I tore with the birth of my daughter, but nothing major. I did have to have stitches though 14 in total, and all on the inside. Every woman is different. And there is no telling if a woman is going to need stitches after a birth until it is over with. As for the healing and such, When I got my first regular period back after the birth of my daughter "9 weeks post" My doctor gave me the ok for sex. With the use of condoms.
