Dear Member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
early resumption of intercourse after child birth is not recommended as the vagina is not yet healed and returned to pre pregnancy state. risk of infection is also high. I would recommend delaying coitus to 8 weeks post delivery.
the itching and the spotting may resolve in a day or two.
thanks.
