Sex after birth

accreditation
Giving birth is a big deal. It's scary, painful, life-changing and it affects every part of a woman's body.

When the topic of sex after birth comes up, it can be a touchy conversation. Some moms are ready to jump back into the swing of things almost straight away, while others want to wait.

We asked our Facebook fans to fess up and share how long after giving birth it took for them to have sex again. While most moms said 6 - 8 weeks, these moms felt differently.

Ready, get set, go?
