Sex After Pregnancy 

Should Lovemaking After The Baby Be Passionate?

You belong to the wrong group if you are amongst those that think that lovemaking after the baby arrives is not as passionate as it was before. True and healthy sex is always passionate regardless of the fact whether it is done before or after the arrival of the baby. Of course, one needs to exercise caution when opting in for sex after pregnancy. It has been months since both of you enjoyed sex properly. According to the doctor, sex should be avoided during the later stages of pregnancy since it might damage the fetus and you, believing in the doctor had avoided sex when your wife was six months pregnant.

Now that she has given birth to a bonny baby, and has returned home, should you jump into bed with her immediately and have a passionate bout of sex?  Remember the doctor who had recommended not going in for sex during the later stages of pregnancy? If you ask their opinion, they will recommend you to wait for 5 to 6 weeks before you resume intercourse again. Even though you feel like doing it just now, you should not. The female body undergoes lots of stress and sheer exhaustion during pregnancy and this takes some time to heal.

You might be in the mood for sex but it will be harmful for you. Whether you have had a vaginal delivery or a C-section one, there are bound to be abrasions on and near the vaginal area and these abrasions take time to heal. If you opt in for sexual intercourse after pregnancy, you risk additional damage to the vagina. You should give time for the postpartum bleeding to cease, the tears to heal, and the cervix to close. During those days, if you cannot resist having sex and have an urge for it, who not opt in for foreplay?

Just fondle your partner’s private parts. Though this might not be as satisfying as real sex, it will cause the urge to subside. Just think of the immense joys and funs ahead of you and how you can damage them by being impatient. This will assist you to avoid sex after childbirth. The physical and mental toughness of a woman also plays a large part in determining how soon she can resume sexual activities. There are many women who take just a few weeks to resume sex after pregnancy and then there are others who take months.

During these exciting times, when a woman is about to enjoy proper intercourse after pregnancy, they tend to throw caution to the winds. They never bother to take precautions that will help them to become pregnant again. There are many types of pills and creams available in the market. Use them to avoid getting pregnant again. You can also suggest your partner to wear a condom. It makes sense to apply some lubricating gels on the vagina when going in for sex after pregnancy since the vagina tends to remain tender and dry at such times… more so if you are breast feeding your newborn.
