PP intimacy

Okay ladies. I am currently 3 weeks pp. I had my first dr appointment today but he didn't really ask me if I was intimate all he said was that he was going to see me again in 4 weeks for a "consultation" for the IUD bc im still not sure about which birth control to get :/ ANYWAY, how long after having baby did you start getting intimate with your hubby? We have this "tradition" in my family that we are supposed to wait 6 weeks pp that includes staying in the house & just resting. I know times have changed so I just need an input from different people.
