So kinda of a tmi question. I just started my first period after giving birth to my son 2 months ago, I started on the 11th, how long are periods after birth supposed to last? I googled it and it said like 6 weeks but idk if I meant like the after birth bleeding or a menstrual period

How long should I wait to have sex after after giving birth?
If you are wondering how long to wait before having sex for the first time after giving birth, here are some answers:
- Lochia is the blood loss that follows childbirth and lasts anywhere from 3 weeks to 1 or 2 months, depending on the woman. It is recommended that you wait until it stops.
- Your hormone levels drop after giving birth, this can cause a lack of desire for 2 or 3 weeks.
- There is no hurry, even if it is important not to neglect your couple and important to spark desire again.

How long did y’all stay at the hospital after giving birth? I’ve always stayed 2 days. On the phone with my friend and she said now it’s only about 24 hours now…

I stayed 3 days but I had preeclampsia with my last baby. I was told they keep you two days because they have to run test on the baby and make sure you use the bathroom ok.

I waited 4 weeks. It seemed like my sex drive was over the top so I couldn't wait any longer than that lol. But at 6 weeks appointment got checked and everything was good. I am healed nicely. I just say take it slow and use lube if needed.

I waited about 5.5 weeks. Figured I was close enough at that point. IT’s recommended to not have anything in the vagina for 6 weeks considering the huge wound inside yourself and it needs time to heal. The 6 week wait time also helps prevent infections that can be introduced while having sex and that’s going straight inside you instead of having a fighting chance once you’ve healed back up

Did any moms have sex before the 6 week wait after giving birth? What was the experience? Does sex change after having kids?
Trina
I didn’t do it before 6 weeks I did it at 11 weeks I can you tell one thing it does feel different. Might be a lil painful on the first attempt but once you get in the motion the pain should go away. It doesn’t feel the same to me but ofc in a good way
