Need postpartum appt: We usually recommend that you wait until your postpartum visit in 4 to 6 weeks, so your doctor can make sure you are back to normal. That way you can also discuss birth control options. Hope this helps!

It depends: I assume you at least had a small tear - no damage would likely be done. On the other hand, if you had a more severe cut or tear it could re-open a bit. If you are in pain see your doctor.

Cook him some dinner: Do not give in to temptation and have sex before at least 6-12 weeks postpartum! in fact, it is recommended that you not get pregnant until your child's first birthday. Find alternative activities of mutual pleasure that do not involve intercourse!

Supposed to weight 5: -6 weeks so the cervix is closed and the uterus has involuted to normal size, sometimes depending on what happened at delivery u need to wait longer, but ask your OB and go by what they tell you.
