Whether you give birth vaginally or by C-section, your body will need time to heal. Many health care providers recommend waiting four to six weeks before having sex. This allows time for the cervix to close, postpartum bleeding to stop, and any tears or repaired lacerations to heal.
If sex continues to be painful, consult your health care provider. A low dose estrogen cream applied to the vagina may help, but can also interfere with your milk production if you're breast-feeding. Ask your health care provider to help you weigh the pros and cons.
