I am no expert and I am having a section in two weeks but I would imagine it’s when you feel comfortable?? X

Wasn’t painful for me and we also waited about two months I think

I can’t remember exactly how long I waited, I think it was around 6 weeks, I did find it uncomfortable (but I did throughout pregnancy, only had sex handful of times during pregnancy, as hurt)

I did find that it hurt for quite a while after aswell, not hurting just very uncomfortable, like something was inside you. It took a good 6 months till it went away x
