6 weeks. It will be uncomfy so take it slow the first 2-3 times but after that it will be fine. I waited to 4 weeks because I felt normal down there. But usually after your 6 week checkup

Usually you're suppose to wait until your 6 week check up. When the doc gives the go ahead. For me it was longer because my stitches were still there. It's normal to be scared/nervous. Just ask him to give you time. Congrats on your little one :)

I believe it's 6-8 weeks but I could be wrong. It's completely normal for you to have a low sex drive at this point. You just put your body through a roller coaster of emotions and events. Get your guys' intimacy back before jumping back into intercourse, it will make it more enjoyable for the both of you (:
