Which Way Did It Come Out?

Along with your emotional state, how demanding a baby you have and many other factors possibly the most significant question in deciding when you plan to have sex again is what type of birth you had.
This will effect how soon it will be for you to be ready to have penetrative sex again.

The two main categories with this are, vaginal and caesarean.

With vaginal it is all about the damage done, no getting away from it you had a trauma down there and as most midwives will tell you it isn't something you want to look at for a while let alone fell sexy about.

Again, if it isn't healing and doesn't feel right then you need to ask for professional help, don't suffer in silence.

With c-section you need to remember you had major surgery and you have to give your body time to heal in the abdominal area. No heavy lifting will include the crunches that go with sex.

Ask you midwife or doctor about time scale if in doubt.
