Depends how fast u heal if your are vaginal birth. My wound healed at about 3 weeks. Resume sex at 6 weeks still feeling sore. Until 12 weeks is normal. I can across numbers of mummies also resume at 8-12 weeks. But some resume at 4 weeks.

That would be.. quite brave. Whether you deliver via normal vaginal delivery or C-section, you’ll still be sore at 3 weeks. Think the usual recommendation is 6-8 weeks.

Me. I had sex 3 weeks after delivery. Natural no epidural. My stitches have healed by 2 weeks and no longer bleeding.

It is totally up to an individual’s preference as long as the body is healed and recovered from delivery

Yes it’s ok. Importantly ur gynae should have check already? Cause I rmb we have to revisit in 2 weeks?

if u comfortable, some might still have the lochia bleeding

If gynae said you are healed I guess it would be ok!

Should be fine if you're not bleeding or in pain(:
