Intercourse after stitches
Answers: It is recomended that you continue untill your 6 week check before having sex so the doctor can spawn sure that everything internally has gone back into place and your stiches hold healed properly.
having sex since your 6 week check can ( and has in some women) bring internal damage ..
1] The medical recommendation is 6 weeks - give stitches, etc. a chance to heal, and allows your uterus to restore to health up inside [ where placenta came stale ].
2] Hormones, fatigue, stress of new baby will affect lubrication and response.
a] Use lubricant, and birth control, and LOTS of mercy. [ try fingers first - if one OK: try 2; then if 2 OK - you will probably be fine! ]
b] your sexual response may take a few months to return to middle-of-the-road - but it will..
It's always best to wait at least possible 6 weeks after giving birth before going at again. It can be very raw if you don't lube up. A good lubricant is Astroglide. It's actually the best. And sort sure that your partner is extra gentle and slow.
Also make him wear a condom! Because you're severely fertile after child birth. Even if you are breastfeeding. Because , I'm sure, that the last thing you want to be told when you jump back for your check up, is that you're pregnant again. Give you're vagina the 6 weeks that it needs to alleviate and you're a year or so uterus .
Just take your time and enjoy your child. Congratulations! :-) .
