Having Sex in the Delivery Room?

[spk926]

No! It hurts me even thinking about it. I had an episiotomy and a 4th degree tear. I could barely pee (once the catheter was out) without crying! Plus I was so swollen ALL OVER I don't know if it would've even been possible. Just no, no, no and OMG NO!!

Mad TV had a skit about the husband wanting sex after delivery and the wife was was all 'it would be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway'. Haha

[Sloane]

No. NO. Six weeks went by way too fast. DH was all "wo-hoo" and I was all "damn".

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I am not reading that.

All I want to know is:
Do they mean to get labor going?
Do they mean "I had a home birth in my bedroom, so I have HAD sex in the delivery room before"?

Because those are the ONLY options.

Back on the Bump, reading someone moaning about how hard it was waiting to get the 6 week PP 'all clear' from their ob/gyn would make me nauseous. I had no desire to think about sex even at that point. I can't imagine a non-abusive situation where a woman would want to knock boots that close to delivery.

Well, to be fair after a week or so all I wanted to do was jump H's bones.  My PP hormones made me crazy for sex.  The ladies here talked me out of it until about 5 weeks.  Let's just say it was a few more weeks after that before I could even think about sex. Ouch.

Barf! People are crazy. Ugh!

How could that be satisfying to the man or woman? I mean you're freaking bleeding and passing clots and such.

[iamgrace]

No.

Welp. Now I know you're lurking. You can't quit us!!!

We had one couple that I remember being particularly handsy during and after labor. We had to keep kicking him out of the bed. We had bets that they would be back in less than a year. Other than that, I have never seen anything like what this woman describes and I would seriously kick a husbands ass if he pulled some shit like that with reopening stitches. You know that was not her idea . And I am one of the young nice nurses, if some of the old school ones got ahold of him it would be bad.... LOL

Would you drive a car after being totaled in a car accident?

IDK. I've never delivered anything more than a newspaper.

I was horny as shit for a few weeks after i delivered too, but good sense and vaginal kindness prevailed and we waited until six weeks.

It's STILL not comfortable. The midwife who stitched me up was a tad over zealous.

No no no no. After my section there was no way that was happening. Ouch ouch!! I think I would have beat H with my iv pole even at the suggestion.

I'm not sure what is upsetting me more: the thought of sex during/after labour or this gif...

[smiley]

I haven't had a kid yet but I am pretty sure sex would be the last thing on my mind.

this analogy needs more fleshing out to really make sense.  we've all had SEX after delivery.  it's more "would you drive a car while still in traction after having been totaled in a car accident?"  to which i would say, no.  i mean, having sex before the 6 week mark doesn't necessarily horrify me, but while still in the hospital (i.e., < 48 hours after delivery)?  RIPPING OUT STITCHES?

I would totally do it but only if it were not me giving birth.

The comments in that article are horrifying. The number of women there who willingly had sex so soon after giving birth baffles me. They say 6 weeks for a reason.

Your kids are adorable!

NO. NO. NO. NO.

Just, no.

Okay, maybe the car has major transmission issues AFTER the accident. So the transmission needs to be repaired, but not replaced. And that will take at least 6 weeks.
