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 lucky candy I didn't have bleeding I had spotting for the first day n that was it, apparently when I was under anastethic they cleared everything out n that's why I didn't bleed, I'm going to wait though just incase as I really don't want an infection down there, thanks ladies x

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.
