Your life will change when you have a baby.Your schedule will change and you will definitely feel different.It's possible that you're anxious about having sex again.That's normalYou can have a good sex life after having a baby.Take care of yourself is the most important thing to remember.
Step 1: Take a while to heal.
Your body gives birth a lot.It's normal to take some time to recover.You should not have sex for at least 4 weeks after you give birth.It is not safe to have sex less than 2 weeks after having a baby.You are at risk of contracting an infection if your body is still bleeding.2 weeks is considered safer than 4 weeks.If you have had stitches, you will probably be told to wait until your 6 week checkup.You might have stitches if you have a perineal tear, a c-section, or an episiotomy.Extra healing time is required for these procedures.
Step 2: Don't hesitate to speak with your doctor.
Don't have sex until your doctor clears you for it.It is possible that your healthcare provider will require you to come in for a check-up.This will help your body recover.Ask your doctor questions during your follow-up appointment.You can ask about your recovery, but you can also talk about sex after a baby is born.A list of questions should be prepared.You will be more likely to remember if you asked about everything that has been on your mind."Are there any precautions that I need to take when having sex for the first time?" is a question you can ask.How can I make it less uncomfortable?
Step 3: Follow the directions.
Maybe you've been waiting for the all-clear from your doctor to have sex again.It can be disappointing if he advises you to wait a while longer after your checkup.You need to follow any medical instructions you receive after having a baby.You may need more time to heal if you had a c-section.If you don't wait, there is a chance of a setback and further injury to your body.It's great if your doctor says you're ready for sex.Listen to any other advice.If you are told to take it slowly, do so.Make sure to get some if it's recommended.
Step 4: To listen to your body.
You are the only one who knows if you are ready to have sex again.You may feel like you need more time if your doctor says you are ready.Women are sensitive for several months after giving birth.If you are breastfeeding, vaginal dryness is a problem.For the duration of breastfeeding, you may experience this.There are lubrications that can help.It's perfectly fine to hold off on sex if you feel uncomfortable.Don't forget to pay attention to your body's needs.You need to wait longer if the thought of having sex makes you anxious.That's fine.
Step 5: Rest up, please.
When you have a baby, your life revolves around feeding, changing, and caring for that baby.The parents may be suffering from a lack of sleep.Your sex drive is negatively impacted if you don't get enough rest.You need to get more sleep before you feel like having sex again.This is important for your sex life.There is a correlation between sex and sleep.Sex can help you sleep better.If you feel capable of having sex, try it.The few hours of sleep you get will make you feel better.You will feel more motivated to have sex once you start getting more sleep.It's a cycle.Go to bed a half hour earlier.This is a time for sex.
Step 6: Accept the new things.
You are going through a lot of changes when you have a baby.These changes are not just physical.Pay attention to the emotional shifts that are occurring.When you are reestablishing a sexual connection with your partner, emotional well-being is important.Accept the changes that have happened.You may notice that your breasts look different.That is normal.Don't let your feelings about your body affect your desire to have sex.Your body will feel different to your partner after you give birth, that's a common worry.It's possible.Sex will be different for both of you if you accept that your body has changed.That doesn't mean that it's not good.
Step 7: Clarify your hormones.
Your hormones are affected by being pregnant and giving birth.Your hormones won't return to normal until you start menstruating again.This doesn't happen until after 12 weeks after giving birth for many women.Sex drive can vary when hormones are out of balance.Many women will feel ready to have sex, but not all of them.It's fine if you feel either way.It's normal for your feelings to shift from one day to the next.You will spend most of the day holding and caring for your baby.You may need some personal space when you take a break.It's okay if you don't feel touched.
Step 8: Don't be hurried.
Don't think about what other people do.Sex is between you and your partner.When it's right for you, you should resume having sex.Having a good sex life after a baby is normal.Being patient with yourself and your partner is the best thing you can do.After giving birth, some couples begin having sex.Others like to wait 6 months.Give yourself time to be intimate.You won't feel aroused if you feel nervous about sex.You should wait to try until you feel ready.Take it slowly.Take the process slowly once you feel ready for sex.This can make you feel less uncomfortable.
Step 9: Practice self- care.
