Generally speaking, you can have intercourse 42 days after a normal delivery, but it depends on the recovery of the mother.
After a normal delivery, the organs of the mother’s body will return to normal in about 42 days, including the regeneration of the uterine lining, cervical recovery, perineal wound healing, etc. At this time, the evil discharge has been drained, and it is possible to resume coitus. However, in case of abnormalities such as complicated perineal lacerations, puerperal infections, perineal wound infections, etc., coitus can be resumed only after a good recovery.
After a normal delivery, you should pay attention to proper rest, increase diet and nutrition to promote physical recovery, keep the vulva clean and dry, encourage breastfeeding, and observe the vaginal bleeding.
For those who resume sexual intercourse 42 days after delivery, although menstruation may not have returned yet, contraceptive measures are still needed to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
