Maybe seek advice from your doctor or midwife, as they will guide you based on your circumstance.

If it’s your second baby (2th?!) then you will hopefully remember or have some idea from the first time around. You’ve been here before - but as said above, any doubt check with a medical professional.

The old advice was you have to wait until you get home.

Dont forget to think about contraception, guy at work had a baby (congrats all around) 4 weeks later he announced another on the way as thought they would not get caught so soon afterwards, thought wrong...(misery all around)

Unless you have a private room.

Probably better if you ask the people on the pregnancy or parenting threads! 😁

After your 6 week postpartum check up.

When you feel ready. Dont let him pressure you. At least 6 weeks after to give your body time to heal

Why 9 months? You can have sex while pregnant.

No it doesn’t. I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant with DC4 and have had sex throughout all my pregnancies. The midwife should have made that clear to you. At least now you know it’s fine.

I want one or two more kids so it's good to know

The midwives answer?
….. best wait until you’ve delivered the placenta……

sorry, I’ll get my coat 🚪➡️🧥

I waited 3 weeks, as I really wanted it, back in the day, but I guess it’s an individual thing.

There is 54 weeks between my wife and her sister and 63 between my sister and I. Less 40 weeks gestation my MIL and Mum were getting their freak on within a couple of months. Not imagery I need.
