The amount of women who try to have sex before the 6 weeks is up… Then come on here and ask silly questions… Not judging, just laughing because the common sense is lacking. To each their own.
Because you’re supposed to wait 6-8 weeks if not longer before fucking
Because you had a c-section less than 5 weeks ago and you’re not supposed to have sex until your doctor clears you around 6 weeks. I’ve had two c-sections and I can tell you that it’s painful even after waiting the 6 weeks. You could get an infection or end up pregnant again.
Likely because you’re 4 weeks postpartum . Oof

Because you’re going against common medical advice by having sex less then 6 weeks pp. Csection or vaginal delivery are both traumatic to the body. Your cervix may still need to close, you have a wound from where the placenta detached, surgical wound and swelling, hormones out of whack
Following childbirth, a woman’s body enters a healing phase when bleeding stops, tears heal, and the cervix closes. Having intercourse too early, especially within the first 2 weeks, increases the risk of postpartum hemorrhage or uterine infection. Rushing into things too quickly and even sex four weeks after a C-section can lead to complications such as infection. Six weeks is the average amount of time it takes the uterus to return to its normal size, cervix to close, and C-section incision to heal. Idky you didnt, but you really need to listen to your doctor. After childbirth, they pretty much drill it into your brain that you need to wait at least 6 weeks to put ANYTHING in your vagina. This question is ridiculous and as a mother, you shouldve already known.

Is this a serious question???
6 weeks PP is the minimum for sex. Or anything in your vagina. The risk of infection is high I would be waiting at least another two weeks.
I think a call to your doctor would be better than asking advice on here.

Not sure why? Because you had intercourse. Before 6 weeks.

Your body has no yet fully recovered nor gone back to normal. That is why doctors say to wait 6 weeks. They dont just say it to hear their own voice.

For god sake you shouldn’t be having sex yet especially as you had a c section. The outside might be healed but the inside might not be.
They tell you to wait 6 weeks for a reason, ya numb nuts.

I suggest talking to your OB or google Facebook is a very judgmental place.
Sex after C-section recovery can be painful. Low estrogen levels result in less blood flow throughout your body, making vaginal tissues thinner and more delicate. Hormonal changes also suppress natural lubricants, so your vagina may feel uncomfortably dry. If you stopped having sex at any point during pregnancy, your vagina might be sensitive until you get back into the swing of things. If you’re nursing, your vagina may remain dry and sensitive for months longer. Breastfeeding (especially exclusively) can put ovulation on pause. Your natural lubricants will ramp up around the time of your first postpartum period.

Just because you didn’t birth vaginally doesn’t mean your body didn’t still go through serious trauma. The placenta and everything was ripped out your body. This is why the drs tell you not to have sex until atleast 6w postpartum as you’re also risking infection due to the wounds in your body. Regardless of vaginal birth or c section
With some kids I only waited days🤷🏻♀️ everyone has a right to do what they want with their own… their OWN body. If it hurts stop. I would say it’s probably because you had major abdominal surgery and things are still swollen, sore and moving back into place. Even though you didn’t deliver that way it’s still going to be sore and uncomfortable sometimes, and that’s ok. Do what feels best to you.

Yeah I would definitely recommend waiting at least 6 weeks like most OBs do. Having any trauma down there while it’s healing CAN cause cervical/uterine prolapse.

You had major surgery.
Your Dr said wait until you’ve been seen at 6 weeks.
Just bc you didn’t deliver vaginally doesn’t mean your cervix is back to normal.

You are suppose to wait a minimum of 6 weeks. With that being said even tho you did not have vaginally, you still went thru all that and you are not healed

Everyone commenting on this with rude comments should be ashamed of yourselves. All of our bodies are different. I had sex 3 weeks postpartum with both of my kids. No pain and I didn’t get pregnant. Some women it hurts, some it doesn’t. Y’all do know she’s reading these comments right? I thought we were supposed to build each other up. Sad.
Well 6 weeks after is recommended and 8 weeks is even better and gentle action is a must one has to think about all that changes during pregnancy birth and regular birth practices. Good slow and easy the first 6 months.

Because your insides aren’t healed yet. You’re not supposed to try after a c-section until your doctor gives you the all clear.

Last time I had sex 4 weeks postpartum after a c-section I ended up with Irish twins lol
I was told to wait until my 8 week postpartum visit. And then they decide if you’re physically ready.
If you don’t wait before you’re cleared you could get an infection

Your cervix still opened up you just weren’t able to have a vaginal birth. You’re still suppose to wait up to 6 weeks. If he’s hitting your cervix at all he could cause you to have internal bleeding. I’d call your doc if you’re still in any pain down there. Better to be safe than sorry.

Your cervix still dialates when you go into labor. Your body prepapes for the birth. You had a major surgery. They cut through all your skin and muscles through your lower abdomen. Your body isn’t healed after 4 weeks.

Your uterus is healing from the placenta detaching, which is why they say to wait the full 6 weeks at least. Also you just had major surgery. You should definitely see your doctor

Doctors give you advise for a reason especially with something like child birth. Your body needs time to heal and while some people do have sex at 4 weeks and have no issue, it’s still a risk. You just had a baby so take that time to heal. your body deserves to rest.
They usually say to wait 6 weeks. At your 6 week check up you’ll be cleared or not

I would not have sex until you get the okay from your doctor. Sometimes it can be painful to have sex weeks to months after delivery because of hormone changes, especially if you are breast feeding.
Depending on the circumstances, you essentially had the near equivalent of being temporarily disemboweled, or at Very least, had a few important things shoved out of the way, through a hole about maybe 10 mm in length. six separate layers of your abdominal wall and uterus opened individually. And a little human being taken out of your body. Four weeks is probably a little bit too early because of the stitches in each of those layers on the inside of you. Chances are, that is likely to be a little uncomfortable.
I’ve had two and although I felt I healed up super fast, I can remember having a lot of pinching when I even tried to pee. Nothing much wrong with doing it this soon after but they do warn about the ease of getting infections, and re-impregnated again especially prior to that 6 week mark. you should most definitely do it as gently as you can and make sure you both have a shower before … and in my opinion , probably after too just to be on the safe side.
It hurts cause your supposed to wait 6 weeks. Were you paying attention to the doctor

You have a wound in your uterus the size of a dinner plate from where your placenta detached! Thats most likely not causing the pain, but be careful, sex before 6 weeks (and being cleared by your OB) can cause an infection!
3 c sections later and I can’t even respond to this person without being rude so ima say stop posting it on social medium and listen to your doctors instructions no sex 6-8 weeks with a c sections
Because you had a baby. Go talk to your doctor

I couldn’t have sex comfortably after my C-section for a good 6 months or more! It was so tight and painful! My doctor said it was normal but it sucked!
Damn. You’re a warrior. Lol. 8 weeks after my c-section I still didn’t even want to be looked at.
It was too soon I suppose, from the pain. I had a c section and waited 6-7 weeks

Way too soon. You just had a baby and need to give your body time to try and heal from the major surgery you just had. The OBGYN where I live tell you nothing for 8 weeks for this exact reason. 4 is way too soon.

You need to wait at least 6-8 weeks to prevent infection! Your body is healing.
I could be wrong here, but probably the small human sized hole still healing inside your stomach along with all your organs still adjusting to pulling out of said small human from your gut only 28 days go. 
I’m no Ph.D. though so probably run it by your Obgyn.
