A member asked:

I'm 3 weeks c-section postpartum and i stopped bleeding and i'm feeling normal again. can i have sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ASK your OB: Your OB should have already given u instructions regarding that, the usual time to wait is until after your post partum check so your OB can make suree verything is ok which is at 5-6 weeks after delivery.
