The most frequent female doubts after childbirth part 2

Life as a couple

How long after childbirth is it possible to have sex?

About 30 and 35 days. In this sense, the popular wisdom about the ‘quarantine’ is true.

Is it normal for sexual appetite to decrease during breastfeeding?

It often happens for different reasons:

The woman is adapting to motherhood.

There is less time for intimacy.

When you are breastfeeding, your breasts are more sensitive and hurt.

The lactation hormone, prolactin, produces greater dryness in the genital area, that is, there is less lubrication.

Is it possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding?

With the increase in the hormone prolactin, an anovulatory effect occurs, that is, the woman stops ovulating, so the possibility of getting pregnant is very low, as long as you are exclusively breastfeeding. However, to avoid the risk, contraception is recommended as an additional measure.

Can contraceptives be taken while breastfeeding?

Yes, but special contraceptives should be used for breastfeeding periods, because the traditional ones – which are the most common on the market – inhibit breastfeeding.

It is essential that every woman discuss with her gynecologist the best contraceptive measure at the time of final discharge, which occurs approximately one month after birth.
