4 days here. Just do whatever feels right and no swinging from the tightropes.

Lol, omg and ur Stomach didn't bother you all? I still have trouble reaching up, walking for extended periods of time, heck it still hurts when I cough, sneeze or yell to loud lol...I'm guessing im nervous about my tummy contracting during $?&@.

I asked my doc at my last pre-op appointment he said whenever you feel up to it....I waited until two weeks I was kinda milking it a little but didn't want to try to soon and actually hurt something.....and I was good I did however make my husband use extreme caution and if he was on my stomach too much I vocalized this. Take your time and yes if you are feeling like that still give it a few more days how far post op are you?

You'll know if it doesn't feel right. I hope you are with a partner who understands what you are going through and is OK, if you say, "Wait, something doesn't feel right", but lose the anxiety surrounding it. It really isn't a big deal. Just go nice and slow. You may actually enjoy it.

Ever hear of scissor position? Not a problem.

No ... you just supported a long held mystery of women and sex.
