How long after giving birth did you DTD?

[chocolatecatty]

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!

it was nearly 3 months as i teared up as well as down and my stitches took a while to heal..was so scared,it was a bit uncomfy at first but it got better and now is better than ever...

We tried the first time after at about 3 weeks but didn't last long it hurt too much then a week later we tried again and i was more relaxed still a bit sore and gets better everytime. But i was very scared and my husband was hassling me a bit to try but they never really understand it takes a while to heal properly

We dtd after 21/2 weeks. After a vag birth with ventouse being cut and tearing internally it was a little uncomfortable. DH was really good, quite happy to wait it was me that tore his clothes off. I wanted it badly after having near no libido for half the pregnancy.

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.

it was about 5 weeks post baby... i practically jumped him..lol but he was very considerate... because i knew it would hurt a tad (even after a caesar).. it is still abit sore now (maybe i am not as lubricated?) sorry TMI...

I was almost 3 months because I had a massive scar and was so sore. Also I beld for about 11 weeks.

DD1 we waited about a month, DH was pretty turned off after seeing her emerge from there, kwim? Thank God he was off the idea, I needed that time to recover from the swelling, grazing and bruising I suffered...

DD2, I was hell keen to get back in the saddle within just a few days - no swelling, no grazing, I felt like I hadn't even had a baby... DH wasn't turned off this time but we waited till 7 days after the birth just to make sure we weren't going to 'break' anything
Then we did it again the other night (3rd time since giving birth) and he forgot to use lube... now I'm sore lol. So sucks to be him, he ain't gettin' it again for a while now, as payback for that.

DS2, 3 weeks to the day after natural birth with 1st degree tear and stitches. All was fine!!

DS1, Around 6 months after suction delivery, ep and manual removal of placenta, then D&C at 12 weeks to remove retained products.

[New Dawn]

with DS it was ages, about 12 weeks or longer ( poor BHL ) but I did have a tere so it HURT and HURT alot...

DD1 I think it was about 3 weeks...

DD2 I cant remember but it would have to be before 4 weeks, but that was only because BHL was going to be away for 6mths so if it wasnt then it would have been a very long time

A few weeks I think? Just to see what it was like because I had zero libido for a loooong time after DD was born.

[sepata]

I think it was just under 2 months from memory. I had an episiotomy so got a bunch of lovely stitches.

4-6 weeks has been fairly normal here. Usually when the post-partum bleeding has finished.

[Frangipani Lou]

3 weeks. It would have been sooner but I was unsure if it was ok to DTD earlier.

[Joeve]

Still haven't and we are 12 weeks pp
