Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Sex and jaundice have no direct relation. It is important to know the cause of jaundice in you at the time of delivery. You may have sexual intercourse now but please be sure to make it slow and gentle. Since you just delivered a baby, having rough sex might cause discomfort and pain. Use lot of lubrication and also use protection because you have a very small child and it is too early to have another one, and a lady can become pregnant as early as 6 weeks after delivery.
