Probably not: But the reason you are told not to have sex for 6 weeks after having a baby is to prevent infection of your uterus. The sex probably had nothing to do with your bleeding - it's very common 2-3 weeks after having a baby. Discuss this with your obgyn right away.

Avoid it!: Avoid sexual activity for at least 6-8 weeks postpartum and cultivate new interests with your partner - like how to be responsible new parents. If your bleeding is heavy, see your ob/gyn asap.
