orgasm after natural birth??

[water_lily80]

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.

Yep, I say go for it if you're feeling that way inclined, chick Congratulations on the birth of your little one, and yippee at getting the natural homebirth you wanted! I had penetrative intercourse around 7 days after DD2 was born (normal vaginal delivery, no tears or grazing) and everything worked just fine, so don't be afraid to give penetration a go if you feel like you're up to it, and your body is recovering well after birth. It may take a little more effort to achieve orgasm so soon after birth (well I did, anyway - just a bit of prolonged foreplay for a couple of weeks after birthing, I was a bit 'desensitised' after pushing a baby out of there and needed to spend a little more time on stimulation!), but if you're feeling ready to try, it can only help with uterine contraction, which will make your body's recovery a little easier Good luck, have fun! xx

ETA: Don't feel weird, I think that having a really positive birth can lead to you feeling a bit randy - I know I felt great after having DD2 and it made me feel pretty sexy and womanly that I had achieved the most natural and positive birthing experience I could have hoped for in a hospital setting! Take advantage of it!

Congrats on your bus and a natural birth. I also had a totally natural birth but I was way too tired to have sex a week pp lol we dtd at 5 weeks just to make sure it all worked before heading back to the OB for a check up. As they others have said the uterus contractions would probably cause a bleed but that's not a problem, I believe the contractions are to help it shrink back to regular size so I guess it's kinda a good thing? Many woman find those shrinking contraction painful but if they aren't for you than I say go for it

Definately not to soon. Orgasm is great for your pelvic floor also. I had penatretive intercourse with my first at 10-days PP but with the next 2 not until 4weeks due to postpartum bleeding. I only bled for 7days with my first. I was definately randy even days after birthing this time but due to a tear also my body wasn't up to it.
