I`m not sure what will happen, but I`ve had two and I certainly did not want to for a while. You will bleed for several weeks, and if you tore or were cut, you will have stitches. After you feel better and the doc give you the ok, you are good to go- usually around 6 weeks.

you have to wait until your doc ok`s it..usually at your 6 week check up..your body needs time to heal...

Rest, rest, rest! Let your body heal. Take care of yourself right now.

Hurt for me too after the 6 wks.

You need to allow your body time to heal ~ 6 weeks is standard ~ Hunter is 3.5 months old and we`ve yet to have sex ~ still bleeding or spotting. After my 2nd via VBAC we had sex less than 5 times a year ~ it hurt terribly ~ you just need to heal ~ if you dont you chance infection and pain. Plus you are probably bleeding ~ so cant any how ~

I went against doctors orders and had sex exactly 4 weeks after having my baby. I tore so it hurt SO bad! I cried the whole time, and went to sleep with an icepack in my pjs! My daughter just turned 6 months and it still hurts to have sex. Just where the stitches were, so this may be tmi, but it only hurts going in because it presses on that area.

i think you have to wait 6 weeks due to your body healing! TMI after my 1st baby me and hubby only waited 2 weeks and it was very painful due to the stitches and swelling!

you are suposed to wait 6 weeks. it takes time for stitches to heal and you cervix to go back to normal PLUS you will have some brusing inside and out..it will hurt alot..it just makes more sence to wait! i know women who have don it to early and had no problems..and i know some who did it too early and months later still have pain during sex! so i guess it just depends.

you`ve gotta fit a grapefruit through a toilet paper roll. It`s suprizing to me that women ever have sex again.

a friend of my mine had sex 3 weeks after because her hubby came back from overseas and she said it hurt and she was scared her stitches were going to tear!

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
