I feel like an utter crock

[StiffyByng]

This is a bit of a vent, sorry. I am 35 and had my first baby last year. I now have a prolapse, a 'menopausal vagina', a dodgy hip that needs surgery and I've put on 2 stone I can't lose. I can't do much exercise. I feel like the most elderly unsexy thing in the world and I'm totally fed up. I adore my daughter and want to have more kids but I hadn't thought that I would become this wrecked person by having a baby. I just want my old body back that was just OK - really nothing special - but at least it wasn't falling to pieces.

Vent away. Can I join you though? I am having my first UTI for about 15 years and it's a humdinger, I am weeing nearly pure blood and feeling very sorry for myself

Planning anymore babies? They can do fabulous repairs of pelvic floor these days - TVT IIIRC, but best done after you have finished having children.

Poor you. I had many of those in my teens and they are godawful.

I'm hoping to have two more babies but at this rate I'll be in a wheelchair at the end of it!

dear stiffybyng I feel the same with a bad painful hip overweight asthma colitis and a dicky heart I feel tired all the time and as if my life is nearly over but it can't possibly be.

I want my old body back too. I want my life back.

I have an exercise bike I should use more.
