😂 that's so funny.. (sorry)
I don't think anyone has actually answered ur question..
How long ago did u have baby? Maybe it's just taking a while for everything to tighten back up.. do ur cabbage crunches..

Oh OP, bless you, this is so funny.

Please tell me you referred to it as a cabbage to the HCP’s while in having your baby!!

Poor OP, just ignore all the PPs taking the piss! I bet some of them call their vaginas even weirder names - I’ve seen them referred to as flowers, minnies and fanjos on here before now!
Whatever you want to call it, it’s really no big deal about it “drinking” the bath water. It will just run out when you stand up - have a shoogle before you start drying with your towel, to help shake out the excess.
There is no need to be embarrassed about your perfectly normal genitals. But thanks for giving me a wee chuckle - yours is the only one christened “cabbage” that I’ve come across in 36 years as a doctor! Bless you.

*your, not you. My iPad types horribly slowly on MN.

Here I was thinking that cabbage was a crazy autocorrect for baby and clicking because DC2 insists on trying to drink the bath water at 6mo Shock

DowntonCrabby · 18/12/2018 15:01

Bandit are you Scottish? I haven’t heard “shoogle” in years. Smile

Oh my lord. I scrolled past this but when I saw it was in post natal health I just had to find out.

Did you give birth to a cabbage patch kid? Grin

aimee888 · 18/12/2018 15:13

I thought everyone called it a cabbage. Like when you need to wee and you say I need to go and shake the cabbage ☹️

Shock I’ve never said that!!

And to answer your question op water does get up there sometimes and it’s fine. Make sure to do your pelvic floor exercises

Greensleeves · 18/12/2018 15:14

Ugh, now I keep thinking about my 3rd degree tear as shredded red cabbage [vom] that's that off the Christmas menu!

DonDrapersOldFashioned · 18/12/2018 15:36

Shake your lettuce, surely?

Either way, I don’t believe you are so sheltered that you think ‘cabbage’ is a universal term for female genitalia Hmm

I thought this was going to be about cabbage leaves for mastitis. Was going to say take them off before bathing.

PickAChew · 18/12/2018 15:42

It's probably full of very thirsty caterpillars.

I've googled and it looks like you may be alone on that one. (Lots of recipes for healthy kale shakes though! Grin)

Plus you know you don't wee out of your 'cabbage' ...right...?

tryinganewname · 18/12/2018 15:52

I've heard 'shake your lettuce' before.. pukes

sanityisamyth · 18/12/2018 16:13

Is it grown using hydroponics?!
