The physiological changes of the postpartum mother are great, especially the changes and trauma of the reproductive organs during pregnancy and childbirth, and it will take some time to return to normal. Only after the mother has fully recovered can the husband and wife share the same room. Otherwise, it will cause vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis and other diseases.

Postpartum recovery period

Normal delivery of women, the uterine body will return to normal size in about 42 days after delivery. The endometrium will heal completely in about 56 days. However, vaginal mucosa can not completely return to normal until ovarian function returns to normal, that is, after menstrual cramps. Therefore, sexual intercourse must be forbidden within 56 days after delivery. It is the most civilized and sensible way to have sex after menstruation is restored. For caesarean section, it is best to have sex after 3 months.

Lochiorrhea situation

Generally, lochia just after delivery to two or three days after delivery turns red due to internal injury and bleeding of uterus, and turns brown around 1 week. By the second week or so, it became almost the same as ordinary mucus. By 1 month, it was still yellow mucus. It means that it has not completely returned to normal. Therefore, from the time when leucorrhea becomes yellow, physiological function is a safe signal to suggest whether we can share a room.
