Please wait for your 6-week postpartum checkup. My body took a lot of time to heal, so don't rush into it.

We tried after 2 months but honestly, it felt different and a bit tight. Communication with your partner is key.

Resuming intimacy takes a lot of physical energy. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to focus a lot on eating nutritious low-glycemic foods postpartum to regain my strength before we even thought about it. Take your time.

Is it really as painful as people say? My doctor said wait at least 6 weeks but I'm still super nervous.

Even with a C-section, your pelvic area needs time. Wait till your doctor clears you, and be very gentle with your stitches.

Use a good lubricant because breastfeeding hormones make you very dry. Go slow and stop if it hurts.
