We're at five weeks exactly tomorrow, and we've done it twice over the last three days or so.  I had my PP appt today and was told that it really was too soon since I only stopped bleeding a week or so ago.  She said I should have waited until I hadn't bled for two weeks.  But, no one told me that - all I was told was 4-6 weeks.  Oh, I also had a c/s.

I don't think many people wait the fully advised time.  If you feel good and up to it, I don't see why not.  I know a few other c/s moms on here did it much earlier than 4-6 weeks as well!

They tell you not to because of the risk for infection.  I had my c-section the same day as you, lol there is no way in hell my husband is getting ANY from me tomorrow.  Valentines day or not.  It's your call but I would rather play it safe instead of sorry.  To each their own though.  Good luck and be careful!!

i had Aurora almost 4 weeks ago, and there is just no way physically my body is ready to dtd. i can feel that my stitches are just now breaking up, but still sensitive there, and my incision from the surgery is still battling infection and even if it wasn't i would want it more healed then the non-infected areas are. v-day or not, i'm waiting until 6 weeks for sure.
