It is said that the mother resumes her normal activity and her internal anatomic structure resume after 6 weeks of delivery, hence it is advised to resume the sex after 6 weeks post delivery. You might wish to see your Gynecologist now to check if you regained the energy. It is advised to use a condom or copper T to avoid pregnancy immediately after delivery. I hope this helps.
