Had my baby through normal delivery around 5 weeks back. Healing feels mostly okay now but im not sure when its actually safe to start again. A bit awkward to ask my gynac directly so asking here, when did u all resume?
I was so terrified of this! I kept overthinking that it would hurt or cause an infection. Honestly, please wait at least 6 to 8 weeks and ask your doctor first, don't rush into it.
Also, remember that you can get pregnant again very quickly even if your periods haven't started. Think about birth control costs and methods beforehand. Do discuss this during your 6-week doctor visit to avoid any accidental early pregnancies.
Our bodies go through so much, especially with hormonal shifts. For me, because of my PCOS history, healing took a bit longer. It is best to wait until your 6-week postpartum checkup and let the doctor confirm if your cervix is fully closed.
Haha, with twins, you won't even find the time or energy for months! But seriously, wait for at least 6 weeks for your body to heal properly inside. After that, whenever you and your husband feel ready, go slow.
Sex? What is that? I only know sleep! Honestly, my baby wakes up every 2 hours, so romantic time is on long hold. But seriously, gynac told me minimum 6 weeks is a must to prevent any infections.
I completely understand if you are feeling anxious or pressured about this. Your feelings are totally valid, delivery is a major physical trauma. Take your time, talk to your husband openly, and do it only when you feel 100% comfortable.
Ghar pe humare bade-boode hamesha bolte hain ki delivery ke baad kam se kam do mahine ka parhez rakhna chahiye. Body ko andar se theek hone me time lagta hai na. Aap bilkul jaldi mat karo, dheere-dheere sab theek ho jayega.
My MIL was very strict about keeping me in my room for 40 days of post-pregnancy rest. Actually, it was good because the body heals during this sava mahina. Don't think about intercourse until this healing phase is completely over.
The standard medical advice is to wait at least 6 weeks postpartum, whether it was a vaginal birth or a C-section. Your uterine lining needs time to heal completely to avoid any risk of infection. It's always best to get a green light from your gynac during your checkup.
I totally understand how much you want to feel normal and close to your partner again, dear. It is a beautiful way to reconnect. Just listen to your body, heal gently, and make sure your doctor gives you the green light first.
