Part 3: Postpardum Sex (or lack of)

There's really not much to say here other than... just don't do it.

Outside of not being 'allowed' to by your doctor, it's just best. Take the time to recover. Personally, I had NO interest. I remember getting on a chat board one day and seeing one mother say she had just had her child a matter of weeks ago and was ready to get back into it. I was amazed. I just could not imagine.

For us, Jude was in our room for the first couple of months and so it would have been weird. There's so much adjusting going on anyway...

As you will read in a lot of places, really take this time to find alone time for you and your husband/significant other and cherish those moments that you get alone without the baby (as it won't happen much). Cuddle, talk and just connect with one another...
