Pregnancy is a very happy but very hard thing. Pregnancy in ten months welcomes the fruit of love. Many new parents are relieved and think that they can finally enjoy sex. In fact, everyone is happy a little early. You cannot have sex immediately after giving birth. You have to wait for a while until the new mother recovers before having sex. Next, let’s take a look at how long it will take for women to have sex after giving birth and what they need to pay attention to when having sex.

How long after giving birth can I have sex?

How long it takes to have sex after giving birth depends on which method of delivery a woman chooses. If you choose a natural delivery, you are not allowed to have sex during the puerperium, which means that a woman’s body has not fully recovered during confinement, so sex is prohibited at this time. Go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination 42 days after delivery, and wait until the recovery is almost complete before having sex. It is more appropriate to have sex after about two months after delivery. If it is a woman who had a caesarean section, she needs a faster recovery time, at least two months. She should go to the doctor to check the recovery status of the incision. If the recovery of the incision is very good, she can have sex with the doctor's permission. . However, no matter which method of delivery is used, individual differences exist. Some girls just do not recover well, so the waiting time must be extended appropriately.

What should you pay attention to when having sex after giving birth?

1. Have a private space

When having sex, it is best to have a private space. When having sex, do not share the same bed with your child. You can coax the child to sleep and then go to another bedroom or other room. Of course, if possible, you can ask a nanny or your own family to take care of the child. Only when the space is completely private can two people let go. Otherwise, while having sex, they will be afraid that the child will wake up, and the quality of sex life will not be particularly high, and it will even leave a shadow.

2. Pay attention to hygiene

After giving birth, women’s bodies are relatively weak and their resistance is relatively low. At this time, they are especially vulnerable to bacterial attacks. Therefore, before having sex, both men and women must clean their private parts and wear condoms.

3. Control the frequency of sex

I can understand the urgency of two people not having sex for a long time, but the frequency of sex must not be too high. After a woman gives birth, her body has not fully recovered, and some of her reproductive organs are still damaged. Frequent sexual intercourse can cause injuries to a woman's private parts. Not only will it make women feel uncomfortable, but it will also leave a psychological shadow on them, and may even make them sexually frigid, and they will reject sex in the future.

4. Contraceptive measures should be taken

As a woman's body slowly recovers, ovulation has resumed, although sometimes menstruation has not yet come, and ovulation has resumed. At this time, unprotected sex can make a woman pregnant. Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, pregnancy immediately will have an impact on a woman's health, so in most cases artificial abortion is chosen, so that women will be harmed again. Therefore, no matter when you need contraception, it is best to use condoms. It is good for both people if the man temporarily bears the responsibility for contraception.

Having sex after childbirth is something that many people have questions about. I hope that after reading this article, everyone will have a clear understanding of it. Don't be too impatient at any time. You must put a woman's health as the premise. To love her, you must respect her and consider her health.
