Sex 3 weeks after giving birth?

[Lucyloo102]

Gave birth 3 weeks 2 days ago and I’m wondering if it’s safe to have sex now? I still have the lightest bleeding so don’t know if it’s better to wait a bit longer or if I’ll be ok? Don’t want to run the risk of complications or infections especially with everything going on in the world right now so if it’s best to wait I will. I otherwise feel fine and it doesn’t hurt down there.

If you’re still bleeding I wouldn’t.

I did as it felt right. Do what your body tells you

I'd just wait a little longer until the bleeding stops, I think I waited until about 5 weeks

Wait until the bleeding has stopped.

Rare but a woman did die from having sex too soon but I can't remember all the details. Depends if you want to risk anything really.
