Sex after vaginal delivery

i have the same question and i’m even more terrified because i ended up having a 4th degree tear.. so idk how it’ll go 😭😭😭

I had a 3rd degree tear and so nervous to think about anything going in there at all. The first week all my external stitches busted so I have a fear the inside ones will too even though I would be well healed by the time I’m ready to try

3 ish weeks then 4 weeks and every day since lol no bleeding hurt a little bit my guy is really big so it always hurts a little

I’m 7 weeks pp today and I still haven’t had sex. I feel sore still here and there so I’m deff scared to. I had a second degree tear my dr said there’s still scar tissue she prescribed me this cream for two weeks and should be good to go after that but I’m still scared to.

I'm almost 10 weeks pp and nothing goes down there 🤣 I'm terrified

I tried a few days ago at 6 weeks. Did not go well we stopped immediately. I haven’t been checked and wont be til 8 weeks. I still feel stitches in my second degree tear

Wait 6 weeks and ask your doctor if you’re ready. Your doctor will know best by the healing of your stitches. I had second degree tears and I was suggested to wait till 6 weeks. Once you do have sex though he NEEDS to be gentle and you NEED to communicate if he hurts you. If your hubby lacks impulse control and goes rough/fast even when you’re uncomfortable it’s a no go 🚫 You might bleed but if he’s gentle and you’re communicating it’s unlikely you will or have any significant bleeding

I had intercourse two weeks after, but the bleeding had stopped already. At first, it was a definitely sent to them and I was nervous because it’s so tight. I had a natural delivery with a very minor tear

I waited until 5 weeks, but I did not have any stitches that needed to heal. I waited until I felt comfortable and confident that I would enjoy it. I think it’s important to not just be physically ready, but mentally and emotionally ready as well. There is no benefit to trying if it’s going to stress you out! Trust your gut on when you’re feeling ready and if it gives you peace of mind wait until the doctor gives the okay for your healing.

I also had 4th DT as well and I can’t think of that so soon, maybe after several months..🥲 I feel a little scared, hopefully it would still feel the same🙏🏻🥺
