We were advised to wait 3 weeks after my c-section, I think we waited 2. Though it was a while before I felt healed enough to be back to how it was before baby.

Wow you were lucky. I looked like a patchwork quilt down below for ages. I was sewn up really well though, but with an epesiotomy and a 3rd degree tear I thought I did well at 6 weeks.
Ended up with tears second time too.... due to her lightning speed arrival!

Kath - no stitches, just a tear which I was lucky, stopped hurting within 3 days of giving birth!

I thought about the injection but I would end up trolling the kids with me every time, and that would be a pain. As for the spotting, I know my friend has depo (didn't know til last month) and she still has a normal period and has done for 13 months.

Got my af just now so hoping after this it will stop prob wishfull thinking tho, as for my sex drive i can only hope it returns soon or im coming off depo n dunno wot method of contraception ill use!

Oh dear Clare..... this birth control stuff is crap!
I had the Mirena Coil fitted about 4 months ago, the spotting is a pain as I never know when it will start, and goes on for a week, sometimes more, but it is literally a few drops so a panty liner is all it takes.
It does affect our sex life as I am not really in the mood when I am spotting as I get awful cramps and it makes me feel a bit poo. I manage the pain ok, just on some days it makes me feel sick too, so if I have not eaten much I end up feeking a bit crap.

I was on the depo injection back when i was 16-17 years old, im now 24 and had the same as you and depresion, i went the doctors and they got me straight off it and on to these estrogen patches to get my hormones back and i was put on microgynon pill and i was fine......I would advise you to get to the doctors to check it out asap b4 you get depresion! hope that helps!

You go clairlancaster!!!! I had an epesiotomy, and I waited 6 weeks 1st time because it took that long to stop bleeding and I didn't fancy doing the deed with that still happeneing.
I waited 5 weeks 2nd time around as I healed much better and I had an app with doc the week after so I wanted to make sure all was 'working' and felt fine.
It takes some women a matter of 2 weeks to heal, but it can also take some women a few months depending on the locia and the degree of tearing.
There used to be advise given that said wait 6 weeks and most m/w will still give this info to cover themselves when it comes to infections.
make sure you use condoms so you don't get pregnant or get a nast infection down below. My friend had infected stitches and I was extra careful.

Like others have said its down to the way your body is, If its good at healing etc! xxx

It used to be 6 weeks, but new research has shown that we heal much faster. Just be careful and use condoms to reduce the risk of infection.
... to have sex after your baby? Is there a minimum time?
