Even for weeks, you know, you’ve still got afterbirth in, in your stomach, in your urine, blood coming out.”

“I would say probably an absence of sex for about, say, six to, to eight weeks would be normal because it’s a big thing, having a baby.”

i was uncomfortable after having sex after my child was born. my ex didnt make it easier as he was pressuring me to have sex again. think it may have been different if i had someone supportive. and since our break up i havent rushed into anything as i still feel uncomfortable.”

Afterbirth is actually the placenta which is delivered within hours of the birth. Therefore there is no afterbirth 'coming out' weeks later. It is true that women beeld for up to several weeks after giving birth. Sex after child birth can be anytime that a woman feels comfortable and her partner is willing.”
