Hey ladies. Well its been a month since I had landon ( on the 4th) and I had 2 stiches and a vaginal birth. I will ask my doc. On friday obviously if I can start having sex again, but was just wondering when u all started to again? I feel totally fine even after my daily walk etc. But sometimes after I pee when my muscles contract back its just a tad sore but yah. Look forward to hearing from u all!

Aww hun, I wish I could help you, but I had a c-section and havn't had sex since 2 months before my baby's birth, (since my husband's passing.)

anyway, hopefully everything will work out for you. They do say that you need to wait the full 6 weeks for complete healing. But everyone is different.

Well I had my little girl *katie* on august 22 and I had sex before I went to see my doctor again. My appointment is on the 16 of october and im a little worried. She was a vaginal birth with no tearing nor stretching. I had sex about a month after and everything was fine but now im bleeding. Im a little worried...What do you think?

Once you are given the go ahead from the dr just take it slow and easy as it takes your body time to get back in shape after having a baby, even though your mind is ready your body is not always but I do realize that we are human. You can always call and talk to the nurse or the dr's assistant or wait for an appointment, whatever you feel is right. Glad to hear you are doing better. If I remember, I waited two months the 1st time but I was ripped pretty bad, the second was about 6 weeks an still a little painful but I had a few stitces with her too. We are all different.
How is landon doing? I bet he is growing like a weed, haven't seen any pictures of him lately.
The best to you all!

I had a c section and I waited until the doctor gave the ok. It was a full six weeks.

Though, we have waited the last two weeks because the pill won't come into play until I have been on it a month and I am not ready for another baby and can't stand condoms.

i'm probably just a sex crazy maniac cause I had sex 3 days after layla was born and 4 days after logan was born. Lol. That said I haven't had sex yet since angel was born and its been a month.

yah I think I should wait atleast 6 weeks. But man iv never wanted it so bad b4 Shocked lol. Landon's doing awesome, hes sleeping threw the nite now for 5-6 hrs in a row :p its awesome. He wakes up every 3 hrs. If hes not just awake and content. Hes actually a really good baby, but cries from like 9pm-1130 almost every nite so I think thats his crabby time. Butanyways, I put some more recent ones on " my space" heres the url.
