How long can a pregnant woman have sex?

Now there are many young couples who have just become parents. They are discussing a very important topic, that is, how soon can a mother have sex after she has given birth? This is because their originally harmonious and regular sex life has been disrupted during pregnancy. So, after the baby is born, they hope to enjoy the pleasure of sex life as soon as possible and hope to resume their sex life as soon as possible. Therefore, they all attach great importance to the issue of how soon can a mother have sex after she has given birth. Here, let’s discuss this issue together.

Regarding the question of how long a woman can have sex after giving birth, I believe everyone has different opinions. Some people think that after a woman gives birth and the lochia is discharged, she can resume normal sexual life; however, some people think that a woman's body has not fully recovered within six months after giving birth. If she resumes sexual life too early, it will easily leave sequelae to women and cause harm to their bodies. However, these ideas are not entirely correct.

For a normal parturient, the uterus will return to its normal size around 42 days after delivery. The endometrium will take about 56 days to heal completely. The vaginal mucosa can only fully return to normal after the ovarian function returns to normal, that is, after menstruation comes. Therefore, sexual intercourse must be prohibited within 56 days after delivery. If you can have sex after your menstruation resumes, it will be the most civilized and sensible approach.

The mother's physiological changes after childbirth are relatively large, especially the changes and injuries in the reproductive organs caused by pregnancy and labor, which take some time to return to normal. The couple can only have sex after the mother's body has fully recovered. Otherwise, it will lead to diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, etc.

There will be a temporary endocrine disorder after childbirth, and the feeling during sexual intercourse may be different from before, but this condition will gradually recover. You can consider using condoms for contraception.

When having sex after childbirth, you need to be careful not to have sex too frequently at the beginning. You need to control the rhythm and not have sex every day. During sex, the movements should be gentle, the ups and downs should not be too big, the frequency should not be too fast, the movements should not be too violent, and the insertion should not be too deep, otherwise it may cause vulvar laceration. You should pay attention to taking good contraceptive measures when having sex after childbirth, and you should not get pregnant again in a short period of time.
