Hellobee Boards

I feel different down there from outside examination. I have not tried intercourse yet, so I can't help there... YES, I'm 11 weeks pp tomorrow and still scared to do it...

@mediagirl: I'm 9 weeks PP and am scared too! I even had some spotting last week and was terrified to even use a tampon...

@MrsWagon: I have never read anything about favorite positions changing, which would seriously be a bummer . . . But on the other hand, it would be a great *reason* to find a new favorite!

@SorryCharlie: Yeah, I am right there with you doll! I am really trying to take this one day at a time, but with under 2 weeks to go, I keep thinking *seriously, why didn't anyone tell me about any of this!*

I'm not a hand mirror gal, so I'm not sure how things look different, but 4 months PP I'm good as new, and maybe better. Possibly tighter from the stitches and scar tissue...at first I thought I would never be able to DTD again due to the size.
This is possibly the worst part: ever since delivery it is really easy for air to get trapped in there and, well, you know what happens when the air comes out. This continues to be a problem for me with yoga, but I fixed it by wearing a tampon to yoga, which I feel yucky about....that is my worst PP 'down there' issue now.

Well I guess I'm different....

I had a total of 32 stitches. This obviously had me terrified that I would end up with monster vagina. I had an episiotomy and I also had a tear. I am 13wks pp and I am pleasantly surprised to say my vagina looks exactly the way it used to (I took pics of it pre and post lol). Not only does it look the same, but DH claims it also feels the exact same. We're super honest with each other as well. My baby was big to at 8lbs 15oz

I was also afraid to have sex, but we tried right at 6wks and based on my experience, I wouldn't put it off. It hurt the first few times and no one finished through intercourse, but the warm up made the 5th time very easy. By the 8th time I was back to having multiple orgasms and can do all positions but one very comfortably, I would be afraid waiting too long, would have made my experience worse.

So ladies who haven't delivered do not freak!

@Mrsdaredevil: well maybe you just need to have 30 plus stitches then! You and I are the only positive stories lol

well... hmm.. there are some things that are different, some that aren't.

This is really gross, but it totally has a different smell than before I was pregnant lol. I don't like it at all, kinda nasty.

Sex is ok, still a little sore, but I think we'll get there.

Birth really screwed up my backside, I had hems off and on and that's not fun.

Also, since DS's head was engaged very low since 20 weeks, I got stretch marks down there and that's not cool - especially since it makes shaving a little rough.

Otherwise appearance-wise, I'm not sure I see a difference..

@Coco Bee: I also got stretch marks down below. My hair grows super weird now because of the stretch marks.

first time having sex PP I was so sore but things felt looser, less sensitive at the same time.
I didn't tear so no stitches and I only pushed for 15 minutes and its my first baby
Now that LO is 4 months old things are better and feeling has returned. Haven't been too adventurous with positions but good old missionary has been treating us well.
Hubby says I don't feel any different to him (yup, he'd tell me) then again, maybe its just been so long he doesn't remember what i used to feel like lol
