Sex is the last thing on a mom's mind after giving birth, but the subject is sure to come up. Most doctors suggest waiting until after the six-week postpartum appointment to ensure that the cervix is completely closed and the uterus has returned to its pre-baby size. Did you follow the doctor's orders, or did you get busy sooner?

Once I went to my post-natal appointment and my dr. told me I was good to go I immediately came home and made my husband drop his pants
I had no problems "getting back on the horse".
1I couldn't wait. All those baby hormones really did me in...
I waited 4 weeks.
2Around two months after having baby.
3lol i didnt have much wish to jump into the sack. it took me well over a month just to "recover" and walk around without feeling woozy or like my innards were shredded and falling out around my ankles.
4i meant to add that it was around 3 months for us.
5after the 1st child-8wks
62nd child-4wks
3rd child-3wks
Both kids about 4 weeks. Resumed some sort of non penetration activity sooner on the second
7Our Dr. gave us the OK on our 4 week mark, and since my MIL was here, we took advantage of not having to care for the wee one for an hour or so. I had told my hubby that morning that he "shouldn't get any ideas" but he wooed me in the end! LOL
8around 6 weeks...and it hurt!!!!
i thought i was broken forever..thanks to my hundreds of stiches...but alas we are all good and working on two
9I don't know why these things always say that a woman has no interest in sex immediately after giving birth... I was ready to go before we even left the hospital but that obviously didn't work due to my stitches
After that we waited like 2 wks then started trying again but like
others have said IT HURTS! I think it finally successfully happened around 4-5 wks but FYI it KILLLLS unless the guy's on top.
10I remember my sisters saying to me "Take your time. The sooner you go at it, the more it is going to hurt." I waited until the 3 month mark and it was great! I had a c-section so I was worried about pain but it was totally fine. The trick was what to do with my awake baby...
11It was at about 4 weeks. We couldn't wait!
12Honestly? I haven't had sex since my 5 month old was conceived. So it's been 14 months and counting. I'm waiting to see if the desire comes back.
