Sex After Baby

If sex is painful

For moms who are still too sore for intercourse, make love without it. He can give you an orgasm with oral sex, fingers, or love toys – and you can do the same for him. You will still reestablish your lover status and reassure each other that there is room in your hearts for each other, and that your baby shares that heart space joyfully.

If you find you're still a bit "dry" or tender the first time you have intercourse, try using a lubricated condom or personal lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly. As for position, woman on top may be more comfortable and will also help you feel more in control in case you decide tonight's not the night after all.
