Hi. I've just given birth a month ago. A few days ago I started having yellowish discharge which I think is similar as when I'm ovulating. Does this mean it's not safe to have unprotected intercourse with my husband? I haven't had any spotting/my menstrual period haven't started again yet.

i'm almost positive it's 6 weeks until you're supposed to have sex again.

as long as the doctor said its ok go for itthey should have told you about how long to waitBE VERY CAREFUL!!!its very easy to become preg. after just having a babyyour more fertal now then everso you may want him to wrap up just incase unless you really want to have anotherone this soon

I would not recommend unprotected sex at this point especially if you are not breastfeeding. Take an ovulation test to be sure but I would use a condom until you get back into your regular birth control routine, whatever that may be. You are the most fertile right after giving birth so be careful. Good Luck and congrats on the new baby.

It is always unsafe to have unprotected sex. So many people get pregnant right after having a baby because they think they magically can't have a baby. The only time you can't get pregnant is when your pregnant or not having sex. Its likely you would get pregnant now

Your period may be coming soon.It should be ok to start having intercourse again as long as you don't over do it.And,make sure you are protected unless you want to have another baby so soon.

You shouldn't have sex for at least 6 weeks after having a baby. Mainly b/c a vaginal birth is a terribly traumatic event to that area. You can ovulate any time after you've given birth so unless you want back to back babies, make sure you have protection of some sort. Ok, I'm off my soap box. Good luck & be patient.

If you wanna do it then do it lol I did it 4 weeks after I gave birth to my twins and no I didn't have a C-section I had them all natural : ) BUT we used a condom until I got on birth control because you are MOST fertile right after having a baby!!

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
