Do things go back to normal...down there... after a vaginal delivery?!


Question: Do things go back to normal...down there... after a vaginal delivery?
I have been told that it does, and I have been told that it's just different, and I have been told no.
Let me know!

Answers:

Yes it does i just gave birth October 10th and mine is back to normal :) dont worry about it ofcourse it does!!!



I returned to normal, but it took a few weeks as I had plenty of stitches due to tearing both times. Vagina size perfectly normal, and breast feeding helps to contract the uterus and the general area. However, take it easy when you start again, as it can be a bit sore for a while. Plenty of lube advised.



Normally, yes, If not, most women's organs would just fall out.
All of the things they said so far here are true. There are exceptions.

If you were knocked out, given pitocin when you were not in true labor, had a nine pound baby being delivered, over about l4 hours, you might be torn badly. Probably would be. You would probably have an episiotomy ..which could be large. Depending on the 'compency' of the doctor....................and how well he repaired the damages done...you might or might not have damages, infection, adhesions from the lacerations and tearing inside the vagina. This is not a normal scenario.
Thank God. Episiotomies are made to the side,and to the back. Hope for the side. Hope for a small one. The adhesions on the inside can cause terrible pain on intercourse until they stretch or come lose ..maybe in a second childbirth. An episiotomy can be uncomfortable for a long time . I had to kneel by the bed, stand on a chair in my knees to do anything which required standing due to the pain...for a long long time. I ironed on my knees.
It has to do with some muscle that was cut or sewn up wrong.

Even with this, we had an active (regular type) sex life for twenty years; He did not complain to me. I must say that the first six ears of my married sex life was not the least pleasant.Had I not thought he loved me, I would have asked for a divorce. It was that bad, painful. No organs fell out that was the only good thing.

With the second one,( I was scared to death with the first and second,) I walked and walked and walked while pregnant. I heard walking was good for the mother, I didn't gain any more wt with the second than the first. it was not my weight that was the problem.

This second birth helped . It freed internal adhesions or something. The pain decreased , is . always on one side, same place. There are , I hear, decent moral, ethical, good OB doctors, possibly regular doctors , too? Sensitive...non vulgar, non
lecherous or insulting. .They exist, somewhere. I heard they do.

Never try to sue one. Hope for help. We did no sue.t. Received nothing. The 2nd one ripped out my placenta prematurely. I had a massive hemorrhage. The hospital covered it up. I went to an outpatient clinic to have this baby She was an eight pounder. No episiotomy. Short labor. Things went great, inspite of his being grumpy. then he became impatient and ripped out my afterbirth. I had to go to the hospital any way. They would not help me nurse my baby which would have helped a lot. Would not give me so much as a drink of water, Nurses never talked to me at all, just one or two words, cold,uncaring. No nothing. I was there only overnight thank 'god.Went home and stayed in bed for about a week,.Passed huge clots..scared me to death. I felt this enormous thing leave my body, scared me so bad I grabbed it up...thought he left something in there, this went on several times, not all at once. It was just blood clots from the hemorrhage. Sorry to gross you out. Some of us have not had a good time of it.

Funny thing about these doctors physical appearances. I did not notice until after the fact. I have had a lot of stress in my life. They looked like people who had caused me terrible problems and .pain, and great losses. I wish I could have had one more baby with a decent kind doctor in attendance. Ihad my tubes tied because .I preferred to live to raise the two I had. Could it have been homophobia? Was it racial hatred toward me? I am not gay.. i surely did and do love kids.

OB has changed. They have wonderful clinics and nurse midwives. I was threatened in nursing school ..to not dare tell this to the mothers. I would not have, never thought of it. I was bullied over this and denied work in the hospital which received me after the doctor ripped out the placenta. I did not get to work there and as a student they did reallly rotten things to me. No. We did not sue these people. Did not receive one cent, not one kudo, not one blessing, not one apology...and then they did even more. Just in case the ambulance chasers are still waiting for dough from that SWiss bank account...there is none . Pretty rotten that all this be done to me, I wanted to be a nurse, then because it is done to me, they won't let me work in nursing. I did not want to be a psych or drug nurse.. I would have skipped the homelessness after nursing school if there had been a swiss account. Believe me. I could have missed that.

Be thankful I wanted more kids. I only had the two. They are my family.
