What is the reason to have to wait for intercourse after delivering baby? can u get infection if u have sex to soon?

3WEEKS TO 6 WEEKS: Even though most believe that it takes about six weeks for uterus to return to normal size after having a baby.And advice not to have sex for six weeks but some women are emotionally and physically ready for intercourse much earlier. Williams obstetrics a respected textbook states '' following an uncomplicated delivery, sex can be safely resumed in as little as 3weeks or when comfort can be mainta.

Old claim: When you're comfortable and you both feel ready, go ahead. A decent guy will wait a few weeks until the new mother feels the time is right. This advice may have been intended primarily for the guy who is over-eager. I think this is old-fashioned advice that doesn't give women credit for their resilience.
