someone asked me this,
"After the baby is born, how soon can a
woman resume sexual activities with her
husband without putting herself in any form of
medical or health risk?"
Apparently a Man was having issues with his
Wife not being willing to do the dew with him
one month after delivery to the point neighbors
had to come in and separate the couple.
Hence her question to me.
************************************
While there's no required waiting period before
a woman can have sex again after delivery,
many health care providers recommend waiting
to have sex until FOUR to SIX WEEKS after
delivery.
BUT that’s with lots of considerations, and
depends on;
what kind of delivery the mother had…
if she had tears,
if she’s uncomfortable and if she’s
breastfeeding – which can cause vaginal
dryness and discomfort – among other things.
“The general consensus is six weeks, but that
is an arbitrary number. Whether a woman has
had a traumatic delivery or if she’s had a
straightforward delivery, the right time to have
sex is really when a woman feels comfortable
both physically and mentally,”
WILL IT HURT?
Hormonal changes usually leaves the vagina
dry and tender, especially if a woman is
breast-feeding.
She might experience some pain during sex if
she's still healing from an episiotomy (a
surgical cut made at the opening of the vagina
during childbirth, to aid a difficult delivery)
To ease discomfort during sex after pregnancy:
Seek pain relief. Take pain-relieving steps
beforehand, such as emptying your bladder,
taking a warm bath or taking an over-the-
counter pain reliever.
Use lubricant.
This can be helpful if you experience vaginal
dryness.
Note; A Married couple using lubricant during
sex (to treat a dry vagina problem) is not a
Sin.
Experiment.
Discuss alternatives to vaginal intercourse,
such as massage, oral sex (if you an your
partner are okay with it otherwise it's up to you
both to decide).
Tell your partner what feels good — and what
doesn't.
Make time. Set aside time for sex when
you're not too tired or anxious.
If sex continues to be painful, consult your
health care provider about possible treatment
options.
WILL IT FEEL DIFFERENT?
Pregnancy, labor and a vaginal delivery can
stretch or injure a woman's pelvic floor
muscles, which support the uterus, bladder,
small intestine and rectum.
To tone your pelvic floor muscles, try Kegel
exercises.
WHAT IF I'M NOT INTERESTED IN SEX?
It's very possible for a woman to not feel like
having sex after just having a baby, this is
perfectly normal.
However, there's more to intimacy than sex,
especially when you're adjusting to life with a
new baby.
If you're not feeling sexy or you're afraid sex
will hurt, talk to your partner.
Until you're ready to have sex, MAINTAIN
INTIMACY IN OTHER WAYS.
Spend time together without the baby, even if
it's just a few minutes in the morning and after
the baby goes to sleep. Look for other ways to
express affection and satisfy your partner.
If you're still struggling, be alert for signs and
symptoms of postpartum depression — such
as severe mood swings, loss of appetite,
overwhelming fatigue and lack of joy in life. If
you think you might have postpartum
depression, contact your health care provider.
Prompt treatment can speed recovery.
Remember, taking good care of yourself can
go a long way toward keeping passion alive.
BIRTH CONTROL.
Remember, pregnancy immediately after
delivery is not recommended, Women need
time to recover from the effects of pregnancy,
To reduce the risk of pregnancy complications
and other health problems, limited research
suggests waiting at least 18 to 24 months
before attempting your next pregnancy.
So husbands before you are eager to resume
bedroom activities with madam when the baby
is still just seven months Please Note:
Family planning is recommended to space
children.
Sex after delivery requires a reliable method of
birth control.
Consult your doctor for family planning
methods.

Closing Remarks
Dear Husbands, please be considerate, and
understanding, if she's not yet feeling like it, be
patient with her, show her love and be nice,
she'll come around soon enough.
Dear Wives, please don't be too harsh or hard
on your husbands when he's pleading to go to
Jerusalem and you are not in the mood.
If he's feeling like having some action and you
aren't, let him know in love,
Be open and willing to try other ways of
pleasing him.
Don't just push him away with "don't you see I
just gave birth" or "you're being selfish"
Wisdom is profitable to Direction.
