I gave birth 6 weeks ago and was shocked at how I felt after the birth - like someone had kicked me in the vagina repeatedly, I had to hobble about for a few days and I felt like my insides were going to fall out. Also I was alarmed to find that when I went to the loo the wee just "fell" out of me and once I'd started the flow there was no stopping.
I feel a lot better now - no pain or hobbling about - but things definitely don't feel the same. I still can't stop wee mid-flow and I feel kind of 'baggy' . Not attempted sex yet (dreading it) and a bit nervous about exercise in case I leak urine. Doing kegels like mad!
How did you feel after childbirth? Does it get better?
