Friend in Need of Advice

yeeeooouuchhh!!!! I had 2 c-sections and would have run him off with a club if he looked at me like that when I was still in pain and trying to heal up from the c-section. More worried about infection than preggo. What were they thinking??

I would think there would be a chance, and her doctor should of told her how long to wait...I would think she would not want sex after giving birth and all.

Hey M., If your friend is breastfeeding: she has some degree of protection from getting pregnant.. Now, if not, I'm scared for her, but with all the fluctuating hormones, (maybe-just maybe) the pregnancy bug will pass her by this time.

oh yes she is crazy lol.it happen 2 me

Wow! I had a c-section with both my pregnancies and trust me my husband was lucky he ever got close to me aftre the first!! She needs to take care of her body and that means she needs to listen to the doctor. She is at risk of infection and she could pull stitches inside. Pregnancy is the least of her concerns. Her husband needs to be more responsible.

You are most firtle after just having a baby

100% she could be pregnant!!!!! My co-worker has the Irish twins to prove it.

If she isn't ready for number 2 she needs to use a condom. Also, the pull out method doesn't work. That is how my co-worker ended up with Irish twins. She was breast feeding and her husband did pull out (it happened at around 3 weeks).

M....tell your friend any time there's unprotected sex, there's ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy! I'd recommend she take a pregnancy test and if it turns out negative, she needs to get on some type of birth control method.

First off, I would more worry about infection or damage to the healing process inside than getting pregnant. Most doctors don't recommend sex until 6 weeks. With a C-section, there are several layers of tissue that are sutured (or glued) and they can easily pull apart and infection set in. That really wasn't a wise thing to do! As for getting pregnant, it's not likely, but I HAVE heard of it happening that soon after delivering. I suggest she see her doctor very soon, ESPECIALLY if she suffers any pain other than what she's already had or starts running a fever, or notices unusual discharge.

slim, but she shouldn't be having sex until she's been cleared by her dr to make sure she doesn't get an infection. It is possible to get pregnant before she has a period and if she wants to avoid it then she needs to take much better precautions in the future.

Pregnancy is the least of her concerns - there is a reason they say no tampons, douches or any other forgein object (including him) in the vaginal area!!!! Her uterus and falopian tubes are still a huge open wound. There is a huge rick of infection. I would recomend she fess up to ob/gyn at the next appointment and be fully checked for both!!!

I had a c-section with our daughter and when I left the hospital my ob-gyn sent me home with birth control cause he said that yes I could get pregnant if we had sex. So Yes I think that she can get pregnant from that one time.

Wow...2 weeks after c-section? I can't even fathom how a woman can have a desire for intercourse after only 2 weeks, especially when you add sleep deprivation to it. I think she should be more worried about the risk of infection. There is a good chance that she could get pregnant, but I think the infection or causing internal damage risk is higher. Most doctors recommend that you don't even drive for at least 2 weeks after in case you had to slam on your brakes you wouldn't tear your internal stitches. Getting pregnant right after a c-section is very dangerous...her OB/GYN most in likely recommended that she not get pregnant again for at least 12 months to give her uterian stitches complete time to heal. My dr actually recommended 18 months. Supposedly anything sooner than that you are taking a risk of your uterus being too weak to carry a pregnancy & it rupturing.

She needs to let her ob/gyn know about this so they can check her out completely at her next checkup. And for the future, her & her hubby need to be more responsible!!!

I think your friend will be ok but who knows. I would have her call her doctor/nurse and ask.

Just wanted to write some encouragement to you. I noticed that in your info about yourself you mentioned that you also take care of your father in addition to your family. I think it is really great that you are doing that and eventhough it takes a lot of extra engery and time, please know that he appreciates it and God is blessing you in the biggest way as he has chosen you to help your father. My dad passed away suddenly last year due to a heart attack. He previously had been experiencing some dibillitateing symptoms of another disease. Selfishly, I often wondered what kind of stress it would put on me and my family if something happened to my mom and I had to care for him. I miss my dad so much and I wish that he was still here, disabled or not so that I could take care of him. I know it takes a lot out of you to take care of your dad, but thank you for caring for him and remember to thank God for everyday you have with your dad.

You mentioned that your friend has a c-section and she had intercourse T. weeks after. She is not only at risk of getting pregnant but to get an infection. She is also compromising her surgery. She has not healed properly inside. The surgery may look good on the outside but it takes longer to heel inside.

Good luck,
Elisa

Wow, I can't believe she's even ready for sex 2 wks after. Now I didn't have c-sections but aren't you supposed to wait 6 weeks? I'd think she could get pregnant. Good luck to her :)

It's actually very likely that she could get preggo. My dr said that if we weren't careful we could get preggo very quickly after. It has something to do with your body being in that mode recently. She needs to be very careful or she could end up pregnant right off the bat.

Anything can happen but I feel like it is to soon, because she may not have gotten back on her scheduale yet.
