Water trapped in vagina

[Muffintop8]

So this is rather embarrassing but I had to ask because I’m getting a little concerned. I had my babies almost 3 years ago. I’ve not had anything wrong with my hooha (apart from a third degree tear, ouch) but for years and even before I had kids I think every time I take a bath water leaks out. I have to forcibly push water like I’m peeing out of my vagina so I suppose my question is. Is that normal? Is that a normal thing to happen to ladies? I have severe health anxiety so I suppose that doesn’t help but I just wanna know if it’s normal or do I have something to be seen about?

Pretty normal I would think.

Normal for me.

Thank god. I was starting to freak out

Normal here too.

Totally normal.

Normal here too, don’t think I got it pre birth or I didn’t notice but definately after. Also had 3rd degree tear.

I think this is due to the shape of the inside of your vagina... it kind of dips to form a little ... pocket? Or cup maybe? This is why when you get out of bed in the morning during your period, you sometimes get a ‘gush’. Well, I do anyway.

There was a thread on here about it happening after swimming once. As a swimmer with 2 kids, this was very relieved to read the replies and find it completely normal.

Sponge vag...? I thought everyone had it.

Normal!

Very normal. Vacuum vag!

OP there was an absolutely priceless thread here on MN a few months ago called “My cabbage drinks the bath water”, on precisely this topic! I haven’t laughed so much in ages!

Haha this thread made me laugh!

Yes, also can relate pre and post baby!

Very normal - and why I gave up bath bombs. Definitely had an irritant effect!

Yes, normal.

Weirdly, it only started happening after my first miscarriage, so it wasn't even giving birth that brought it on, but pregnancy itself.

Yep normal for me. I can squirt it up like a fountain too if the mood takes me.

My Fanny is obviously not thirsty. I feel left out now.

I was thinking about how I often use bath bombs too and I’ve now stopped coz I’m thinking that shiz is going up there haha

I really hate thinking about this because basically, when we are in a swimming pool, the water has already circulated all around people's cervixes.

Post bath gush ? Perfectly normal.

Totally normal. Especially after swimming!

@picklemepopcorn that has never occurred to me before but now thanks to your input I will be able to bring it to mind every time I go swimming. 👍

Wow that wouldn't be normal for me neither pre nor post birth but it looks like I'm the odd one out.

@BerwickLad glad to be of service. Wouldn't like you to swim in ignorance of the cavity rinse you are soaking in!

Yes. Yes, I would.
