It's WAY too soon! Give yourself more time to heal. Even with a normal non-traumatic delivery it takes eight weeks to recover. In addition to the physical trauma, the hormones your body produces while you are lactating suppress your libido. It's nature's way of keeping too many babies from being born too close together. Take your time and enjoy your new baby. They're only tiny a short time.
