Doctors say 4-6 weeks... depends on if you get a c-section or if you tear, etc. My husband and I honestly couldn't wait! We did around 4 weeks- and I had a c-section. I turned out just fine lol... it was too hard on us to wait any longer.

There are several things to factor in here.
1) What type of delivery did she have? If it was a vaginal, the doc may give her the green light at her 6 week check up. C-sections are usually not OK'd until 8 weeks.
2) Did she have any tearing? Tearing during a vaginal birth can be painful and leave scar tissue, which may hurt during intercourse. If that's the case, she might want to wait another few weeks.
3) After given the go-ahead to resume sex, is it uncomfortable for her at all? If so, she should wait a little longer.
In the end, the decision is up to her. Be patient, buddy, it'll happen ;)

It certainly depends on the situation. If you have a cesarian, the doctor may ask you to defer from sexual activity for some time, in order for the incision to heal. If you have a vaginal birth and have an epesiotomy, it might take some time to heal and feel up to it. As long as the doctor doesn't tell you to avoid sexual activity for a while, it's just up to the mother as to when she feels ready. Best of luck!

As soon as she feels comfortable. It usually takes around 6 weeks for the bleeding to stop and the new mom to heal all the way after the birth. But there are other ways to enjoy each other besides penetration. Oral is a good one. I sure you can think of something. Congratulations on the new baby.

it really is at the same time as ever "you" are waiting to go out or "sense" as a lot because it. do not enable human beings inform you otherwise. Your body is different than each human being else's. i became fairly differrent reason my infant had to have a technique on her heart at 10 days previous she's now 18 and living an entire energetic life. I went out the subsequent week when I had my infant actually because I had to keep going doing some thing as my infant became flown from Orlando, FL to Phildelphia, PA- little ones wellbeing middle for surg. I wasn't waiting to pass yet. i became invited to my female-chum and her kin for Thanksgiving Dinner b/4 we went to get my infant in PA. 2 & a million/2 months later. i became doing each thing in 4 wks after a C-section. oftentimes it must be 8 wks. yet I had to stay busy.

They say wait 6 weeks. Good luck with that. LOL.. I think we waited until the bleeding stopped and then we were rabbits again. Well in between feedings and diaper changes.
But use protection because nobody plans on going to their 6 week check up to find out they are pregnant again.

You should wait at least six weeks and then it depends on if the woman is up to it. You should not have sex before six weeks. The reason for this is because when you have a baby your cervix dilates. It takes six weeks for it to fully close back. If you have sex before then or insert anything (even a tampon) into your vagina then you have a huge risk for an infection because stuff can enter your cervix.

Your wife/girlfriend/partner will TELL you when you can resume normal sexual activity.
