Dirty postpartum question

[Willis Jackson]

I think it would probably be okay. You just don't want anything near your cervix.

Keep in mind that you're kind of an open wound for awhile.

In the handbook my hospital gave me, it said that sexual pleasuring is fine as long as nothing enters the vagina. So you should be good to go!

[DarcyLongfellow]

I don't know -- mouths are pretty dirty. And your clitoris isn't that far from your vagina. I honestly don't know if I'd want that by an open wound. I'd think a (washed) vibrator (or just a hand) would be cleaner and less likely to cause problems.

The very idea of this makes my girl parts hurt.

Yeah me too! I had a c-section, so less tearing than a vaginal delivery, and I still had quite a lot of bleeding until about 6 weeks postpartum. NO WAY was I letting DH down there for ANYTHING +o(

[whitterbugk]

Yeah, I'm 7 weeks PP and still bleeding a little. Oral is the last thing that's happening around here.

I cant imagine wanting to do that prior to 6 weeks. I was still bleeding then with my first and bled until 4-5 weeks with my second. Plus I was too tired to even relax if that was an option. I would have picked a nap. Lol.

haha yes, this for me too!

[thedash]

Yeah I think that would be a little nasty. I bled for about that long.

[slug*bug]

Medically, it's probably fine. Between bleeding and everything else going on, though, I wouldn't have seriously considered it until several weeks PP.

[nonsenseabound]

Agreed that there was still a lot of drainage below following birth. Plus when it is vaginal you pretty much only want a cool ice pack down there

[oukapu]

You have time for that?

[Saudade]

Well putting aside not even wanting DH to come close to me...I was still bleeding at 6 weeks PP and I had a c-section. Up until around 5 months sex was sparse because anything would make my milk let-down. That is not hot.

[whitemerlot]

TMI but my vag was in no way ready for that, even at 6 weeks,

[vanillacourage]

Honestly I did not want much fussing around near my business but I will admit that I don't have the highest drive in the world. If you have a vibrator then that (w/o insertion) plus high school style messing around would be doing just great.

[grk2012]

Ditto several others... at 6wks pp, I was still bleeding.

Yeah, this is gross.

A post partum vagina is not something I would subject another person's mouth to.

Jenny said it best.

Yuck.
