When can you have intercourse

Minimum 6 weeks

6 weeks or after! you’re asking for an infection any sooner tbh

At 3 weeks postpartum I’d personally wait a little longer, especially if you’re still bleeding, sore, have stitches/tearing or had a C-section 🤍 A lot of people wait until around the 6-week check, but the main thing is that you’ve healed and actually feel ready. Also you can get pregnant again from around 3 weeks postpartum, even before your first period, so contraception matters too 😭 If sex causes pain or fresh/heavy bleeding, stop and get checked.

I started having intercourse at 4 weeks postpartum but I went to get the clear from my doctor. It was a vaginal birth with no tears at all and no bleeding at 4 weeks postpartum but I would recommend either waiting the 6 weeks or going to see your provider first.
