Sex after implant

So Im 28. Just had a baby 6 weeks ago, just had a pm implanted 12-17-07. My OB will be releasing me to have sex tomorow, I really dont feel like calling my EP and asking if its safe to have sex. So let me have it. How long did you all wait? How should I limit myself?

Cool!
I can tell you it was a lot safer for me to enjoy sex after the implant than before! I only waited a few weeks. I did not use my left arm a lot... for anything and followed the instructions about not raising my arm above my head. It was not a problem keeping my arm at the recommended height or below. It was a bit weird at first as my husband touch the incision area.... didn't hurt it was just a new part of me.
Good luck...

I just wanted to let you know that I was wondering the same thing! hehe You know how when we were in school they would say ask anything because someone would wanna know the same thing! Well maybe that is true! Best of luck with everything! Rach

we were supposed to WAIT??? :) And, I thought the hospital bed was real cozy (only kidding!). LOL
Like BOB 1 said, if this is your first pacemaker, don't swing on any trapezes and you should be fine. The pacemaker won't make any difference at all.
Have a great time! :)

Don't ask the EP, just enjoy. That is unless you are planning to swing from a trapeze, or some such tricks. That would not be a good idea for a few months at least.

You know you're wired when...

Your life has spark.
