It was probably 7 or 8 weeks after I gave birth. I had a second degree tear that didn't heal right, so sex for me wasn't very pleasant for a while.

If you feel like having sex, just make sure he uses a condom, and remember to take it slow! Wink

Remember, you can get pregnant at any time after the baby is born. Even if you are breast feeding, you still need to use birth control.

Have sex when you are ready. Good luck.
