your cervix is still too soft for sex. the penis could injure it. thats why the healing time is a full six weeks.
You can get a pelvic infection. It happened to my former sister-in-law. There are other ways to please each other.
I agree with Britton but then again it is totally up to you!
The main reason is to let the episiotomy heal. The little slice they make to open the birth canal in advance to avoid tearing.
Sex too soon will just tear it back open, and it will not heal properly as a tear, instead of a precise cut. Basically, it is smarter to wait two more weeks until you are fully healed. There are other ways to have mutual orgasms, use them. If you don't, sex could actually become painful for you for a very long time.
If you are no longer bleeding, then yes you could have sex. However, you are still at risk of infection and the tissues may not have completely healed. You would also need to use a condom as birth control, and the spermicide might cause you some irritation problems. It really is best to give your body the six full weeks of recouperation time, but there are many who don't and don't have a problem. There are also those who do and find themselves pregnant again. Back to back pregnancy is hard on you and the second baby. There are other ways of giving and recieving pleasure other than penetration intercourse, and I would encourage you to try those instead- at least until your checkup in two more weeks. But if you are determined to do it, be sure to take precautions. Also have plenty of lubricant on hand, as you will probably need it.
go oral.
Yes, you want to wait. The word that explains this is "Ow!" Things are still healing. You don't want to damage things before your body is ready.
My first husband (who was very abusive) forced himself on me before I was completely healed and I was in screaming pain for hours afterwards. Although I trust your husband is not a jerk and would be gentle with you, I still strongly suggest that if you're going to be sexual, refrain from intercourse and wait for your body to be fully ready. In times like these, mutual masturbation can be just as wonderful.
i had sex three weeks after but i had a csection but u can try it and if it hurts u just stop and try again it 2 weeks or whenever u feel u are ready
