Third degree tears and episiotomy TW picture plus rectocele issue

[Mumofonexo]

Hi I’m 9 months pp from a forceps delivery and 3b tear I've just been told I’ve got a grade 1 rectocele.

my questions are would you be happy with how the scar has healed? I still get pulling and tenderness with it.

also if you have a rectocele and had a second baby even via c section did it get worse?

thank you ☺️

I’ve had four babies and my diagnosed rectocele did not get any worse after my subsequent babies, but I’m finding it worse currently as I’ve put some weight on. I’m absolutely militant with my pelvic floor exercises though.

I’m sorry I can’t comment on the scar as I don’t know anything about scars!

@BrutusMcDogface thats good to know if didn’t get worse! Did you have your babes natural or c section?

the weight gain is so difficult isn’t it I’m with you on that! I do want to slim down though.

I had three vaginal and one c-section. I think it was my second baby who caused the rectocele so I had two after!

I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been, even at full term pregnancy with my first! The older I get, the harder it is to lose! 😭 😂

@BrutusMcDogface

bless you it’s so hard! I’ve noticed a massive difference from being in my 20s to 30s it just doesn’t come off that easily
