Curious.. about V

One thing that is on my mind.. is the recovery? How do you feel and your private bits after giving birth.. I want to know rather than being scared.. how long does it take to recover down there and does it feel the same or really different???? 
Ofcourse I have to have my baby, I just want to know .....I have heard 6 weeks is the recommended time to wait for sex aswell but will everything be healed by then?
