Sex After Childbirth

After giving birth, it is recommended that a woman waits for a duration of 42 days, equivalent to 6 weeks, before she starts having sex again. This period covers all types of delivery.

An essential factor to take into account during this postpartum period is ensuring that any discharge of blood and reproductive fluids has stopped coming out and the woman's psychology is comfortable to re-engage in sexual activities.

For those who have undergone a C-Section, it is advisable to approach intercourse in a manner that does not cause discomfort or harm to the stitches. This precaution not only facilitates a speedier healing process but also minimizes potential pain during the sexual act.
