How long after the second child is born can I have sex

We all know that women are not allowed to have sex in the later stages of pregnancy. At this time, there is a risk of premature birth at any time. If you have sex at this time, it will increase the chance of premature birth and will cause great harm to the fetus. After the second child is born naturally, the woman's uterus and vagina will have varying degrees of damage, which also requires a certain amount of time to repair automatically. Therefore, don't be eager to have sex after a normal birth. After all, your own body is the most important. You must make sure that the postpartum recovery is in the best condition before having sex. At this time, the relationship between husband and wife will become closer.

How long after the second child is born can I have sex?

It is best to have sex 56 days after the second child is born naturally.

According to research, the most suitable postpartum period for women who give birth naturally, that is, the confinement period, is 56 days. This period of time is the automatic recovery period of the female endometrium. After this period, the mother's body is normal and theoretically she can have sex. The specific time depends on the physical condition and postpartum recovery of each mother, but it is recommended not to be earlier than 42 days. Therefore, it is best to have sex 56 days after the second child is born naturally.

Reasons why you can’t have sex too early after the second child is born naturally:

Because during pregnancy, the uterus gradually expands and grows due to the development and growth of the fetus. By the time of delivery, the uterus is much larger than before pregnancy. Therefore, the time it takes for the uterus to recover after childbirth is relatively long, which takes about 42 days. During this period, the mother's uterus gradually returns to its normal size. However, it takes longer for a woman's endometrium to recover its shape and size than the uterus, about 56 days. Once the endometrium has basically recovered and menstruation comes, it will gradually recover.

The best time for women who give birth naturally is around 56 days, and the earliest is after 42 days. Some mothers have poor physical fitness, are weak, and have poor postpartum recovery, so the delivery time will be delayed. If you have any other questions, please consult your doctor immediately.

The dangers of having sex too early after the second child is born naturally:

1. Causes gynecological diseases After a woman gives birth, her uterus gradually shrinks from large to normal until it returns to normal. However, having sex before recovery may cause vaginal swelling and even gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginitis.

2. Vaginal injury: During normal delivery through the birth canal, the vaginal wall and mucosa are injured, which takes some time to recover. Before it is fully repaired, sexual intercourse may cause tears in the vaginal mucosa, leading to vaginal bleeding.

3. Affects the body's recovery. After giving birth, the mother's sexual life becomes cold for a period of time, and the damaged parts of the body are unable to recover in time. Having sex too early will affect the mother's physical recovery, prolong the recovery period, and even affect the harmonious life of the couple. At this time, the husband needs to be more caring and considerate of his wife, do a good job of comforting her, and consider his wife's safety.

Things to note when having sex after a second child is born:

1. Pay attention to maintaining hygiene. Childbirth consumes a lot of women's body functions, and their immunity and resistance are relatively poor, especially when the uterus has not returned to normal size and the endometrial trauma has not healed. Therefore, sexual intercourse at this time must be kept hygienic. Both parties should wash their private parts with warm water before having sex, especially men should keep their genitals clean. Women should also clean the perineum after intercourse to avoid cross infection.

2. Be gentle with your movements. After giving birth, the trauma to the reproductive organs has not yet healed, the vagina is relatively dry, and the mucous membrane is also very fragile. It will tear if too much force is applied. At this time, men need to pay attention to the strength of their movements, not to be too violent or use too much force, and be gentle during intercourse. The gentle movements can also eliminate women's psychological barriers and promote emotional relaxation. Otherwise, it is easy to cause tearing of the female vagina and cause bleeding. If the mother's vagina is dry and painful, she can use vaginal lubricants to relieve the pain.

3. Contraception is needed after childbirth. Some young couples lack common sense about contraception and think that they will not get pregnant before the menstrual period after childbirth. Therefore, they have no scruples and do not use any contraceptive methods. This is a wrong practice. Many women have sex without taking any contraceptive measures after giving birth and end up getting pregnant. It is extremely unfavorable for women to get pregnant at this time. Because the woman has just given birth and her uterine function has not recovered, becoming pregnant again will increase the burden on the uterus. Postpartum contraception is not only beneficial to normal breastfeeding, but also to the health of the mother.
