A member asked:
Can anything happen if you have sex a week and one day after delivery ??
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Increased infection: There is an increased risk for infections if you have intercourse in the immediate time frame after delivery. There cervix typically is not fully closed and this can allow more bacteria into the uterus and upper genital tract. It's better to wait 6 weeks following delivery after your physician has examined you and given you the go ahead.
