Air bubble in vagina & post-birth stitches

[TiffanyAtBreakfast]

TMI thread coming up... I'm almost 3 weeks post-baby, and my stitches had started to feel a lot better. Had been in a LOT of pain but it has settled a bit and I can actually sit down now without too much agony. However today, I seem to have this horrible feeling of an air bubble deep inside my vagina which needs to pop / come out but never does it's really uncomfortable, sore and sometimes a bit itchy as well... I have no idea what the problem is. Has anyone experienced anything similar? A bit of Googling says pelvic floor exercises might help, but doing them makes it feel worse.

So worried and fed up as I thought everything was starting to get slowly back to normal down there

That sounds v unpleasant- reckon you should go to GP to be checked out. Never experienced this myself.

Could it have been a farther that's got stuck? I've had that a few times since giving birth. It was worrying me but another new mum started a thread about it and it appears to be quite common after birth.

Fart not farther!

Hah I was wondering how a farther could get stuck...! Thanks for the replies. Think I'll make a GP appt tomorrow if it's still hanging around, it feels horrible!

take a bath? maybe the air will pop out?

I’m feeling same. Had u got any solution dear??

I had an air bubble sensation for months after my DS delivery Although mine was only a small bubble sensation / more annoying than anything. Not painful or itchy.

Gradually improved - he's now 14 months. It Did go away Entirely but im now 19/40 with next baby and occasionally get it again- so for me it def seems to be a pelvic floor issue!

Hope that helps a bit

Thx for sharing your experience. I was so worried but hope it will goes itself
