Sex after pregnancy – how can I tell him I’m not ready?

Submitted by Auntyji on Tue, 04/02/2013 - 14:54
Q: Dear Auntyji, I just delivered a baby boy last week and my husband already wants to have sex. I am not ready but how should I stop him? Sruthi, Nagpur

Lubricant

Finally, bear in mind that many women experience vaginal dryness and discomfort even after they feel ready for intercourse. But I would say don’t worry too much about it, use a good lubricant and sex will feel more comfortable. Choose a water-based one (like K-Y Jelly, Astroglide or Jeance, available from pharmacies), not petroleum jelly or oil.

It might sound like a distant dream now, but with God’s grace you and your husband will be able to have a fun sex life very soon!
