Have I damaged something down there? TMI I'm sure!

[NaeNae]

So yes, embarrassing but I'm a tad worried.

Sometimes when I stand up I feel this pressure down there. But when I investigated just before, it was like there was a hard thing pressing into my vagina - but from my bum region!?? As far as I know I have nothing stuck up my arse..

I have been feeling the same thing I asked my Dr and he just said its scar tissue pressing on nerve endings - great!!!!

also just remember its only been a few weeks so give yourself time iykwim x

Do your pelvic floor excercises! It's all still recovering down there and won't feel normal till at least 6 weeks. I used to feel like mine had caved in but it's in stellar condition now

Mine didn't feel normal for weeks afterwards....

I pushed for 1hr 45mins VERY LONG (she was posterior!) and I'm sure I strained a fair bit down that region

It will feel a bit odd for a bit..... get your GP at your 6wk check up to check it all over which they do anyway and that will give you some reassurance.....

I'd say you are still swollen and you inners still need time to go back into place IYKWIM... my kids fell out of me and I had the same thing.

Yeah I know I have to - I still have trouble stopping the gush of wee when on the toilet.. lol

[sneakysparkle]

It does take a couple of months to start to feel normal I rekon - so hang in there, and keep doing those pelvic floor exercises!
I used to get a "tired" vjayjay, where it felt like it was all going to fall out lol - my MW said that it was really important for its healing to lie down to rest, that sitting down just didn't cut it! So make sure its "resting" too!

I had the same thing and just made sure to do those pelvic floor exercises after a week was fine again.

The "hard thing" you are feeling could be a poo in your rectum. Next time you use your bowels check again and see if it still there.

This is sounding a little like a rectocele so make sure you check with your doctor. I second the comments on pelvic floor exercises!

Prolapses are much more common than we think for women who have had vaginal births and there are so rarely talked about.

bwahahahahaha!!!!!! ROFL!!!!!! Ahhhh sorry that struck my funny bone

I'm pretty sure I didn't need to go at the time I felt it, but will make sure I take notice next time.. ROFL

Pelvic floor exercises - I'm trying, but there doesn't seem to be much strength down there any more!!! Hardly feels like I'm doing anything!
