Depends: Safety depends if you had a tear during delivery that required stitches. Also you may ovulate and get pregnant again.

Early PP sex: If using protection, the risk of pregnancy is greatly improved. I would not recommend it in general. Your cervix is still recovering so their is increased risk for infection in the uterus from intercourse. Also if you had any lacerations, the sutures could be torn which can lead to pain bleeding and improper healing of the vagina. Remember, there are alternative ways to please one another.
