Normally 6 wks: By most guidelines, most advocate no vaginal penetration for the first 6 weeks. This depends however on the presence/absence of stitches or other healing of the area. Reasons to postpone sex include:reduce chance of uterine infection, prevent vaginal tears from reopening and simply to avoid discomfort. Some women without caginal soreness or tears feel ready for sex before that. Min 4 wks.
