One question that is very common is, How long should i wait to have sex after giving birth?
.
This is a very good question.
Now, most doctors recommend between four to six weeks. After eighter a vigal dilvery or caesarean section and that's because you really need to give you body time to heel before you jump back into sex.
How long should i take?
- Give pelvic floor time to heel.
It need to regain that tone and that strength and you can start doing pelvic exercises.
- Wait for the bleeding to stop completely
you also need to wait for the cervix to close completely after giving birth. so first there gonna be little bleeding and then spotting and then it will close and you really need to wait for that to happened in order to not to have the risk of having infection.
- Wait for hormone levels to return to normal.
Now remember, you are also gonna have a large hormone shift right after you give birth and this can cause some people to get a little depressed, but it also cause vigal dryness so give yourself a chance to let your body heal and recover from that hormonal shift.
- Regain vigal muscle tone.
If you had a c-section, you're going to have a surgical scar with stitches that needs time to heal and your abdominal wall also needs to recover. If you have had a vigal delivery, not only might you have vigal lacerations, and also might have an episiotomy that does require sometime as well to heal properly.

I am too busy can also be your excusefor you husaband, the baby can be up in a few minute to get another feeding, put intimacy at top of priority list. Use empty time for affection, like using internet at night and you can put the laptop away that can be fill with holding hands, kissing and hugging.
