My delivery was a few weeks ago and now my husband is asking about resuming intimacy. I'm not sure if it's safe to have sex yet or when we can start again after pregnancy.
Medically speaking, most doctors suggest waiting for about six weeks postpartum to prevent infections, especially if u had stitches. It really varies from person to person. It's best to ask your gynac during your routine postpartum checkup.
Since I had PCOS, my recovery took a little longer and I was very scared of hurting myself. Take it very slow and talk to your husband about how u feel. Supportive partner and doctor's advice makes it much easier.
Haha who even has the energy for sex with a newborn crying every 2 hours? 😂 But seriously, wait for the bleeding to stop and for your doctor to say ok. For us, sleep is the ultimate luxury right now!
OMG I was so scared that it would hurt forever after my episiotomy. But trust me, we waited for 8 weeks and it was totally fine! Just don't panic, your body is very resilient and things go back to normal soon.
I just delivered 2 months back and we actually waited until my 6-week postpartum checkup. Honestly, it felt a bit different and dry at first, so definitely use a good lube. Take your time, there is no rush at all.
In our family, elders suggest waiting for at least 2-3 months to let the body fully recover. My doctor also advised waiting for 6 weeks and getting a checkup first. It is very important to let your stitches heal completely before trying.
