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.

You may want to call your doc and ask too. I told mine before I left the hospital that 6 weeks wasn't going to happen, so I was on the mini pill asap. He told me the six week is just generally when women feel up to it, and they say that to give them a break, but it was my body and I would know what I can handle. See what yours says?

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'm pretty sure it's no sex for atleast 6 weeks post csection.. Any rough activity could cause rupture of the suture line and infection

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!

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! :)
