We r @ 3 wks now n doc says wait til lochia finishes. much less tearing n bruising this time so think as soon as have blood free day....

Is it possible 4 me 2 re-vote on the poll wen we do?

We waited until the end of the second week, mainly because we were apart all that week though. I had a c-s, I don't think I would have dtd that soon otherwise.

Well it's been almost four months for us, and I'm only just beginning to contemplate it! My episiotomy has taken ages to heal, with granuloma removal and silver nitrate etc so I haven't been brave enough. Think I might go there soon though, DH is getting quite toey! I think I just want to get it over and done with now, and know if it's going to hurt or not, but I really have no interest in DTD itself. I feel like a bad wife!

We waited 2 weeks after my c/s birth, 'cause that's when my Mum left! DP is always a bit shy when she's staying in the next room...

Might sound good, but since Lucy passed 6 mths DTD seems to have gone out the window. I am so not in the mood when I think I might be woken up in another hour or so. Although she's been good for a few days, so DP might get lucky soon!

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!

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...

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...

[danniellabella]

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

[Lozza]

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

OMG .. my minimum is 6mths ..

NO nothing is going down there ...

[tan32]

i have to add to my previous post
Still no action in my neck of the woods its been 6 months

Not sure why ? Should make for an interesting conversation at my place tonight

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.

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

Let just say, i have a very patient DH!
We are yet to DTD since Jesse was born 3 months ago due to a LONG episiotomy recovery, AF arriving and then OB silver nitrate fix ups i just havent been able to physically do it. Im hoping AF hurrys up and leaves but its been around for 2 weeks now and who knows what obsticle will come in my way next!
