Sex after babies?

[beenben]

I didn't read the whole thread but there's no difference after babies. You have to wait six weeks after a vaginal birth to have sex, I think longer after a c-section. The birth process transitions the cervix to allow the baby to pass. After childbirth, the the uterus contracts and it and the cervix goes back to normal.

A study published in the 13 February 2007 issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that women that have planned caesareans had an overall rate of severe morbidity of 27.3 per 1000 deliveries compared to an overall rate of severe morbidity of 9.0 per 1000 planned vaginal deliveries.

what does severe morbidity mean? super dead, as opposed to just plain old dead?

In medicine, epidemiology and actuarial science, the term morbidity can refer to

* the state of being diseased (from Latin morbidus: sick, unhealthy),
* the degree or severity of a disease,
* the prevalence of a disease: the total number of cases in a particular population at a particular point in time,
* the incidence of a disease: the number of new cases in a particular population during a particular time interval.
* disability irrespective of cause (e.g., disability caused by accidents).

The term morbidity rate can refer either to the incidence rate or to the prevalence rate of a disease. Compare this with the mortality rate of a condition, which is the number of people dying during a given time interval, divided by the total number of people in the population. Morbidity is often what is measured by ICU scoring systems.
