With my first it was 8 weeks due to my husband being deployed. This time we resumed our sex life at 4 weeks. We tried at 3 weeks but it was uncomfortable to the point of being painful. Having kids hasn't changed our sex life that much yes I'm tired having a newborn but I'm not going to neglect my relationship with my husband. And sex is a great stress reliever lol

I waited 5 weeks because I had stitches and that's when they dissolved.
It's hard to find time to have sex...not to mention having the energy to actually do it.
