orgasm after natural birth??

[water_lily80]

mmmm ok, so i had a great, totally natural birth with no pain "down there".

I know you are supposed to wait 6 weeks for penetrative sex, but what about orgasms only? Can this cause any harm? I had my baby 7 days ago...

TIA

Firstly WHOOP!!! nice work!!
Secondly, I don't imagine an orgasm could wreck anything down there. Maybe cause your bleeding to become a little heavier by making everything contract? Not too sure.
I was having full, penatretive intercourse less than 2 weeks after having DD... didn't hurt me (and hubby LOVED it! haha).
( I had an easy VB with no tearing)

Enjoy I say!

I had a non penetrative orgasm at seven days pp, and had a bleed afterwards. I got scared and stayed in bed for a few days.

I also had a natural birth, no tears and am feeling a *little* bit that way inclined too! I'm 9 days pp, but I'm not going to act on it...had a big bleed yesterday, and my normal bleeding is already very heavy, I don't want to increase it at all.

Lol Water Lily, I was going to post a thread just like this! The only thing I was thinking is that it'd cause the uterus to contract, but that can't be too bad a thing right?

I think 6 weeks is a guide... I was having penetrative sex sooner than that, (less than two weeks after DS2). I think the risk is of infection, the same reaosn they tell you not to use tampons. I don't think a non-penetrative orgasm would hurt

Thats what I think too. Its more about the risk of infection etc. I was nowhere near ready at that timeframe Well done on the natural birth with no tearing!!! You must be super proud

Wanted to add, how you feel about it is probably the best indication... I have had times where I didn't wait long at all and other times where it was weeks & weeks. And I think you will find that peoples experiences in general are wide & varied. So go with what you feel comfortable with

Thanks ladies!!! I was surprised I couldn't find any other threads on this topic and thought I must be a randy freak! lol.

Mind you, I nEVER had the urge this early after my others.

So I asked my midwife at her visit today, and she said there was no time limit on orgasm only, and she said it could only help with contracting it down...(yay!) and heaps of ladies show up to the 6 wk check preggers already.
