Pain as new mothers resume sex too early

Nairobi, Kenya: It has emerged that women are suffering silently as many are resuming sex too early or too late after giving birth.

Different stories told by women I’ve spoken to indicate they resumed sex at different times, ranging from three days to 18 months after delivery. Many said they were coaxed into early sex by partners or felt they had to comply with their husband’s demands while others had to wait until the baby was weaned.
