    It's been 2 weeks since my sons birth no stitches or tears. My husband is already asking to try and i'm scared it will hurt. I've still got a bit of pain and tenderness down below, i need to forget the pain i went through first before he goes near me. I want to dtd and since the last 8 weeks of my pregnancy it was very uncomfortable so i want it all to go back to what it was beforehand.

    5 days this time round (was 6 days after our first birth). I didn't tear this time around and literally had started doing my pelvic floors within the first half hour after my waterbirth. I think that contributed to the success of DTD so early? Plus I was super keen as DTD hadn't been successful (so to speak) in the weeks leading up to the birth. Was straight after a shower so lochia wasn't a problem. Was a bit scared and it felt different to usual but still 'worked'.

    Ha, now I have little energy or desire.....being a mum of two has kicked in!

    oh dear,

    with my 1st i can not remeber, with second i think it was around 6 weeks, but with Lachlan we havent as yet and i must say im not even in the mood. All have been vaginal births with no stitches, quick labours etc.

    I think at the moment we are both to exhausted to even think about it, may change on our holidays next week though.

    PS i think he is to scared i will fall pregnant again.
