    With my first birth which was a VB I had a minor tear but I still didn't want to DTD until about 10 weeks LOL. It had well and truly healed by then and it wasn't a problem so we could've done it sooner.
    I had some pain if I stood too long or walked around too much for a few weeks after. And peeing hurt for quite a few weeks.
    Second birth was a c/s which was three weeks ago today, I have found the recovery quite similar in many ways to the VB although the first week was probably worse. AFter getting past that though I was back to my normal activities (driving by day 6, shopping day 9, and haven't really looked back since then) Now I'm just a bit tender in the belly but certainly feels no worse than my girl bits felt three weeks after the VB We havent DTD yet but I don't imagine I'll need to wait 10 weeks this time since downstairs hasn't had any trauma LOL.
