“General rule is six weeks or until after your provider has cleared you,” Dr. Swift tells PEOPLE of the timeline she would normally recommend, saying that “appliesto both cesarean [section]and vaginal [delivery].”
“Mainly because where your placenta was is a big raw spot (think big wound), which can be a great place for an infection,” she adds. “That, combined with a dilated cervix, is a perfect setup for an infection.”
“Also, with a vaginal delivery, there is some time for a laceration to heal,” explains Dr. Swift. “Postpartum sex should not be rushed! Breastfeeding also drops your estrogen, meaning a dry and non-stretchy vagina, so it’s often not super comfortable.”
