Things to note during sex during normal delivery

Women need a certain period of adjustment after giving birth. In order to make the life between husband and wife more harmonious, couples will engage in sexual activities. If this kind of communication between couples is achieved, many issues need to be paid attention to after a normal birth. Once there is a problem, it is likely to affect the wife's health, cause financial losses, and even cause misfortune to the family. Below we will introduce to you some precautions for sexual intercourse during natural childbirth.

1. Do not have sex too early

Mothers who gave birth naturally should not have sex earlier than 2 months after giving birth, and mothers who gave birth by caesarean section should not have sex earlier than 3 months after giving birth. This is because caesarean section causes surgical wounds, and the wounds naturally take more time to heal. Sexual intercourse must be done after the caesarean section wounds have healed.

2. Do not have sex too intensely

Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, the movements during postpartum AA should not be too intense. If the movement is too violent, it may cause vaginal laceration and bleeding in your wife. Mothers who have had a cesarean section should be aware that the wound and the area around the wound may feel numb for several months or even a year after the cesarean section. If the numb area feels uncomfortable when touched, the wife should tell her husband to reduce touching this area. However, feeling in this area will gradually return over time.

3. Do a good job of contraception

Contraception after childbirth is more important than ever, so you must take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. If an unexpected pregnancy occurs during the postpartum recovery period, the damage to the uterus will be very serious because the uterus has not yet fully repaired. There are six types of contraceptive methods: safe period contraception, condoms, contraceptive rings, withdrawal, birth control pills and sterilization. If you are a breastfeeding mother, do not choose drugs for contraception as it will affect the baby.

4. Sexual intercourse should be moderate

When resuming sexual intercourse after childbirth, do not overdo it and be gentle. The ovarian function of women who breastfeed after childbirth is suppressed and the follicles in the ovaries are dormant. It is impossible for such dormant, undeveloped follicles to produce estrogen. The vaginal mucosa that lacks the effect of estrogen is not only thinner, but also more fragile and lacks elasticity.

5. In addition, the mother should take the opportunity to replenish nutrition and water, try to eat high-calorie foods, such as porridge, milk, eggs, etc., and drink more soup to ensure that there is enough energy to bear the heavy task of childbirth.

6. Pay attention to genital hygiene during intercourse, especially gay men should pay more attention to it, because the vagina of women who have just given birth is more susceptible to infection, so it is recommended to pay attention to cleaning after intercourse. Don't make too big a move the first time. Even if you don't have your period, you can still get pregnant, so you need to use contraception.

7. Adopt the best position: Do not adopt a specific position unless your doctor deems it necessary. As long as it makes you feel less pain, it is the best position.

Through the introduction in the above article, we understand the precautions for sexual intercourse during normal delivery. I hope these precautions can be helpful to couples. Maintaining a harmonious life will promote relationships without affecting your physical health. Make your life more dynamic and full of possibilities.
