remember eavesdropping on my mum’s conversation with a friend of hers when I was much younger. They were sharing birth stories and both of them agreed it was the most painful and life changing thing they had ever encountered. They talked about how the size of the baby might make the midwives decide to cut the vagina for easier passage. The picture that information left in my mind made me fear I would never be ready for the encounter. Imagine being stuck with sanitary pads for close to 30days at a go.

I was told by the doctor to wait for at least 6weeks after my child so you’d understand my horror when a woman shared how her husband slept with her six days after giving birth and it sparked a lot of debate. This coupled with other thoughts in my head roused my curiosity to know if there was a uniform time we all have to adhere to as women before our body feels ready.

It's relative as some can start after few days while others have to wait for weeks.

Only the doctor could advise based on the state of her health.

Medically, it's six (6) weeks for deliveries without any complication(s)

Other factors that could prolong sex after delivery are:

Mode of delivery: CS

Medical challenge faced by mother before, during, or after delivery: Hypertension, tear, blood loss, etc, and speed of recovery and healing of stitches.

Baby's medical uprightness: this may throw the couples (mother especially) into emotional stress and sexual unreadiness.


NB: CONSULT A DOCTOR PLEASE.

Politically is fullness of time.

Well irrespective of all the advise, it depends on the readiness of the woman. The flow that comes out of the woman needs to stop normally before sex can commence.
