we tried at four weeks, only lasted about 5 mins because I ended up in pain, we then waited till 6 weeks and it was fine. I also had a c section

I waited maybe 3 weeks after the first two, the last one was around 8 weeks...maybe longer. :)

With my oldest I was a single mother so I waited until he was about 11 months old before I even started dating again, and it was another few months after that when I finally had sex again it was TORTURE!!! With my second we waited 6 weeks, with the third I think that was also about 6 weeks, 4th it was around 3 1/2 weeks, and with the fifth it was almost 5 weeks. Never really had any problems with it being uncomfortable. I LOVE sex with my husband, it`s the greatest!!! Also, I have a high sex drive.... Would have been sooner, if I could've had my way, but Jack wont do anything if I'm bleeding. :(

4 days with the 1st, 2.5 weeks with the 2nd, and 2 weeks to the day with the 3rd. I have no patience for not getting any and if I DID wait that long, Id get cranky and start twitching =S

Maybe 3 weeks after c sec i could not wait any longer. Do you notice that the c sec really did not lose there sex drive or is it just me thinking that way. BUT WITH A CONDOM SO TO AVOID INFECTION!

michaela (908.4 days ago)
yes, i waited, had sooooo many stitches was scared i`d do damage.

i waited longer. i was not in the mood. =p i was too tired i didnt get back into the swing of things until i returned to work and even then i was just too tired between taking care of home and baby and working 2 jobs. maybe it will be different this time around since im a SAHM now =)

We waited about 4 weeks, I was done bleeding and I didn`t tear so no stiches, but it didn`t feel so great the first few times. LOL

alijo (908.5 days ago)
My doc told me the wait is because of the chance of uterine infection after birth - no matter whether you had a vaginal or csection birth. Frankly I had no interest in sex at that time anyway, so it really wasn`t a big deal.

monkeymamma (908.5 days ago)
kylaleigh....because I was just too sore and not in the mood. Other things I was told to wait 8 weeks so I told hubby we`re waiting that long for sex too!

pregolicious (908.5 days ago)
I was bad but wanted to do it! Had a c-section and only waited 10 days! Ops!

chevychic96 (908.5 days ago)
No, about 3-4 weeks with my 1st c-section....I am 31 weeks now with #2, and I might wait a little longer with this one!

armymom (908.5 days ago)
try 6 months! lol - hubby was deployed but I think even if he had been home the thought of sex made me want to throw up until about 4-5 months PP.

Str8 As (908.5 days ago)
I waited more than 6wks with all of them even though I had the desire. I had a c-section and waited for the all clear.

adriana03 (908.5 days ago)
more like 5. or 4 dont remember exactly.

robing (908.5 days ago)
I waited longer with all three, I had no desire (still dont,) to have sex, lol.

pc (908.5 days ago)
6 weeks for me. (I had a c-section and was told the standard 6 weeks.) BTW you might get more of a response if you put a yes/no option for your poll...just a friendly thought.

kylaleigh (908.5 days ago)
monkeymamma.. why the 8 weeks? I had my 3rd c-section and a tubal.. am I supposed to wait the 8 weeks too?? lol I`ll die!

mikey and cjs mommy (908.5 days ago)
i waited about 7 weeks. i had a vaginal delivery but i had to get cut all the way down and stitched back up so i was worried about tearing my stitches. even after 7 weeks it hurt and was so uncomfortable to have sex. it took probably 2 months before it started to feel remotely good again.

monkeymamma (908.6 days ago)
Actually waited 8 weeks...had a c-section

  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,.....
