JAKARTA - Sex may be the last thing on a woman's mind after she gives birth. But in reality there are no rules about when to start sexual activity after pregnancy.
The NHS UK National Health Service says women may experience pain. So, sex is not something they have to rush into.
Based on various scientific studies, although the recovery of each person is different, most doctors recommend a distance of intercourse after giving birth for about 6 weeks so that the area of the female sex organs heals from the trauma of giving birth.
But it didn't take long for Ashley Graham and husband Justin Ervin, 31, to continue their bedroom antics after Isaac was born in January.
The model says they have found creative ways to keep romance alive while being new parents to their son.
"We'll take walks, go out to dinner, drive," Ashley told People.
Ashley said they - celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary in August - set the bedroom time.
"When you have newborn babies, they usually sleep for a few hours," continued Ashley.
"So we'll put it in the basket on the other side of the room and leave it like that."
The 32-year-old also said many women asked her if she was afraid to have sex after her pregnancy or not.
He replied: "Not at all.
"And the reason I didn't do it was because I knew my intimate organs were made to have a baby and to push them out, and I knew it would be right back [back to normal].
"Everything's still there, everything feels the same, the furniture may have been rearranged."
