I work in a hospital and the nurses catch couples having sex immediately after childbirth. I personally didnt feel like having sex that soon. The OB/GYN suggested to wait until the first follow up before having intercourse. For vaginal deliveries that is usually 4 weeks and for ceaserian deliveries 6 weeks. After your visit your doctor should talk to ypu about birth control or contraceptives...if he/she doesn't then ask them if you are not ready to get pregnant again this soon. I know 4-6 weeks sounds like a long time but be creative and try other practices until your body is ready for CONTACT because this is one of the most likely times to get pregnant again
