First intercourse time after normal delivery

Modern women will no longer risk their lives to give birth like women in the past, because medical technology is very advanced now, and the probability of women's casualties due to natural childbirth has been greatly reduced, which ensures family happiness. Therefore, women's lives are protected by modern technology, and natural childbirth has become the choice of most women. However, the first sexual intercourse after natural childbirth has become a problem for many women. Let's take a look at the time of the first sexual intercourse after natural childbirth.

Doctors generally recommend waiting until 42 days (6 weeks) after delivery and undergoing a postpartum body system check before resuming sexual life. However, a few people suggest that you can try to resume your sexual life before the 42-day checkup, so that if you encounter any problems, you can consult your doctor in time during the checkup. Therefore, some couples resume their sexual life within one month after delivery, but more couples resume their sexual life between 1 to 3 months after delivery. However, there are also a small number of couples who wait until 6 months or even 1 year after delivery to resume their sexual life. Therefore, there is no specific time standard for how long you should wait before resuming sexual life after childbirth. You can decide based on your actual situation.

For various reasons, new mothers may feel reluctant or even have no interest in sex after giving birth. The most direct cause is the pain caused by episiotomy and suture. Even if the new mother has not had an episiotomy and has no tearing, the perineum may feel abraded and sensitive for a period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that the wound should be allowed to heal and the sutures to be absorbed before resuming sexual activity.

In addition, there is another factor that is difficult to overcome, which is the fatigue after childbirth. It is already a tiring and stressful task for a new mother to take care of her baby 24 hours a day, so when she goes to bed, she just wants to sleep. How a new mother feels about her body may also affect her mood. After going through so many changes during pregnancy and childbirth, it takes time to feel back to herself. Many mothers mentioned that their sexual desire would be very low during this period, and some simply felt that they were not sexy enough.

From the above explanation, the time of the first sexual intercourse after a normal delivery needs to be strictly controlled, because women have a recovery process after a normal delivery, and this process takes a considerable amount of time. Therefore, women should try to rest as much as possible after giving birth and let their bodies fully recover before considering sexual intercourse.
