How soon after?

[Mad Scientist]

We waited til 6 weeks for both. Mainly because of the bleeding. I had an episiotomy with DD1 and couldn't walk properly for weeks, so I'm in awe of you ladies who could DTD 3 weeks after! I had a 2nd degree tear with DD2 and the healing was so easy compared to the epi, so if I wasn't bleeding we probably could have done it earlier. If you feel like it, why not try? You can always stop if it hurts too much. I do suggest that you use a lot of lube though. It wasn't until about 6 months after birth before I could DTD without lube. All the hormones can make you quite dry down there. Congratulations on your anniversary xx

we almost went there at about 5 weeks but DH insisted we wait and it didnt happen till 8 weeks and it hurt for a while after that but we just did it to get into it lol

9 months. Bled for only a couple of weeks, not evem but had a c/s and absolutely NO interest whatsoever while Bump was BF hardcore overnight etc.

ETA: But I also had below zero libido while I was pregnant too, so the poor guy didn't get any for about 16 months!
This time though, have raging libido, so who knows lol Hopefully for him, all goes well and will be back in the saddle within a couple of months lol

It was/ is the same for us. I am soo not interested. We DTD about 3 times when preg, and about 4 times since birth. So about 7 times in the last 22 months!

3 weeks with number 2, I had tearing and stiches but all was ok by the 3 week mark. With DS1 we waited almost 6 months but I also had other complications as well.

With DD I had an epis and we back into it within 3 weeks and exactly the same with DS . We just couldn't wait any longer and we had no probs at all.

It was under 2 weeks. Pretty gentle at first. I had a first degree tear and 2 stitches.

However whilst we were having sex so soon after I would say it wasn't until about 4-5 weeks that all was back to normal in the DTD department.
