Abit personal but does everything always go back to normal down below after a vaginal birth? I am scared that it won't, because while being pregnant I already feel like it has stretched inside and sex feels different. Thought it might be because i have more discharge...really sorry for tmi. This is my third, and it was ok last time but it has been 11 years ??? Older body=older muscles..less elastic?

OP posts:

Thanks

So glad you asked this as to be honest it's been on my mind. We have 4 siblings between us and 9 nieces/nephews all born via c/section. My other half sees it as my duty to break the pattern and avoid the sun roof option!. I of course would prefer to give birth naturally but my sister in law has made some comments on what this would mean for our sex life and I dread the look of disappointment on his face if he suddenly finds his organ playing in a cathedral! Am kegeling as I type!
