Men's opinions please: sex / feeling of fanny after childbirth?

[Alexa808]

I'd like to ask a question which has long been bugging me, but didn't dare to ask because I was shy.
Now that I'm pregnant myself, curiosity got the better of me and I'd like you to share your experiences:

does a woman's fanny feel different (more loose, scar tissue, less friction during intercourse, etc.) after giving birth naturally?

Is it true that a womn will never feel as tight again after giving birth? Or are certain practices off limits now?

Will it ever grow back to normal? It's a muscle after all, no?

I asked DH this question and he says mine feels no different and is just as tight (might change his tune after this one though-being number)

It is a muscle after all, innit? It will shrink back?

And you've got 3 dcs...

takes hat off and bows

why thankyou-err what practices would be off limits??

Fanjo surely!! [fans self at shock of use of word.... fanny )

back entrance might heard, dunno, prob imagining things.

Fanjo, uhm, sorree...thought I'd be a bit more direct. Must be the German half in me...grumble...

ahem...'hurt', not heard.

My DH absolutely assures me that everything feels the same, just as it did. I have one DD and am currently about to have second baby (not this minute, due May). Be interesting to see what he says after two .

After two natural births DW is definitely looser. Sex is still very good too.

I count myself very fortunate that she still allows me to go near enough to find this out.

Of course after witnessing two births, it's entirely possible that I've shrunk...

lol, barcode

GCG, congrats. Not too long to go :-)

Barcode... Nice one!

lol barcode

Mine is the same after 2 kids as it was before them. I know this to be true as it also feels the same for me which is helpful.

Pelvic floor exercises aren't for nuthin!

agree with poodlepusher do your pelvic floors!! 3 natural births here, all above 8lb ( biggest 8lb 13oz with huge sholders!!! ouch).. but no difference in the ladygarden area!! mantra... pelvic floor.. pelvic floor ...

Help! I'm due in May (end of) too late to crash course pelvic floors??? or does it work after birth too? Already have one nearly 3 year old.

Hello
If you excercise your pelvic floor every day, 10 times a day between now and the birth you'll have made a huge difference. Then continue after the birth.
Never too late to start.
Hope the birth goes well!

With Poodle on this it is never to late to start. And mine like vix is no different after having to large babies. Just keep doing then every time you remember.

All the best.

C'mon be honest..... who is sat here reading this thinking "ah yes pelvic floor muscles" and doing them?? Me!

Altogether now..............and squeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!!!!!!

Me I have to say only because my ex husband kept going on about me having a big fanjo after having a nearly 11 lb baby. But havent had any complaints since from any one

Blimey, no wonder he's an ex!

No complaints here, I'm a bit larger than before but actually sex is better now because I was too tight and it could get uncomfortable

I orgasm more easily which is weird, but hey I'm not complaining

O.K I'll be a ten a day from now on....it's remebering to do it...!My first baby was quite big and am told this one is too so I'll get cracking.

Isn't this similar to the 'does my bum look big in this' question, i.e. one that men know better than to give a negative answer to!

I orgasm more easily to which is great.

Wordgirl: He said worse than that for example 2 weeks after having DS he said if you dont start giving me sex soon I will be looking else where

What an arse!

I wish he'd get near enough to me so I could find out the answers to ANY of these questions...

Leads me to a new thread me thinks!

Arh solo hasnt your fella been near you
