With my first son, it was a good bit longer than the second. My wife had a very hard time adjusting to being a mother and wife on top of the depression. By the second round, she knew what to expect, so she started the anti-depressants earlier. With my first son, it was about 3 months after he was born before we had sex. I was a real jerk about it and put pressure on her. That made things much worse, even after we started up again.
The second son, I completely backed off and said to let me know when you want to. That was the smartest move I ever made. My second son was born July 27 and while we were on vacation the second week of August, she basically jumped me. She isn’t much of one to initiate and that was one of her most aggressive times with me.
I’m playing it cool again with the twins, but don’t have the same expectations of the time frame, as I’m sure labor will be much harder.
