Sex after childbirth isn’t just about readiness—it’s about recovery, reassurance, and reconnection.
1. Physical Healing Takes Time: Whether your partner delivered vaginally or by C-section, tissues need time to heal. Follow your doctor’s recommendation—often around 6 weeks—but every journey is unique.
2. Emotional Recovery: Your partner might be feeling tired, touched-out, or emotionally distant from intimacy. Let love lead the way: cuddles, kind words, and patience mean everything.
3. Reignite Slowly: Start with emotional closeness—gentle massages, soft conversations, and shared humor. When the time is right, let comfort and consent guide you both.
Borneo Mother & Child Hospital supports couples in rediscovering their connection post-birth. Our family counselors offer tools to navigate this phase together.
