To ask is there any way to stop this? <TMI>

[BabyMakesTheBellyGoRound]

Is there any way to stop the old bathwater up the fanny phenomenon? Preferably without being measuring for a sink plug.

Nowt to do with bagginess. I think it's just a physiological thing. I had it pre dc, have had two cs, no vaginal births and still get it. Pelvic floor is in tip top shape. Interestingly, it stopped when pregnant. I also find it doesn't happen at certain points in my cycle so it's something to do with where my cervix is I assume (cervix dips down at various points in your cycle).

It's like javelin arse. You think you're the only one it happens to until you mention it on MN...

I don't get it after a bath, but do sometimes experience it after swimming. For me there is a delay of up to 30 minutes, can get out pool, shower, get dressed, drive home, make a cup of tea then woosh

bad pelvic floor here (spd etc in pregnancy and still not right yrs later) but never had this. although i did have problems when swimming for about two yrs after dd was born.

I wear a tena pad after swimming now because I take the bus and can't risk a gushing on it.

What's javelin arse?

Love it. It's going on my list of weird things to discuss with friends. I've also had this for years, pregnant with first now so don't think it's got anything to do with giving birth/pelvic floors.

Shooting pains up the bumhole during a period or when ovulating

Lots of women get them, but dismissed them until they came to MN

Where does it hide - pouch of Douglas, I think (note: I am not a doctor)

You could try a Mooncup? No nasty sticking trying to get it out after, and it essentially would be acting as a plug

This has never happened to me, but explains a lot. Midwife said it must have been bathwater when I told her my waters were leaking. I was like, why the fuck would there be bathwater leaking from my uterus? Thought she was batty. I was right though, was my water breaking slowly.

...eeeverything makes sense now.

A moon cup would just, er, transfer the problem. I've just emptied mine of swimming pool water

Javelin arse! I get that! I never made the connection between ovulation/period and javelin arse. I'll have to keep a diary

Someone said that javelin arse often happens in the library. Better than post bath gush in the library I suppose.....

Javelin Arse. Always wondered if there was a technical term for that. Now I know.

Ladies who do a post-bath gush...does a similar thing happen after sex? Like a few hours later you get a gush of seminal fluid?

No Visualise no post sex gush here. Just bath.

Yes to javelin arse. Was really worried and considered going to the doctor about it (but rejected out of sheer embarrassment) until MN cleared it up for me. It's normal

Don't get post bath gush.

Javelin Arse, is that why my bumhole is getting twitchy, im due on in 2 days time.

I get this and it's made me very self-conscious that I'm floppy before I've even had children!

Seems it's the opposite juney.

Until I mentioned this once to a friend after a couple of glasses of wine I thought I was the only person in the world this happened to. It got worse after the second vaginal delivery. I think I have quite a good pelvic floor, and certainly am not aware of having a bucket fanny, so it's quite a mystery how I can temporarily store so much fluid.

I have popped two mahoosive noggined children out my fanjo yet have never sucked up bath water.

I'm feeling a bit left out to be honest. Off to have a bath and practice.....

horse yes, post-sex gush happens for me

i've always had this - I can whoosh in and out at will ...not had any kids so it's not bagginess that does it.

I also get post sex mini-gush which is a bit yuk when you're standing at the hob making the tea or somesuch.

This is also the reason i don't think tampons + swimming work...i get a lovely red post swimming gush. Not nice.

Shooting pains up the bumhole during a period or when ovulating

Is that what that is??? I have always wondered, I thought I was weird!

I sometimes get a post sex gush a good few hours later and when I was working it happened more than once and I was paranoid that there was a smell of Benji off me

Javelin arse makes sense now and a most appropriate way of describing it

I do wonder when people have sex in their lunch hour whether they worry about the gush in the afternoon?

They probably use a condom or a sock or the curtain instead.
