The LA Zoo is full of educational surprises. Did you know that the tammar wallaby can mate and become pregnant again within just a few hours of giving birth?
This little fact begs the questions: after a human female gives birth, when can she mate and become pregnant again?
I usually give my patients the go ahead to resume sexual activity at their 4 week post partum (post delivery) check. It’s probably safe to resume sexual intercourse as early as 2 weeks after the baby is born if: you had a vaginal delivery, and you didn’t have a large tear, with need for sutures, during delivery. For a cesarean delivery, it’s probably best to wait about 4 weeks.
In terms of “mating” aka baby making? Physiologically, a woman may ovulate as soon as 25 days after delivery. If you ovulate, you can get pregnant.
So you need to discuss birth control options with your doctor before you have sex post delivery, unless you want to make like a tammar wallaby. A human embryo won’t pause for 12 months to give a newborn time to develop though. Humans haven’t evolved enough for that.

Do you find your problem hard for you? Infertile or Heartbroken? Are you finding it difficult looking for a reliable herbal healer to cure your sickness? I say this because I have been helped by Lord Krish Spiritual in restoring happiness into my life. My Mom had been sick with Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer which nearly took her life. I was sad because of this sickness and I didn’t know what to do to save my mother’s life. I would never have met Lord Krish if my friend had not introduced him to me by telling me about a herbalist who has helped so many people worldwide and it’s true. I contacted Lord Krish at lordkrishshrine@gmail.com and within 3 days, I received herbal medicine from him through a courier and I used it on my mom. Within a week, mom was cured and healed. I would advise anyone out there to Contact Lord Krish at lordkrishshrine@ gmail. com and meet him to help you with any sickness you are passing through
