Postpartum care: Follow your doctor's instructions. Your incision should be well healed by now. Vaginal bleeding may occur even after 6 weeks after delivery.

Definitely: It's been 6 weeks. Studies show that most women, regardless of mode of delivery, have re-initiated relations with husbands by 4 weeks. Most docs say 6 weeks, but you're definitely in the clear. If you have pain, make sure to tell your partner, go slow and and communicate. See your doctor if you're concerned, but likely you're okay.
