How have you changed 'down below' since having children?

I wonder because I'm sure that after 6 kids I have almost no gap between my fanny and my anus!!
perhaps it will morph into one big hole
I don't expect replies to this, most peeps don't want to discuss!!

I want to discuss it with you Kittywise

Do you mean the perineum has gone?

How could it have disappeared...where could it go?...up inside......I am away for a look at me own now

Well after four babies I don't have much of a gap but I don't feel as if it will all merge because the muscles are strong around there.
I bet you are perfectly normal down below, but you could get someone to have a look, reassure you?

Ta, yes I'm going to the dr's this week. I want to know if I'm normal, whatever that means

Gosh I know what you mean. I have changed quite a lot actually. I am saggier , and I know what you mean about the one hole thing. When I have (ahem) wind, it often feels like it comes out the wrong hole.....

when the vagina stretches, it does get bigger so that there is hardly any space between it and the anus.

Do you feel ok otherwise?

I had a vaginal repair after just 2 normal sized babies- my bladder was sagging- so they tightened it all up.

Do you do your pf exercises, lol?

Thanks, I feel better for having read this!

yes I think that's what it is girlnextdoor, it's stretched backwards.
oh the old grey mare aint what she used to be.
it doesn't help that dp and I haven't had sex since ds3 (13 months) was conceived, (his issue not mine btw ). So I have no idea how I 'feel' to him iyswim?

I have been thinking recently that the old PF needs attention, especially with the rectal muscles.
I have had to face it that the PF exercises are NON NEGOTIABLE!!

If it's too bad you can have a nip and tuck! depends on whether you feel it's all too slack and if you are leaking etc etc.

Maybe 'average' would be a better word than 'normal'? Because normal must cover a wide variety of possibilities

Hopefully when you go to the dr you will be reassured.

Yes Rosy, I suspect I am average. I don't like it though
