IT'S a question many new parents seek the answer for – how soon is too soon to jump back on the horse after giving birth.

It's commonly recommended that couples wait at least six weeks before having sex again, and the reason why will definitely make you think twice.

Many women tear down there while bringing a baby into the world, and while some find it incredibly painful for weeks to come, this isn't the only reason why you should avoid jumping in the sack.

A nurse named Jen, who shares her advice on TikTok, addressed comments from new mums who say they had sex after just three days, thinking it was fine as they didn't tear.

But she revealed that the reason you shouldn't is to do with your placenta – which attaches to the wall of your uterus while pregnant.

She said: "We tell you to wait because because your placenta left a plate sized wound in your uterus and we don't want it to get infected."

In the clip she's also holding up what's looks to be a prop resembling the size of the wound and all we can say is ouch.

The post has racked up over 2.5 million views and women in the comments are mostly shocked by the fact some women choose to have sex just days after birth.

"Bruh how do people even find the time or energy after three days? It was the very last thing on my mind," one said.

Another agreed, adding: "Who is even in the mood three days post partum?"
