I am starting this thread because I cannot believe that no other first time mum has experienced what I am going through, and I cannot believe that the medical profession lets women suffer these injuries in the 21st century. Why isn't Mumsnet all over this?
I am two years on from childbirth and I have lost all sensation in my perineum and outside of vagina. I am suffering prolapses and bowel leakage despite doing millions of pelvic floor exercises and spending hundreds of pounds on women's health physio. I have severe pelvic pain after exercising or even just standing for any period of time. My life will never be the same again.
If I knew of these risks beforehand I would never have consented to vaginal birth and would have insisted on ELCS.
What can we do to stop this and anyone else out there suffering with me?
