Sex after newborn

Hi there

Just a quick question

I was very lucky to be blessed with my baby boy just over two weeks ago and had a completely normal delivery and didn't tear or need stitches etc.

My bleeding has stopped for three days now.

I was just wondering if it's a must that I stick to the six weeks before having sex ? My hormones are raging embarrassingly and I'm very eager.?

I know to be safe of course - any advice ?

Hiya

I think they advise waiting 6 weeks as the bleeding can come and go but I know people who haven't waited
Just make sure you use contraception as your very fertile after giving birth

I was always asked whether I had started having sex again at the 6 week check. I think it was so they could check if there were any problems. I didn't have any stitches and started again after a week.

No need to wait, go for it! Six weeks is crazy long!
