Since having a forceps delivery some months ago, I have been feeling distraught every moment of the day and night. I don't feel like a woman anymore, not the woman I was anyway. I know my experience is not the norm, I have prolapse of the vagina with bowel problems now and have no sensation inside anymore from nerve damage but I am questioning everything about childbirth now. Friends told me before the birth that it would not make any significant difference to sex but now I think that they were not telling the truth. My vagina is so much bigger now and I did not expect such a change. Could it be that all this talk about hormonal changes and of being overwhelmed by motherhood is all lies and that women are really upset about the changes to their bodies as I am? I have been told that sex will never be same again for me even with sucessful surgery for the prolapse. I wonder if women with sections ever get postnatally depressed. I know I didn't with my first child born by section.
