How long after birth did you DTD if you had a tear?

I'm ready to try now (2wks pp) but I'm scared and the pp loss is all over the place (sometimes light/ sometimes heavy, sometimes normal) worried too that will make it worse... (my previous post was for when we had DS)

i had 2nd degree tear, stitches and grazes here - and after DD1 it was 4wks and after DD2 it was about 8wks (not enough time to do it sooner 2nd time round hehehehe)

They are the Ansell Skyn latex free ones! Black box, gold writing from Woolies..

Hmm very handy to know since I have a latex allergy

I was rather randomly talking about this with my GP the other day and she said at the 6 week check up many of her first time mums are like 'yeah whatever, don't think thats a huge concern now' when they have the contraception chat, but the second time mums are MUCH more likely to think it is relevant! So it is quite possible that you are more comfortable earlier second time around. Woo hoo for not hurting

4 weeks after my second degree tear.
my BFF had an episiotomy and she couldnt sit properly till about 12 weeks post birth. it all depends on the person hun

I had a 3rd degree tear and needed to have surgery straight after birth. We didn't dtd til 10 weeks pp we did try beforehand but it hurt way to much. I still sometimes find sex uncomfortable to begin with now
