Jessica Simpson inspired poll

[brit1017]

I was reading this week's People, and there is an article about Jessica Simpson and her new baby. There is one line that says "Following doctor's orders, she has put off exercising until she fully recovers from her C-section, although, she admits with a laugh, 'I've kind of broken one rule. I think I have the sexiest man in the world. So that is the rule I break.'" Her DD is 3 weeks old.

So when did you first have sex pp?

[my4girls]

well long after being cleared by the doctor, it was several months with dd2, no plans at this point after dd3. I don't remember after dd1 but I know it was after being cleared

Is it bad that DS is almost 7 months & we just got back to business this past weekend?

[vanillacourage]

With DS1 we were cleared at 4w and went for it that weekend (planned c/s and I never dilated).

I've been cleared for a couple weeks since DS2, but spotting from Mirena + working around BFing has oddly enough not inspired sexy time. :/

We did it 3 weeks pp but it was only cause it was our anniversary and we were away for the night, had a c-section and never dialted. We didnt' do it again until I was cleared

So does having a csection and not dilating make you less at risk for infection?

This was true for us after my first. Uh, lets just say we had a rough transition....

Did she not dilate?

Anyway, I always heard no, the risk is still the same.

I guess so. Must also contribute to how I was told that Mirena insertion would go much easier since I was immediately PP and had recently dilated. Once the shop is open it takes a while to close back up!

I think 7 or 8 wks pp.

[badtzmaru22]

I was cleared at 5 weeks and a couple days (my 6wk pp appointment), but we didn't try for another two weeks. We painfully did it a couple more times, and it turns out ----TMI---- I have a polyp from healing that was causing the pain, and so it needs to be removed. AND I can't get an appointment to do that until the END OF JUNE, and according to the NP who saw me, it might need a stitch, so freaking a, it's going to be August before we can have sex again. I don't know if the polyp was there at the 6wk appt or appeared after the first time we had sex, but ugghhhh is how I feel about all this now!!

We tried as soon as I got cleared at 6wks pp. It took two weeks of attempts before we actually did it and another few weeks before I could stop using gallons of lube. lol.

We first tried around 5 weeks, but I had some granulation tissue that made it painful and caused bleeding. I was "cleared" at my 6 week appt and we tried two more times after that and I still had pain and bleeding. We were finally able to have sex to completion at around 8 weeks.

[froggy76]

We were finally successful last week at 6.5 months

[GailGoldie]

where is the 4 month choice??? It was 4 months after having DS1 b/c i tore like a bitch and was scared to death to have sex....

and it was 4 months after the twins - b/c we were both freakin' exhausted

[cjeanette]

Reading this makes my lady parts hurt. It was months after DS, but I was single. With DD it was 8 weeks and it was painful.

[fortmyersbride]

5 wks after DS. It was painful the first few times. OB had said we could start back up whenever I felt ready.

6 wks after DD. after my first pp appt. Did hurt as bad as after DS.

[mie]

It was way after the doctor cleared me. I had no interest.

[mrshandy]

I was cleared at 6 weeks. We tried maybe at 8 weeks, but it hurt too much. It was just not comfortable at all.

I think it started getting better around 4-5 months.

[anna7602]

I still had part of my placenta in my womb until about 9 weeks pp and was bleeding like nobody's business. After being induced to deliver the rest of it and having the heck scraped out of me, to boot, sex was the last thing on my mind.

I think it was 13 weeks pp when we finally had sex again.
