You just popped out a little one, dad is looking to have a little fun and you can’t even stomach the thought of having that go in there (just yet!). We’ve got the inside scoop from our Bumpies on the Babies: 0 – 3 Months board on how long they waited to have sex after baby.

“We tried at 4.5 weeks — it didn’t work so, we stopped. Tried again at 5.5 weeks…was a tad bit better than the week before but nowhere near prebaby sex. As far as I can tell it will take quite some time to feel right… it’s uncomfortable but not horribly painful.” — LeeB*

“Yesterday was my 6-week appointment so, 6 weeks. Ha! My husband even went out and bought condoms yesterday since I’m not on birth control yet. I think he was a little eager! It was definitely nowhere near prebaby sex but better than late-pregnancy sex.” — InkedMeg

“I waited until I was cleared by my OB at 6 weeks. I had a c-section and the first time still sucked. Lots and lots of lube.” — mabener1

“We waited 7 weeks…  it doesn’t feel like it used to… its not bad, just not the same… I’m sure there’s still some healing to be done!” — Shaungel

“I will wait until the doctor clears me.  I had a c-sectoin and am hoping it isn’t horrible when we resume that particular activity. My sex drive went into the toilet when I got pregnant and is just now returning so waiting is really hard!” — tig59

“Basically, you just need to give it a go. If it hurts, you stop. Start out really slow and use lots of lube!” — Megss1

Pregnant Sex

Don’t pressure your guy too much if you’re trying to get pregnant. According to the Daily Mail, if you put a lot of pressure on your partner during ovulation time, it can drive him away. Researchers found that because of babymaking pressure, one in 10 men who’d been trying to conceive with their partners for about a year had an affair and four out of 10 men claimed the pressure to make a baby made them impotent.

When the guys were forced to have sex because it was ovulation time, their stress levels increased — which could have affected their testosterone levels. Experts wrote in the study, “It is clear that the greater instances of timed intercourse trials, the more incidences of erectile dysfunction and extramarital sex and the greater the desire to avoid sex with the intended partner.” Timing sex with ovulation made sex a burden for some guys. Researchers suggest that couples try timing sex and ovulation for no more than three months in a row and take a break for a few months in between to de-stress.

Do you think timing sex causes stress? Are you or your guy stressed about babymaking?

Timing is Everything: Get Pregnant Faster

If you’re trying to conceive, you might be doing a number of things to track your fertility, like counting the days of your menstrual cycle and taking your basal body temperature. And now there’s one more detail that might help you know when you’re most fertile: The number of sex fantasies you’re having. According to LiveScience, a new study from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada women may have more sex fantasies when they’re ovulating.

Researchers got 27 heterosexual women (most of them were college-aged) to keep track of their daily sexual fantasies in an online diary for a month. The women weren’t on birth control and took drugstore ovulation tests during each of the 10 days they would most likely ovulate. The average number of sexual fantasies for each woman was 0.77 a day, but around the time the women ovulated, those fantasies increased an average of 1.3 a day.

Very convenient, since if it’s the right time of the month for babymaking, you’re going to want to have an increased sex drive.

Do your sexual fantasies increase when you’re ovulating? What do you think of this study?
