vagina after birth.
So crazy question ladies... I've been wondering how my vagina will look after giving birth, and healing, will it look the same? And will it feel the same? I've heard some men say it gets "loose" so to speak, this is my first child so I am just curious!
I only bleed two weeks post partum its not gross. What's disturbing is women who are judgmental and think its ok to make such comments when it doesnt apply to them. Everybody's body is different mine just heals really fast after. Worry bout your self
These women saying they had sex 2 and 3 weeks post partum is disturbing to me. Your body needs to heal! After my first baby I waited 4 weeks and when tried, it did not feel good so we waited til 6 weeks but even after that it felt weird. My daughter is almost one and sex is back to normal but 2 weeks after you have a baby you are still bleeding...gross! vaginas are elastic and will go back.
I had sex 2 weeks post partum last time and my doctor said it was ok. Its not a big deal
I'm sorry bt 3 week's? No matter how big or small ur suppose to wait at least 6 week's. Yuck. Anyway I'm curious myself. I had to have a csection with my son. 7 years later I was thinking about doing vbac bt I'm nervous too.
Oh and I didn't tear at all. No damage was done. I do kegels every once in a while but I'm only 3 weeks post partum and wasn't able to heal because of my baby in the nicu so it still feels like I just gave birth so I'd recommend staying in bed doing as little as possible for a little...
I lost all feeling in my clit and after about 20 minutes of having sex I got really lose... it was disgusting. I told my husband that it hurt really bad to get him to stop bc I literally felt like I was spread wide open :/ and my baby was only 2 pounds 14 ounces born at 30 weeks... so tiny baby. And losing complete feeling in the clit makes sex almost impossible...
Also (my mom used to be a bit wacky) my mom slept with one of my friends when I was younger, and he said she was pretty tight. She had 6 kids, all vaginally lol.
On my third baby and no changes it will not be loose. Exercising helps a lot with that. Especially if you do a lot of core and ab workouts. Running is a good one too. Dont worry too much. Do your kegels and peritoneal massages and you shouldn't tear I haven't tore yet!
Mine went back tight NY partner sed it didn't feel like I had a baby but there was loose skin on inner lps I had op to remove that I found it embarrassing lol
Thanks y'all! Safe to say kegals are key? Lol
I've asked a lot of my guy friends that have kids because I've been very paranoid and I really wanted a male perspective. They all told me that their wife/girlfriends vagina didn't get loose at all. It went right back to the way it was. And all the females I asked said it did change. So luckily from what I'm reading, you'll notice a change but your significant other won't really notice anything.
This might be TMI but if you dare, read on.
Your vagina will look the same from the outside. If you ripped or got an episiotomy and have stiches, it won't look quite the same until after it is fully healed.
Your vagina will feel the same from the outside. It will likely feel different from the inside. I haven't gotten complaints of loseness from my husband so it's not like you wil be all floppy. But I can feel the difference.
I started having sex again about 3 or 4 months after I gave birth. I noticed that my vagina is much less sensitive now and doesn't lubricate as well. I have to use lube. The skin in the areas where I had stiches were tight and not as stretchy probably there were some small scar tissue. This led to some pain and sometimes tearing if we're not careful. But at about 8 to 10 months, the skin regained it's stretchiness and I didn't have a problem with pain or tightness anymore.
It's about 20 months since I gave birth now and my vaginal muscles are not as strong as before. My orgasms are not as intense. The muscles can't contract as hard. My orgasms are more like flutterings now. I have problems with bladder control when I sneeze or cough really hard, too.
My doctor says I have to be more diligent with my Kegel exercises. I do them when I remember but not nearly as frequently or consistently or for the amount of time recommende by my doctor.
So, yes, you will have changes down there. Some will experience more changes than others. But it is reversible with time, healing, patience, and exercise.
