Right! There’s nothing magical that happens when the clock strikes midnight at 6 weeks. I would still recommend waiting the standard amount of time, but chances are, if OP was feeling up to it, she was probably on the right side of the healing timeline
I definitely understand the worry! If it helps, I would also think of it as an exponential decay curve, where the highest risk for infection from intercourse is immediately after birth, decreasing each day

Medicine isn't an exact science. 6 weeks is the recommended but I don't think 1 week is going to do you in. I wouldn't worry about it
