When to start having sex again after the delivery of your baby? Its been a lil over a month since I gave birth to my son and I dont have much of a sexual drive just like when I was prego and I dont think it will come back soon. I still have to wait for my 6 week clearance anyways since I delivered my son. Anyways i was j/w when ya all started having sex again and if my not wanting it was normal?

For me, it was just under a week.

It's entirely up to you when you have sex again.. just make sure you feel totally ready. Don't rush it when you do try it.. go slow & maybe use lube if necessary.

It's perfectly normal not to want sex right now. Don't worry about it, your sex drive should come back soon enough.

2 weeks for me. But honestly, your doctor will probably say wait 6 weeks. i think its just how you feel and how quick you heal
