How long after giving birth did you DTD?

[~Amy~]

I think we waited about 4-5 weeks. I was soooo scared it was going to hurt! Or that, i don't know, my insides were going to fall out or something lol.

[diva det]

ummmmm in the hospital - in the shower - oops it had been a very long and bumpy pg and DH roomed in
couldn't wait even to leave the hosptial - very naughty!!

I waited til after my 6 wk checkup with DS#1, coz I had a very traumatic birth, episiotomy with a 3rd degree tear and I haemoraged. I was petrified and it hurt so now I am working up the courage to DTD soon as its now 6 wks after DS#2 and my DH is getting a bit toey.

We waited 1 week with Reny,4 days with Reth and the same day with Rory, DH couldn't wait!
But al of my births wnet smoothly, the longest was of 50min, so it was no problem here, no pain not even with DD#1

DH and i want to DTD but like everyone said. im scared too!!

[Roryrory]

I a pretty sure we waited 6 weeks or so because of the increased risk of pulmonory embolism (a low risk I know, but we are both scuba divers so have an in-built fear of this anyway)

We ended up DTD after 3 weeks.....and it didnt hurt at all.

[minimatron]

we did it at 3 weeks but had to stop coz i found it uncomfy, my bits were still swollen!!!! then we were told we should wait til our 6 week check up, but after reading this, i dont think so!!!!

Its been just over 8 weeks, and I am such a wimp.. so we havent even tried yet.

[krysalyss]

I am at the two week mark and I am still too sore but very keen. Hopefully in a week or so. We have started other stuff though....

After DD it was over 3 months before i was scared it would hurt. After DS it was about 2 months because i was just too tired to try.

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Would have been after one week if it were up to me, but we were then re-admitted to hospital, when we got out there was no contraception in the house, then houseguests it was 4 weeks 1 day! Neither of us were happy about that.

First attempt was 4-weeks after a c/s ... it hurt too much, so we never ended up finishing.
DTD properly (all the way to the finish line ) at the 5-week mark.

Well, it was about 9-10 weeks after my c/s, as my wound reopened up in 3 places on the outside (and apparently according to the obgyn, the inside stitching reopened up too) so we waited till the all clear from my doctor.
Although my abdomen was not too tender,,,, it was painful, and the 2 times since we have dtd have also been a little painful.

[lifescholar]

Hm.....11 months!! LOL, not that I had a real choice, though....I'm single!

I didn't vote, because it doesn't really count, but I think if I was in a relationship, I would have been okay at about 7 weeks PP.

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.

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.

[Amity]

Ten days with Alex, and seventeen with Ned. Was longer with Ned because I got a nasty case of thrush after some major antibiotics and anti-viral drugs on Day 3 postpartum, so was on doctor's orders to wait an extra week.

Mine were both c/s though.
