    Definitely go seek some advice from a specialist physio so you know you are on track - I remember things changing heaps at 6weeks, 3 months and even at a year. Try to be kind to yourself too - your body needs time to recover!!!!

    Yep definitely see a physio. My physio after DD helped me fix my pelvic floor strength, pubic pain and dropped bladder. We did some one on one exercises and I also had a tubigrip as well as strapping around my hips to help stabilise my pelvis. Getting your pelvic floor good again is the key, and pilates will help big time! Can't rave enough about pilates.

    It's an awful feeling isn't it? I remember after DS sitting in a salt bath (for my cut) and discovering that I was falling out. Thought the world was ending.
    Then the OB says, Oh, it's just a bit of vaginal sag.... Just? Just?! Anyway, it sorted itsefl out with time. It could well be something similar for you.

    Vaginal Sag? Oh good god how glamourous, not! The things we have to go through for our babies! (So worth it of course)

    The physio did give me a tubigrip, and I wear it every day, and most nights. It holds my tummy in and means I dont have to look at it!!

    Thanks girls for the reassurance that it will all improve. I feel pretty feral at the moment. I am so off to see a physio in the next couple of weeks.
