Seriously? SO embarrassed about my vagina now. Moms please read!!!

Hi everyone,

Okay, so I had my son almost 8 weeks ago.
Today, just because, I decided to look down there with a mirror and now I wanna cry.
I have random flaps of skin hanging out of my vagina. It looks so disgusting and terrible, I don't even know why my doctor or husband haven't mentioned it? They're definitely big enough to notice.
I didn't tear or have an episiotomy. This *****.
Anyone else have this too? I felt bad enough about my stretch marks and weight... now this too, even worse. :(

Its caused by swelling of all the labial folds, you had major trauma come through there and it takes a while for it to fully heal, plus if you are breastfeeding you will still have extra fluids in your body. Totally normal trust me Ive had 2 kids and an episiotomy both times it will get back to normal eventually
