The answer is - it all depends on you and your partner. It's normal not to feel much like having sex for the first weeks, at least, and to approach it all gently for a while. The following, can be a deterrent to sex.
- Vaginal discharge, which can continue for several weeks after birth (if the discharge makes you feel sore or is itchy or smelly, contact your doctor)
- Tiredness
- Stitches in the perineum
- Finding the time when your baby's asleep and not likely to wake up for a while
- The sheer shock to the system of having a new baby
The vagina usually returns to its former shape well and your partner is unlikely to be aware of any difference. If you have concerns, however, speak with your health professional.
Your breasts may feel a little tender at first. Sexual arousal can cause milk to leak, too. If this is something you or your partner find off-putting, try to feed your baby before you make love to help reduce leakage.
Dont rush it, take your time and do it when you are both ready. If you find you're still not interested after a few months, and it's worrying either of you, take the time to talk about it to your GP.
If tiredness is the main problem, organise so time away together. Remember to use contraception if you don't want to become pregnant again. Many women are most fertile after giving birth.
You may have just gone off sex. That is OK. Just discuss it with your partner if it is causing problems
