Special cuddles after C/S

I have a question for all you girls, how long did you wait for special cuddles, and did it hurt.

Dh and I tried last week (5 weeks after Jacks birth) and it hurt, a lot, I really didn't think it would given I didn't deliver naturally and though I expected some uncomfortableness, I didn't expect incredible pain. What were other girls experiences? (if you don't mind sharing)

about 7 but i found it uncomfortable and painful .. i was nervous too which didnt help... came right probably around week 12 - 14ish ..

I still have the libido of a gnat though ..... just cant seem to get that spark happening

We were told to wait till 8 weeks, but by week 4 we gave it a go.
I did not suffer any pain, but was also a bit tight.

yip you are right Shirena, but we aren't trying to make a baby.

Well we might give it another go, it was tight, even with lubrication, and initially I would have lept off the bed had it not been for dh being on top (oh my way TMI here). If things persist might head to the doctor to just check things out. Can't help wondering if it has something to do with Jack getting stuck

we are still waiting....heck im still bleeding, DH is sick, and his PA tells story of jumping her hubbys bones 6 weeks after birth of number 2 and thats how number three was made....so am in nooooooo hurry!!!

and not sure mini pill will work.....i love ella but soooo dont need another one yet...hence my total lack right now of being inspired to even try and get him going much....yeah TMI but he is moaning at me that he doesnt think he will ever get it again....LMAO!!! he may be right!!!

After my first I waited 2 weeks & after #2 I waied just on 10 days
1st time after son #1 I think we used ALOT of lube LOL!
I think it IS very different for everyone too.
If you don't mind me asking, but where did it hurt?? Inside or scar?

it was about 12wks after my cs that it stopped hurting even with lube...but it was 9mths before it was completely comfortable aagain....it was like being a born again virgin...hubby loves it...lol

although i was told off as i should have seen the doctor as it was still hurting...so dont leave it too long

I think for me it was around the 7 week mark. If it wasn't for the fact that special cuddles and blood make me feel it would have been sooner.
The first time it does hurt. I don't know if anyone else had/remembers this but I had contractions the day after my c/s and it can reduce the size of your birth canal. Not to worry though as it usually stretches out again. I must say though that I in generally feel a lot smaller downstairs now. I can feel when my cervix has dropped (as it does naturally but I can see people scratching their heads thinking - mine doesn't! does it? LOL) when we got at it.
Although in saying I feel smaller than before, I don't mean that before I was like hiffing a hotdog down K Rd!
My friend was actually really surprised when I told her, she just assumed that it was a vaginal birth thing to be tight afterwards.

OMG.. I thought it was only me who felt like a virgin again..

I think *I* waited about 3 months, much to hubbys discust..

I think it was about 3 or 4 weeks and oh boy, yeah, it hurt A LOT! We tried again about 2-3 weeks later and it still hurt a lot even with lube.
Can't remember how long it actually took to feel ok, but glad things are getting better for you.
