Generally, you should refrain from intercourse until after the bleeding has stopped for a few days and you feel more comfortable. This time is needed to allow for tissue healing and to prevent infection.
- Most doctors and midwives recommend that you wait at least 4 weeks after delivery to start having sex.
- You may be subject to the threat of uterine infection or internal bleeding due to the pressure till such time.
- If you have stitches after a normal delivery or C-section, you may require a confirmed approval from your doctor in your review that would happen after six weeks of delivery.
- Once your doctor checks on you and gives a green signal, you can have sex with your partner.
- Waiting till your body adapts and heals would be a great idea before you have that first intercourse post the birth of your baby.
