2 kids & you want to have sex?!?!?! I would wait. I also had an easy birth, but my midwife didn't even wany me sitting up straight from laying down (I was supposed to roll to my side & slowly get up) b/c she went on & on about how much my body has just been through & that my muscles need a chance to heal, even though I felt great.
You need to take care of yourself & heal!

completely obliterated my sex drive but dh and i had sex after about 4 weeks. I had no tears or anything and it didn't hurt. I think you should wait until you are ready but I've also heard the advice to try before your check up so that you have the chance to discuss any problems with your doc.

if you're feeling it and want to, so the dr. is readily available to help address issues. Grain of salt, though.

you will kno when you are ready.

Do what you feel is right for you. I took me four months to even get in the mood.

Student midwife here... 4 weeks is the best to allow for, healing, shrinkage, and for your cervix to firm up and close good and tight. I too wanted to get it on early.. In fact even with 2 stitches from a small tear DH had to fight me off with a stick at around 5 days PP... lol

When I had my episiotomy with my first, I still didn't want to be touched at six weeks (dh was not appreciative of this.)

With my second and third, I had no episiotomy but some tearing, but it healed so quickly that I was back on board pretty quickly. Can't remember how long.

With two and three, my midwives told me, "Whenever you're comfortable with it," which was nice, because dh heard it, and didn't do the, "But you've had six weeks! You have to be ready!" thing. (He's much better these days, but back then he was young and constantly horny, and it showed.)

FAX is grossed out by vaginas(yes, he's in the closet), so i had to get him drunk to do it with me. but i was ready to go at about 3 weeks.

I can't answer. I had an episiotomy and was still in a lot of pain at 7-8 weeks postpartum. I'll do whatever I can to avoid one next time.

2 weeks. sad but true, same for me, vaginal delivery just a small tear, but it is very very easy to get pregnant so if you don't wish to be, be CAREFUL!!!

i also delivered vaginally and had no tears or episiotomy, and my midwife told me to wait 4 weeks. but still, we cheated and did it after about 3 weeks. it didn't feel very good though. i think i could count on my fingers the # of times we've had sex in the last 2 years. haha.

I waited with my first. For like 4 years.

I think we waited all of 3 weeks....baaad mommy. But I did end up having some problems after about 4 weeks and we stopped again for about month. Not sure if it was related to having sex that early or not.