It's hard to feel sexy when you're exhausted.Taking care of yourself can make a big difference in your sex life.Take a little bit of care of yourself.You will be ready for sex with your partner.Allow your family and friends to help.It's normal for a new parent to feel the need to be with their baby 24/7.Take the offer from a trusted family member or friend.It's time for you and your partner to take a break.Treat yourself and your partner to a relaxing activity.It might be a good idea to go out for a meal.Spending time together as a couple can help you get to know each other better.Both of you can use this to put more focus on your sex life.
Step 10: Gain your confidence.
It can be hard to feel sexy after giving birth.It's possible you're stressed about losing the baby weight.Maybe you're not comfortable looking at your stretch marks.It can be hard to feel interested in sex if you don't feel confident in your body.It's important to regain your confidence in your body in order to have great sex again.It is no small accomplishment to give birth.Start exercising if you feel like it.You can go for a walk or attend a yoga class.It is possible to increase your confidence levels by exercising.Before you resume your workouts, make sure to clear it with your doctor.You should try to clean yourself up.It's easy to forget to put on clothes when you're a new parent.Put on an outfit that makes you feel good after you dry your hair.It can make you feel better about yourself and ready for sex.
Step 11: Discuss things in an honest way.
To have great sex, you need to be open and honest with your partner.After you have a baby, this is even more true.Both of you have experienced a change in your life.There is a need for a discussion about how your sex life will change.Share your feelings.Talk to your partner if you're nervous about having sex.Say something like, "I'm still experiencing a lot of pain."I'm a little nervous about having sex.You may have your own concerns if your partner is the one who gave birth.Say, "I'm worried that I will hurt you or cause you pain during sex."Listen to one another's emotions.You can connect and trust by talking to each other.
Step 12: Don't be hostile.
It's okay if you aren't ready to have intercourse yet.There are other ways to reestablish an intimate relationship.Discuss ways that appeal to you both.They should give each other massages.Get some scented oils and help each other relax.You'll feel connected.Take a shower.The steam and scented soaps will help you have sex.It's possible to try a bubble bath.Touch each other.During a movie, kiss each other multiple times, and hold hands.
Step 13: Try new things.
It's possible that you won't be able to resume your normal sexual preferences immediately.Women who have recently given birth can feel uncomfortable in a missionary position.Try different positions so that you can both enjoy sex.The woman can control the pace and pressure during sex.A woman is on top.The female can set the tone during sex.Side-by-side makes sex feel good to both of you.This position causes penetration to be less deep, which can be helpful for someone who is healing.Talk during sex.Let your partner know what feels good and what doesn't.
Step 14: Let the romance come back to you.
There is a lot of life after having a baby.You are probably both sleeping less and stressed out.Despite the challenges, try to make time for your relationship.Go on a date.Ask a family member to come with you.It's a good idea to take some time for an adult dinner and movie.You can have a date night at home if you can't find a sitter.When the baby is sleeping, take some time to cuddle on the couch and watch tv.Take a break from parenting to focus on your relationship.You should talk about something other than the baby on your dates.Talk to each other about their interests.It's natural to focus on sleep schedules and breastfeeding when you're a new parent, but don't forget that you and your partner are attracted to each other for other reasons.
Step 15: It is a priority to have sex.
A healthy relationship includes sex.Sometimes it's necessary for you to put in some extra effort to devote enough time to that part of your relationship.Try to schedule it if you find that you aren't having enough sex.You can make a sex date.The same way that you plan doctors appointments and pay the bills, you can plan this into your schedule.This isn't completely romantic, but it is worth it.You won't need to plan it in advance once you start having sex again.It doesn't mean that your lovemaking has to be routine.Try some new moves.Being flexible is okay.You will have to work around your baby's schedule.Even if it has to be pushed back or moved forward, make sure to keep your sex date.Don't bother with the housework for once.
Step 16: It's helpful to be supportive.
Being emotionally supportive of one another is the most important thing you can do to encourage great sex.It is an amazing experience to be a new parent.Make sure that you and your partner help each other out.Encourage each other.Say, "You're a great mom."That makes me love you more.You will find that having children deepens your connection.Which is a great way to improve your sex life.
