After finally surviving the ten-month pregnancy and the postpartum recovery period, both men and women want to enjoy hearty sex. When having sex after childbirth, besides passion is not enough, you must also pay attention to the issue of contraception. Next, let us learn together what contraceptive matters need to be paid attention to when having sex after childbirth.

What contraceptive issues should I pay attention to when having sex after giving birth?

1. You should use contraception when having sex for the first time

Some people believe that the first time to have sex after giving birth is relatively early. At this time, some women have not yet menstruated, so they will naturally not get pregnant and will have unprotected sex. This idea is wrong. Some women recover very quickly and their ovarian function recovers quickly. Some women have no menstruation but resume ovulation. If they have sex at this time, women will get pregnant unexpectedly. Although women who give birth naturally have the conditions to become pregnant, having two consecutive births with a short interval will have a great impact on the woman's health. Women who have had a caesarean section have not recovered from their wounds and are not suitable for sexual intercourse in the short term. They can only choose artificial abortion. In order to protect women's health, contraception must be done from the beginning.

2. Don’t take birth control pills

After giving birth, if you are a woman who chooses to breastfeed, it is best not to use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. Birth control pills contain some estrogens such as testosterone and progesterone, which can affect women's breastfeeding and make women produce less and less milk. Moreover, the ingredients of contraceptive pills will enter the baby's body and affect the baby's growth and development, as well as its health. When having sex during lactation, it is best to choose condoms as a contraceptive method. This method is convenient and quick, will not have any adverse effects on the female body, and has a relatively high safety factor.

3. Women who have had a caesarean section should pay special attention

When women who have had a caesarean section have sex after giving birth, they must wait until their bodies have fully recovered and their wounds have healed before having sex, and they must also take contraceptive measures. Women who have a caesarean section generally cannot become pregnant two years later. If they become pregnant within two years, they can only choose artificial abortion. I hope that all men can understand the hard work of a mother, cherish her health, care for her, and don't let your wife suffer the pain of miscarriage just for your own enjoyment.

4. Take emergency contraceptive pills with caution

If you do not take contraceptive measures during sex after giving birth, you can save it by taking emergency contraceptive pills. However, you must be careful when taking emergency contraceptive pills. They can only be used for emergencies and cannot be used for regular contraceptive methods. Otherwise, it will affect women's health and easily lead to premature ovarian failure in women. After taking emergency contraceptive pills, do not breastfeed your child within 12 hours, and drain the accumulated milk completely before feeding your child. However, the best way is to use contraception every time you have sex after childbirth. Even if you have menstruation, you cannot use the safe period method to prevent pregnancy, because lactating women have irregular menstruation, and miscalculations will cause you to get pregnant.

Contraceptive measures should be taken during the first sexual intercourse after childbirth. This is a sign of responsibility for women's health. Never put women's bodies aside for your own enjoyment. The above are several aspects that need to be paid attention to during postpartum contraception. I hope you can keep them in mind.
