How long did you wait to have sex after childbirth with an episotemy from a 2nd degree tear?

I had a baby 4 weeks ago and I feel great my stitches seem to be gone. I am horny and ready to have sex!How long did you wait to have sex after childbirth with an episotemy from a 2nd degree tear?If you feel ready I'd go for it but go gentle and easy so you can quickly stop if it starts to feel funny or bother you, in that case the tissues aren't ready.



And next time... get a care provider who doesn't do episiotomies. They're not necessary, and who wouldn't want to avoid unnecessary injury to their vagina?

Go for it. I had exactly what you had a 2nd degree tear and an episiotomy. I had sex the first time at 2 and a half weeks but I started bleeding again so I waited until I was 3 and a half weeks and did it again and used KY jelly and it was great. I just had my baby on Christmas and I stopped bleeding after 1 week, but then like I said it started again at 2 and half weeks, it lasted one day and quit again and then was gone for good. IF your ready go for it.How long did you wait to have sex after childbirth with an episotemy from a 2nd degree tear?I had second degree tearing and stitches as well - and waited until about 8 or 9 weeks before having sex again. The doctor cleared me at 6 weeks just fine.



If you're feeling up to it, you and your husband both agree to take it slow (and agree to stop if you need to), and you're using a reliable form of birth control (an absolute must!), then you may be ok.
I'd wait until you're cleared by your doctor, personally.



I had a 4th degree tear, 163 stitches, and waited until almost 5 months (then again, my husband was deployed), but I wasn't cleared to be intimate at my 6 week checkup, they wanted me to continue to wait due to my tear/healing process.How long did you wait to have sex after childbirth with an episotemy from a 2nd degree tear?well the day i got my stitches out we had sex just be carful or you might end up pregnant again your dr will say wait the 6 weeks but a 4 you are fineas long as the stitches are goneHow long did you wait to have sex after childbirth with an episotemy from a 2nd degree tear?
Whenever you feel comfortable. Just tell your partner to go easy!!!



I tried having sex after 4 weeks, didn't go so well, again at about 5 weeks, still hurt a ton, but by 6 weeks it was a bit better.
i waited 6 weeks because thats what the doctor said and i only did it because of my husband.if you do use lube so the chance of pain and tearing is less. and if your doc gave you the ok go for itHow long did you wait to have sex after childbirth with an episotemy from a 2nd degree tear?
