Some might be so glad they finally got to have sex again (because 6+ weeks can be quite a long time to wait for many couples). But if you’re still sore down there, or if your c-section scar is still tender, it can be painful if not a bit scary. Just remember, don’t do it until you’re sure you’re ready, and go really slow. There’s no rush. Oh, and make sure to time it so your kiddo has just fallen asleep so you’ve got at least a few uninterrupted minutes””wink, wink.
