Given a popular belief that it is wrong and unsafe for a woman to be having sexual intercourse with her husband soon after childbirth until after some months or when she has weaned the baby, and given the fact that I have seen women losing their husbands or causing their husbands to engage in extramarital affairs because of this belief, how long should a man wait before he could make love to his wife after childbirth?

This subject has been discussed TO DEATH.

From a medical perspective, many doctors recommend that women wait at least six weeks to have sexual intercourse after childbirth. Although, many women do not follow the advice it will not hurt the woman nor the child.

Having a child is very stressful on the woman's body and giving her the break and RESPECT will go a long way. Do what you have been doing before you met your wife/girl------MASTURBATE.

You last only 2 minutes right? Be considerate.

6 weeks. I waited 2 months though.

LMFAO!!! vry funny!!!

LOL. Months ke. For the most part women can have sex after 6 weeks. Months is just ridiculous. Where did you hear that

I feel sorry for women. It must suck to constantly have your v/jay working overtime and getting worn out. If it is not p.e/nis going in and out of there, then it is pickin or monthly period. Phew!

There is no known implication for a woman to become intimate after child birth but doctors give the directive to enable the woman's hole to heal properly from the bruises sustained during childbirth especially when the woman has tears under.
Men should give their wives enough time for the hole to completely heal and regain its rigidity/firmness,if heal properly the hole will be as tight as new with firm elasticity.

If your wife gives birth through natural birth and she is well stiched up (good stiches last heal within 5 days)she can have sex a week later after birth if she is ready. However if she is not be considerate however the woman shld also be considerate don't deprive ur man attention n then sex

Now im scared

Waiting 6 weeks is not inconsiderate. it is inconsiderate for the man to put pressure on her even if it has been two weeks. How can you say after 5 days. That is just not right. If I cut you with a knife and it is stitched up would you offer for me to hit you on it continuosly because you got good stitches just after 5 days. Lets be real. Many women are ready before the 6 weeks period emotionally but don't let lack of discipline lead to complications that might make your waiting even longer. Your insides have to heal. The outside also has to heal. Even after 6 weeks with my first we had to be still be gentle. I was still sore but I had healed. I obviously don't agree that a couple should wait months and even worse until the baby is weaned. Just ridiculous but I think saying that every woman is ready to physically do it after one week might be irresponsible. Most women are not physically ready even when they need/want to have sex

chaircover:

There is nothing stopping you from both of you doing it the next day if the woman is up to it physically and emotionally The only thing I will advise is that the man uses a condom so that she doesnt get an infection and he is very gentle.

Even at the six week postnatal check up they will be asking you if you have started Being Intimate again and what contraception are you on/will be using assuming that you dont want another baby very quickly. Which means that they would have expected you to have started making love again.

So There is no set in stone answer to your question. It solely depends on your wife and how soon she feels comfortable  & ready to commence duty 

lol. Very true chaircover and except the woman had a CS or adviced otherwise medicaly

Na wah o.
dont women bleed after childbirth?
I guess once the bleeding stops then you are well enough to have sex but not before then.
I would say between one month and six weeks.
Its exhausting to have a baby and take care of a new born and then get going too soon.
Unless its in suffering and smiling mode.

Its really sad for me reading this,

Did da man actually see his wife give birth? And wen she received stitches for 2nd or 3rd degree tear?

Is d woman involved actally taking care of d baby, or did she just ave d baby n dropped him with d guy's mother to take care of

For all i care, the woman shd take all the time she wants to get ready, she knows her body better, if it takes 6weeks, fine, if it take 3mths, goodluck!

Its exhausin take care of a new born, aving sleepless nite n having to go thru all dat, infact, it'l be d last thing on ma mind sef,

ya

I dont see reasons why intimacy should be a problem to new parents if there is understanding. If the woman is yet to heal then smooching should do chikena.

This things tired me oh.
