5 days this time round (was 6 days after our first birth). I didn't tear this time around and literally had started doing my pelvic floors within the first half hour after my waterbirth. I think that contributed to the success of DTD so early? Plus I was super keen as DTD hadn't been successful (so to speak) in the weeks leading up to the birth. Was straight after a shower so lochia wasn't a problem. Was a bit scared and it felt different to usual but still 'worked'.
Ha, now I have little energy or desire.....being a mum of two has kicked in!

We tried the first time after at about 3 weeks but didn't last long it hurt too much then a week later we tried again and i was more relaxed still a bit sore and gets better everytime. But i was very scared and my husband was hassling me a bit to try but they never really understand it takes a while to heal properly

We dtd after 21/2 weeks. After a vag birth with ventouse being cut and tearing internally it was a little uncomfortable. DH was really good, quite happy to wait it was me that tore his clothes off. I wanted it badly after having near no libido for half the pregnancy.

oh dear,
with my 1st i can not remeber, with second i think it was around 6 weeks, but with Lachlan we havent as yet and i must say im not even in the mood. All have been vaginal births with no stitches, quick labours etc.
I think at the moment we are both to exhausted to even think about it, may change on our holidays next week though.
PS i think he is to scared i will fall pregnant again.
