Depends.: This depends on how the delivery went for you, and whether there were complications or not. You should have been instructed at discharge about how soon you could return to normal activities, including intercourse, If not, call your doc and find out.

The general rule is: Wait longer in this case. The recommendation to have a great chance at a successful family life and to raise healthy children is to be married, settled down, and have jobs that offer health insurance. If a woman is not married, and there is a boyfriend, the next recommendation would be marriage. Sex can come later, after getting on good birth control, unless the new couple is wanting another baby.
