Advantages: resume normal man/woman activity, shows physical love to partner

Disadvantages: maybe painful, emotional

I think sex after childbirth should happen when both the father and mother are ready. Sometimes that takes a few short weeks and sometimes it takes months for one of the partners to be physically and emotionall ready.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

I just had my second child 6 weeks and 3 days ago. My husband is more than ready to resume sex. I would like to wait longer because i don't want to get pregnant again. Birth control or not I'm not taking any chances right now. After the birth of my first child, I was ready to have sex in about 2 weeks. I wasn't as tired that time because I didn't have but one sleeping newborn to deal with everyday. Now I have a beautiful 3-year old and a newborn and I'm tired all the time.

MEDICAL ADVICE

My ob/gyn told me she recommended waiting until at least 6 weeks after the birth. She says that rushing into it can not only make sex painful, it can also cause emotional problems between you and your partner. She also says if you think you're ready then you probably are. Don't rush into something because thats what someone else wants.

DO YOU WANT TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN?

If your answer to this question is no just remember that nothing is a sure thing except abstinence. Alot of women and men too want to wait to have sex because of the fear that their partner will get pregnant. The advantage our generation has is the variety and number of contraceptives.Examples of contraceptives that have large number of success rated are permanent sterilization(vasectomy and tubal ligation), condoms when used correctly, the pill, IUD, norplant, and the depo shot.

In closing, just remember this: If you feel ready you probably are, if not don't let anyone pressure you into doing sometning your body and/or mind might not be ready for.
