Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if this is totally normal or not, but since I had my DS ten days ago, my pelvic floor/undercarriage (or lack of I should say) has been feeling as though its not getting any better at all.
It hurts to stand and walk as well as to get up from a sitting/laying position. Its sore and uncomfortable, feels heavy and as though all my insides are falling out, and very sensitive.
I know there's been some trauma down there, given that I've just had a baby, but I wondered how normal this feeling was, when it will start to heal and if anyone has any tips for speeding up recovery or encouraging healing...my DS was only 6lb 9, but came very quickly (7 mins pushing) and I had a second degree tear as well as a significant blood loss.
Its making me worry slightly as I'm struggling to get up and pick up my little one, and my other half goes back to work later this week and I won't have any assistance then.
Thanks so much in advance x
