Sex is maybe not the first thing on your mind after giving birth , nor is it going to be for the immediate ensuing hours and days ahead but at some point it will come back onto the menu (so to speak) and for all you new mothers and fathers (and possible parents) out there heres a few tips from wormy for that first post-baby bonk!

TAKE YOUR TIME !!
After having had a baby come out there in the not too distant past,there is going to be a lot of tenderness so the first time you make love,take it slow and steady.

The episiotomy site might not have had the chance to heal over completely and even if your stitches have long since healed,it can take literally months for the soreness in the area to clear up.

The slower you take it the better really and if you do get a bit carried away guys and you hear some screaming its likely to be screams of pain not ecstasy!!

EXPERIMENTING!!!
Even if your a strict missionary person,you must experiment because that position is the worst for creating pressure on the tender area.Try experimenting in a variety of positions which make intercourse as comfortable as possible,you never know you might find some positions that you like and carry on doing it like that long after 'sore mummy' has healed up,besides your gonna have a hell of a lot of fun trying!!
Tried and trusted post-baby positions are the woman on top (yee-ha) and side-lying.

LUBRICATION
Lubrication might not normally be a problem but after a birth this could soon become so -why you might ask!!
Well its because the female body is producing different hormones and can dry up the 'vaginal secretions' which in turn makes things quite dry and uncomfortable because of the friction when your making love.

If this does happen to you you can get water-soluble lubricants at the Chemist.In severe cases of dryness you can get prescription estrogen creams which should alleviate the problem.

EXPECT
SOME CHANGES!!
Ladies im sure you know but i will inform you anyway,if its been a vaginal delivery your not gonna be as tight!!In fact your going to be feeling very loose for a while.Over time the vaginal muscles will tone it down a bit but it will never be 'as it was'.

If your very worried about this you can help by doing regular kegel exercises.

Guys its going to feel different to you too but you will adjust quite quickly so no comments please as you might find yourselves in hot water!!


LEAKY BOOBS!!
Its not uncommon at all for breasts to start leaking during intercourse even if you have just fed the little one just before you started so dont be alarmed.
Certain gentlemen might even help them on their way but i wont go into that!
Another problem going back to the missionary position is that weight on top of the breasts can very easily start the breasts 'leaking'.
The best way to solve this problem is to feed the baby just before but as ive already said not always,either way at least the baby will be asleep so as not interrupting the big event (unless your loud in which case forget the whole of the last sentence and arrange a grandparent to have him/her!!)

PRECAUTIONS
If your not aware females nearly always ovulate before their first period after a pregnancy so unless you want baby number 2 on its way very quickly i suggest you take precautions!

SUMMARY
I hope all my tips have been of help and havnt put you off having a baby for life but theres nothing to get worked up about.Post-baby rendezvous's will get more comfortable as you go along and your sex life will be up and running again before you know it.

One last tip and its for the guys,females need your love and support more than ever at this time so if things are different or problems are rising wherever you turn dont throw your rattle out of the pram (sorry i had to throw one baby pun in there) be patient
and loyal and then you can start to enjoy this incredibly rewarding part of your lives.
