I didn't have sex my whole pregnancy because my baby's father and I were not together... A few days before birth we started talking again and fixed some patches and are dating again.. Let's just say I'm ready for my stitches to heal so I can have sex again 😂😂 two questions.. Best type of birth control besides the shot or pill and how bad was it having sex after ?! Just think it'll be about 11 months since I've had sex lol
