Is there risks for having sex after having baby before 6weeks is up? ieven if there were no complications
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sex after baby: Sexual intercourse after delivery traditionally is set at 6 weeks after delivery. The reasons are to prevent infection, allow the vagina to heal, and prevent sutures (if placed) to be opened. However, some women feel they are ready for intercourse before that time. Every patient is different. If sutures were placed, best to await the 6 week check up. Adding a lubricant may be helpful also.

Postpartum sex: The risk with having early postpartum sex is that the cervix has not completely changed back to normal and can introduce infection into the uterus, or cause bleeding.
