1. It’s happy
Let’s start with the positives! Firstly you have someone down there, who is not a doctor! So, things are going to be way different. Plus, pushing out a baby does not mean the end of the world. Your vagina is camper happy and is capable of sex even after delivering your bundle of joy. So go for it!
2. It needs time
While we did say, it is capable of sex, sometimes it may take a little longer. Pushing out a tiny human is definitely no easy fleet and if you have stitched down there, penetration can get a little hard. So, give it some time to heal and you will be back to your rocking self.

Hormonal fluctuations can lead to vaginal dryness. During this time, make lubricants your BFF and you will be at it even before you realise!
4. It can hurt
There, we said it! Yes, it can hurt. Vaginal sores, dryness, the episiotomy tear and the stitches can make it all seem like fire down there. But hang on! Don’t quit the game, for it can only make things worse. This too shall pass!
5. It may need something more
From wanting lesser penetration to a different method of orgasm or a longer foreplay, your vagina’s asks can be different post pregnancy. So, listen to it and enjoy a better intimacy with your partner.
