Can I have sex 3 weeks after childbirth?

[LoveLili]

I had my baby Jan. 30th, it was a normal vaginal delivery, and I had one minor stitch. I stopped bleeding on my 2nd week, and I don't feel any more soreness. I just wanted to know if it's safe to have sex again or if I should wait until my 6th week checkup with my ob. I'm a little scared that it might hurt? Thank yoou.

my suggestion if you don't want to wait another 3 weeks is to call your OB/Gyn's office and ask them. It isn't a good idea to do this without your doctor's ok.

Don't you have a 4 week post partum appointment??

Only if you want a big nasty infection.....


Please wait.... even if people come in here and tell you they did it.... that's just gross, and your body isn't ready.
