Postpartum sexual life taboos

For a woman, the happiest moment is when she is a mother. But the most painful life experiences are pregnancy and childbirth. Once a woman has a child, the focus of her life begins to shift entirely to the child. What she fears most is problems with the child. Especially during pregnancy and confinement, she must pay special attention to her eating habits. She must not touch things that she cannot eat, and must not do things that she cannot do. Resuming sexual life after childbirth is especially important.

So how long after childbirth can you resume sexual intercourse? What are the dangers of having sex before a woman's body has fully recovered? What should you pay attention to when having sex after childbirth? Many families who have just had a baby will pay attention to these issues.

1. Having sex too early

Mothers who gave birth naturally should not have sex earlier than 2 months after giving birth, and mothers who gave birth by caesarean section should not have sex earlier than 3 months after giving birth. This is because caesarean section causes surgical wounds, and the wounds naturally take more time to heal. Sexual intercourse must be done after the caesarean section wounds have healed.

2. Sexual intercourse is too intense

Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, the movements during postpartum AA should not be too intense. If the movement is too violent, it may cause vaginal laceration and bleeding in your wife. Mothers who have had a cesarean section should be aware that the wound and the area around the wound may feel numb for several months or even a year after the cesarean section. If the numb area feels uncomfortable when touched, the wife should tell her husband to reduce touching this area. However, feeling in this area will gradually return over time.

3. Not taking contraceptive measures

Contraception after childbirth is more important than ever, so you must take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. If an unexpected pregnancy occurs during the postpartum recovery period, the damage to the uterus will be very serious because the uterus has not yet fully repaired. There are six types of contraceptive methods: safe period contraception, condoms, contraceptive rings, withdrawal, birth control pills and sterilization. If you are a breastfeeding mother, do not choose drugs for contraception as it will affect the baby.

Through the introduction of the above content, we can understand that it is not suitable for women to have sex during the postpartum recovery period. Even if they want to resume their sexual life, they have to wait until 2 months later. Not only should you be careful not to resume sexual life too early, but also not to be too strenuous. More importantly, you should not cause an unexpected pregnancy and contraception must be done well.
