Some Falacy You Might Have Believed About Sex After Childbirth

Most times people pass wrong information about When the ideal time is for sex after childbirth, in this topic we would look at some key areas of sex after childbirth and the myths doctors or local people have once told you.



........... Consider these below points.........

1. The 6-Week Wait – This common myth can
actually only be determined a myth on an
individual case by case basis. While many
women do not wait the recommended six
week period between giving birth and
engaging in sexual intercourse for the first
time without any consequences – other
women do experience discomfort, tearing
and slight bleeding. The six week concept
was determined because it is the period of
time that the uterus is said to need in order
to return to its normal size and weight. It is
also the time that the postnatal
appointment with your doctor is scheduled.
It is usually during this visit that the
woman is examined and reassured that she
can resume her normal sex life.
2. Your Vagina Will Never Be The Same – As
amusing as the gesture may be, this is in
fact a huge myth. Your vagina is a muscle
and like any muscle that tears from an
intense workout – it returns to normal, not
to mention stronger, over time. Of course it
will take longer than the 6 week period to
develop its usual tightness and form, many
women practice daily pelvic exercises and
kegels to speed up the process!
3. Detached from Reality – Many women
report that during their pregnancy, they
begin to develop the feeling that their
partner is no longer attracted to them and
that they are less attractive to themselves,
not to mention to rest of the world. While
this is normal and can commonly happen, it
is a myth that it is guaranteed to happen,
especially regarding your sex life. Since
many couples prefer to refrain from sex
during the pregnancy term, by the time you
deliver and allow the grace period for
recovery to pass – it is nearly one year
since you were intimate with your spouse –
tune yourself into the moment and let go of
your emotions and watch the flames light
up the room!
4. No More Orgasms! – Wrong again! While it
is common for women to lose the ability to
orgasm for a period after childbirth, this is
solely due to her pelvic muscles being
weakened from the birth. As time passes,
the muscles will strengthen and returned to
a normal tone and definition, hence the
return of their ability to orgasm! It is quite
common for women to feel depressed or
ashamed of the changes their body is
adjusting to after they deliver their child,
however, as they body returns to normal
function, these emotions will cease as well.
Scheduling is Everything
You’ll soon notice that it will take some time to
adjust to your new life with a child or with an
additional child in many cases for both you and
your spouse. Many first-time parents become
overwhelmed with their newfound responsibilities
and unpredictable schedules that they neglect
their intimacy needs. The best way to ensure this
is not the case for you is to openly communicate
your needs, consider each other’s schedules and
utilize the intimate moments to be just that –
intimate and alone!
