I’m 6 weeks post partum, scared to have intercourse. Has anyone got any recommendations

Do you feel ready? 6 weeks is very early.

Wait til you’re ready.

It’s not a requirement. You wait until you’re ready. That might be another 6 weeks or even months. No one should be having sex when they feel scared to do it. And no decent man should be pressuring his partner for it.

Just bumping this because I can’t stop worrying about the OP-if she’s a newly post partum woman being guilted or pressurised she needs our support.
