Vaginal Birth

Many women have to have a stitch or two and even though you probably didn’t notice at the time these will have begun to sting as various times. Your Loci, (the god awful period) may last as long as the dissolveable stitches so by the time it stops you’ve healed up nicely and your six week check reveals that all is right with the world.
Episiotomy, stings even thinking about it but this is a challenge for you to …
Shoulder distosia, a 11lb plus baby, breach that they didn’t know about, broken pelvis… the horror stories stay in your mind. If you have been unfortunate enough to be the women who makes all the other women in the postnatal group close their eyes and thank god they aren’t you then you of course have a very real fear of your next sexual encounter.

Which ever way you gave birth you may be wondering what the average time is in getting your groove back on, well the average amount of time most couples wait before having sex after the birth of their first child is… not telling. If you are desperate to know you can find several different answers from the Internet and books and This Morning. Ignore them, what is important is that the time is right for you, both, needless to say that if you are bonking away before your baby is a month old you are well ahead of schedule. Needless to say we spoke to one woman who had sex one week after the birth and it was fine and we know of several more who had to wait longer than six months before they were even allowed to try for medical reasons.
