Intimacy after childbirth

Hi mummies, First time mummy here. Curious to know when did you feel ready to get intimate with your husband again after childbirth? How do you know if you are ready mentally, emotionally and physically (how can you tell if your body has healed fully?). How does it feel like to engage sexually for the first time after childbirth? Appreciate any sharing of past experiences!

I started to only have intimacy moment with my husband when my stitches heal and after I'm done with my confinement. Having said that we don't do often. Perhaps in a month twice or thrice. This is to avoid tearing or discomfort. During follow up I was also given lubricant so that I dont feel discomfort. I did told them I feel pain and doctor mentioned perhaps it is too dry. If i'm too tired, i'm aint in the mood, i will voice out that i'm not ready. During my confinement, my masseuse informed that we must ensure our inner body heal and we feel comfortable. Don't do when you are not ready or properly heal, this will affect you in your next conceiving. Hope this helps.
