My dr told me three weeks.i have heard lots say they didn't even wait that long!

Dr told me as long as i wasnt doing anything crazy...six weeks for any ab work outs but that i could do just about anything that Didnt involve using stomach muscles. Dont be embarrassed to ask believe me ur Dr has heard it all.

The doctor

That is!

I'd wait till your staples come out personally.

When you are able to rejoin hubby in the bedroom maybe try postions that don't involve your abdominal muscles . I' d stay away from missionary maybe try chick on top instead

never be afraid to ask your doctor anything

my dr said whenever i was ready and if it hurts (stop or try another position) :)

I had steri-strips took them off on day 7 after surgery .... I'm concerned because I had an umbilical hernia repaired and I still have a little drainage is this normal after 3 weeks post-op

I'm not hungry And I'm not worried about work outs I just wanna get back in the bedroom. The night before surgery was a marathon just in case it'd be a while. Lol. I would be surprised if I made it thru the weekend

If it feels good ...do it. If it hurts you may need to get creative to help hubby out until you are back in full form.

This is hilarious but soooo true

Im thinking back to right after surgery for me.... I'd say missionary would use the least stomach muscles. That was also the most comfortable position for me to be in any time right after surgery. If you still tender put a pillow over your stomach and tell hubby to take it easy.
