The six-week checkup is usually when women are given the go-ahead to get it on, but many women feel like six months might work better. If you're ready, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, use birth control - despite popular opinion, breastfeeding is not a failsafe measure to take when preventing another pregnancy. You may be worried about pain, particularly if you tore or had an episiotomy. In this case, it probably is best to wait until you get the green light from the doctor - you wouldn't want to reinjure yourself. It's best to go slowly, and if lubrication is a problem, then add some. It's normal for hormonal fluctuations to affect natural lubrication. Take things slowly and remember that having sex isn't the only way for you and your partner to reconnect post baby. - << Prev
