sex after pregnancy

[bigdavie106]

what's the best way to bring back sex after a baby? we're both ready and want it, it's just getting over that hurdle. any advice?

I believe that the standard advice from the doctor these days is to wait six weeks. Don't expect it to be the same immediately, though, everyone's experience is different.

Use lots of lube. the woman who gave birth to the baby should be prepared for sex feeling a little different in the vaginal area and also clitoral area. (every lady is different) Go slow, and have fun!

What exactly is 'that hurdle'?

Typically you get back into sex after pregnancy the same way you did before the pregnancy. Your question is just a bit ambiguous.

I'm a survivor of three pregnancies (four if you count my own birth!) so I'm sure I can offer some advice but it all depends on what the problem is.

As a mother of 5, trust me--- wait the 6 weeks, at least! The first time after each birth was somewhat uncomfortable & just felt 'different'. Take your time to get warmed up, relax and things should go smoothly. Have fun!!

I agree that we need more info, namely how long it's been since the SO has given birth.
