I had a baby on february 23rd and was wondering if it's safe to use a external vibrator on my clit i did have stitches from tearing?

Probably: It is probably safe. Just don't insert it in the vagina. Nothing in vagina for 6 weeks is the common recommendation, although many people ignore the advice and I don't frequently hear problems.

Sex after delivery: You should be fine at this point in time after delivery. In fact, at 8 weeks you should be ok for anything you want.
