Wrinkly vagina after pregnancy.

Hi all,

Very embarrassing but I made the mistake of looking at my down below the other day and my lips literally look like a shrivelled up raisin. 😭

I’m late twenties and haven’t had sex in over a year. I gave birth to ds2 last year (c-section). During the pregnancy my labia was very swollen and felt lumpy. Midwife assured it was fine.

Has anyone else experienced this?! I did used to wax for years and had a weird habit of plucking hairs down there. I’m wondering if the pulling from the wax/plucking may have caused this.

Any advice greatly appreciated! Sex will be off the cards for a long time (lone parent) but I feel like I’d be too self conscious to do it now anyways. Thanks in advance!

Just to add it’s the outer lips that look wrinkly, the inside bit looks alright!
