sex before 6 weeks

[katietrapp1]

Just wondering if i had sex before my six weeks is up, and i am on birth control but have been on medicine for a couple of weeks, is there a high chance i could get pregnant again?? This soon??

[melrich]

You mean you have recently given birth? Are you breastfeeding?

[katietrapp1]

yea i gave birth aug 20th no not breastfeeding

[Seraphim]

Well if you are on bc I would say probably not possible. Women are really fertile the first cycle after birth or miscarriage. But if you are on bc it is probably not an issue.

i was on alot of anitibotics during my hosptial stay last week and before i had my surgery and also missed like a week of pills during my stay in the hosptial didnt think about all that before hand until after i was look at my pack

[Seraphim]

Hm then possible. For your sake I hope not cause you had a c section right?

[katietrapp1]

yea, i hope not either i dont want any more kids right now

[Seraphim]

That is not the only concern. Your uterus needs to heal. A pregnancy so soon after a c section could rupture your uterus and then you can die. That is part of the reason they tell women to wait the 6 weeks. The uterus NEEDS to rest.

I had sex the morning after my daughter was born and it didn't do me any harm {pain-wise

 

I am NOT saying that I recommend that for you AT ALL, everyone is different, and obviously what the doctors say is best.

My sister hasn't had sex yet and it's been over two months.

 

As long as you use protection, and you've been given the all-clear for sexual intercourse to resume...go for it.

i don't know if it's a high chance, but it's a chance. use condoms if you want to have sex.

Not to be gross, but if you had a vaginal delivery wouldn't it be a little stretched?

You would think it would hurt like a son of a biatch. I had like 25 stitches and I would have punched him in the head. Seriously, even waiting for 4 months and then we did it I was almost screaming in pain.

Ha, yeah, good question, but no, I wasn't stretched much at all.

It was a 3 hour birth start to finish, she was 10 pounds, but I went back to normal overnight.

I didn't tear either, and it didn't hurt to go to the toilet.

 

I have an unusual recovery rate for illnesses and injuries..my tattoos heal completely in three days and I never have a cold for more than a few hours.

I sure wish I was like you! OMG.....I had a hellish delivery, my OB said he had never seen one so bad, he even came to the hospital 2 days later with his kids to apologise to me.

[katietrapp1]

Well it will be 6 weeks on wensday, and it was last week that it happen and when they did my gallbladder surgery they said my uterus had went back down to normal size and everything, I dont plan on having sex for a while it was kinda in the moment.

[BeStrongBeHappy]

of course you can get pregnant anytime you have sex without contraception.

 

it's is hard to tell when you will ovulate after giving birth too, since your hormones are changing.

 

just be careful to use protection to avoid a surprise pregnancy. you could also take the Plan B pill from the drugstore if you are worried about it (assuming too much time hasn't passed).

The vagina is extremely elastic.

The six weeks is so that there will be no infection in the uterus.

[southerngirl]

Do not have sex until your doctor okays it. First of all, your cervix has not closed yet. It will not be closed fully for at least six weeks. Believe me, you do NOT want an infection in there!

 

If you had a Csection, Im thinking that you might have even longer to wait until your incision and the muscles underneath are healed for such a rigorous activity. As my doctor explained to me, he advised 8 weeks. I think that we didn't wait that long, more like six but were very very careful.

That is EXACTLY why. Sperm carries germs with it. When your cervix is open and your uterus is feeling you can get infections and not from STD kind of infection. Dr's do not tell you things just for something to say.

[thejigsup]
