’t last long. No one got off. And my hormones were the cock block. It wasn’t that pleasurable for me. I was in the mood but it definitely didn’t feel amazing maybe because I need more mentally and foreplay which we didn’t do. It’s definitely got better. I’m 8 weeks PP but it’s definitely not like it was pre pregnancy or even during pregnancy and I think it’s the hormones. But I would wait honestly from the stand point of internally I just didn’t want an infection and didn’t want it accidentally get pregnant

With a c section it’s even more important to wait that 6 weeks my ob actually recommended I wait 7 weeks because of the nature of a c section you are a lot more likely to hemorrhage with penetrative sex.
