Answer 1

No, it would not be a good idea to have s*x now.  You need at least six weeks of healing and recovery time.  At the moment you are still at higher risk of infection, and although you feel good and the wound looks healed- it isn't completely.  It isn't time to hit up the gym either.  Those abdominal muscles won't be able to take it, they also need a good six weeks of healing time.  The soonest you can even think of s*x is about the 4-5 week point, and even then I'd suggest you wait until after you've seen the doctor at your six week postpartum checkup.  Then you can ask the doctor about exercising to get back the old body.  Your body just made a miracle, dear.  It took nine months to do it, and you need to let it have time to recouperate.  It's great you feel so good, and are bouncing back fast, but not a good time to push your luck.  

Answer 2

The doctor didn't recommend s*x or driving until I was 6 weeks out from my C-section.  I would say it was a good 2 months before I felt like doing anything but walking.  You need to make sure that the incision is closed and not infected etc., and don't be afraid to ask these kinds of questions at your doctor's office.
