Sex after pregnancy

Some young parents are convinced that in the first year after childbirth there can not be any sex and pleasure, while others share pleasant discoveries, feeling themselves in the embrace of the newly-made pope "like the first time." Sex after pregnancy is an intricate topic to think about.

When it is possible?

Other lucky mothers who are still lying in the maternity home ask themselves and "friends in misfortune" when, finally, you can have sex after pregnancy. We answer: after natural childbirth for the first 4 - 6 weeks veto of gynecologists is imposed, since wounds on the uterus and from the rupture of the placenta must heal, while the uterus and vagina themselves will decrease to prenatal dimensions.

After interrupting pregnancy, you can practice sex after a month. And if we are talking about sex after an ectopic pregnancy, the terms can be prolonged and up to 8 weeks, and even more - on the instructions of a doctor.

Firstly, many couples fail to survive and 4 weeks after natural delivery. From this, no one has died yet, but because of the special sensitivity of the sexual organs of women, one can pick up an infection or earn inflammation of the uterus.

Secondly, even when the month passed, two after the birth, women are afraid, if everything is already healed. This is a natural fear of pain, after what the fair sex experienced during childbirth, such a pavor is forgivable. In order not to waste time in vain and not to torment yourself with guesses, you just have to turn to the gynecologist to check that your genitals have recovered.

When you do not want to?

Sex after pregnancy is a scrupulous topic not only because of the observance of the terms after the birth, but because the desire of the partners can, as dull, and increase dramatically.

In women, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation cause a hormonal splash. In some cases, this leads to unprecedented excitability and new, previously unknown sensations.

In other cases, caring for the baby, the same hormonal surge, postpartum depression, lead to what a woman simply does not want, she does not have it before. And this can also be explained evolutionarily: when a female feeds a baby, she does not experience sexual attraction, because in nature, the sexual act invariably leads to conception, and the new baby, until this one has not yet grown stronger, does not need anything.

In this case, you need to wait for a pause. Get used to a new role and try to open up in it in a new way, as never as a woman. After a while you will be able to leave the child with the nanny or grandmother for a short while and stay with her husband alone, though for the time forgetting about the household chores, giving himself up completely to each other.
