    i agree with "when you're ready, but take it easy" - we were about 4 weeks from memory, maybe a little before (we had a PP appt at 4 ish weeks due to some potential issues for DD after the birth, and we'd DTD before that one) - i agree the muscles may hurt again next day...

    I honestly can't remember - maybe 6 weeks with DS because thats when we felt like it, not cos we were on a time line... ITMS?

    Longer with DD1 because I had an infection, so it may have been 3 months afterwards with hers.

    It was 10 days for me!

    But we'd gone without during my pregnancy because I was sooooo scared of something happening - I know, I'm a fruit loop.

    I think for us it was closer to 10-12 weeks because I was too sore before then, or too tired and therefore not in the mood. But if your body feels ready then you probably are. I just wouldn't if I was still bleeding because that would indicate my body is still healing.
    MummaSue - I am glad that I was not the only one to have a dtd ban during pg too . First 12 weeks and last 4 weeks on Obss orders but inbetween just because I stressed about another m/c.

    I agree when ur ready and to take it easy. Remember to take precautions as well as u dont want to fall preg again so soon after a c-sect
