sex after pregnancy

There is no absolute rule when you can start having sex after delivery. In addition, the question is often what you mean by sex. Is it an orgasms, penis-in-vagina or something else? Many doctors recommend waiting with having sex about four weeks after you give birth, but this may change in individual circumstance. If you have had major lacerations and many stitches, it's likely that your doctor will advise you to wait until after she checks you out at your six-week postpartum visit. After you get your caregiver's go-ahead, it's okay to start having sex again as soon as you feel ready and not before.
