Did you find you were looser 'down there' after having children?

[wintersnow]

I haven't noticed any difference after 2 babies (3rd on the way), just wondering if this is 'normal' as have seen on another thread that lots of women notice a difference

C section for me so can't say from personnal experiance but have had friends say they certainly feel looser. Pelvic floor exercises everyday! then even if you hav lossened up a little you'll soon be like a young girl again.
You can even get specially pelvic floor exercsing instruments!

No, they sewed things up a bit too tight for comfort, tbh. (They meant well).

nope, better here!

I didn't think I was, but DH kindly let slip the other day that for quite a while after DS's birth there was a distinct echoey feeling Thanks darling

Apparently it's all back to normal now though, and me too lazy to do pelvic floor exercises too.

am definately different but could be due to unstitched 2nd degree tear that didn't heal v.well. i'm sure ds2 came flying out witout so much as a push as a result of that - had to push for ages to get ds1 out.
am dreading the outcome of dc3

At first it feels looser but now it actually feels tighter! :) it's the feeling of the scar I think?

No different, DH agrees. Still a little pain from the scar at times, DD nearly 4 months now.

I feel a lot looser, forceps delivery, dd 5 months now :(

Dp kindly says it feels no different but if I feel with my finger it's like a big black hole (sorry tmi) hahaha

feels like I suck up half the water up into my fanjo when having a bath these days...

2 x ventouses and lots of stitches, I am better down there now. DH has noticed.

Most definitely looser. First baby was a nearly 9lber and three day labour, and it's never been the same since. I used to be quite tight down there, but no longer. It pisses me off.

Superwoman- been doing pelvic floor exercises for the last 17 years and they have made no difference whatsoever. My only consolation is that at least I don't have stress incontinence like various women I know.

I'm much tighter to the point gynae consultant gave me dilators :-s

why do you think they make the Super plus tampons??

I thought super plus tampons where for a heavier flow...

Oh good god yes. It was like the bloody grand canyon down there!

But I did have two ten and a half pound babies in fifteen months!

Pelvic floor exercises and lots of 'em. It's the only way.

Although I have never managed to be able to do them without pulling a 'trying to hold in a fart' face. So best not done in the checkout queue at Tesco...
