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?

I didn't have the complications you mentioned, just your run of the mill c section, and hubby and I had sex on day 5. We took it verrrry slow. I was sore after from the orgasm because of it causes everything to contract, but for us it was worth it. Just be careful and know your limits. Also, essentially any time after you give birth there is a risk of getting pregnant again, so be careful with that if you continue sexual activity before talking to doc about birth control at 6 week check.

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
