Hi Hun. My OB insisted not to have sex for at least 6 weeks after the c-section. As another member mentioned it is major surgery. My advise is to wait it out to avoid infection to allow the bleeding to subside and just to avoid any discomfort that might occur from having sex. Def give your doctor a call. Each person is different and we all heal at different speeds. Good luck hunny. :)

I just had my second c section & with both surgeries I started doing too much too soon & pulled stitches - which just sets back the healing process. Also, I overdid it with my 2 yr old a week ago (nearly 6 wks post partum) & started bleeding again. I would wait the 6 weeks, then have at it! :)

Sorry, I just assumed! It's pretty standard for doctors to give the 6 week minimum pelvic rest after delivery, even c-section. I would ask your doctor just to be on the safe side though! I know it's rough...especially when you feel like things are mended down there (or your c-section incision). Don't risk it though, ask the doc first!

You just had major surgery...why not follow doctor's orders and play it safe? You'll have plenty of time for sex after your healed.

Keep in mind that the 6 week rule is also to give your cervix time to close. If you have sex before that, you do run the risk of introducing bacteria & getting a uterine infection.
