Vagina Secrets, part deux
Ladies, have you ever had a good look around, you know *hushed voice* down there?
Ever got the mirror out and had a proper poke about?
I hadn’t, and I rather wish I had. Perhaps even taken photos of it -not to stick in the family photo album, or keep in my wallet you understand, but for scientific purposes- because it’s all changed and I’m not really sure how much.
I have nothing to compare it too.
Since squeezing a couple of small people out of it I’ve noticed it felt a bit different, wasn’t quite the same any more, so after some thought and making sure that everyone was out and the doors locked (my luck just runs the way that makes these things necessary) I got a mirror out and had a look.
And well, I’m not sure it’s always been that way, you know, quite so, well, *hushed voice and embarrassed mumble* unclosed as it was.
Sure it’s been stretched beyond imagination, twice. Torn apart and stitched back together, twice. But it was, well, a lot more, erm, ahem, open that I would have imagined.
Is this *looks around furtively biting lip* normal?
Do all mothers suffer from this, or am I some kind of freak?
I’ve never even seen someone else’s -a couple of fumbles in the dark is the closest I’ve come- and so I’m not really sure what it should have looked like before the kids.
Are they standard looking things?
Should I go and buy some porn mags or type some inadvisable words into Google to find out?
Has two kids in two years changed mine so much?
Will it ever go back to the way it was?
Oh so many questions. They never dicuss this in the parenting books, do they?
In case you missed it:
Vagina Secrets, part un
I'm Heather, an ex expat, now back in blighty and living in Lancashire. Which is just like Lapland only less snowy...and stuff.
Ummm-you have been in naked sauna parties and have never stolen a glance?? LOL-def get some mags!
DO NOT LOOK AT A PORN MAG!!!!
I think it will have changed. I only had one vag. birth and it did such awful things that I had to have a c section the second time and I’m currently recovering from a ‘repair’ operation that is supposed to stitch the whole damn thing back together ‘as before’ but I can already tell that it isn’t going to be even remotely like that but I’m too scared to look. I wish I’d had 2 c sections, or better yet had a stork deliver them (why can’t we have them that way??) but TOO BLOODY LATE NOW. If it works okay, you can enjoy your conjugals and not piss yourself when you cough, it’s all good
Heather I’d love to help, but I don’t think I’d be much use. Oh hang on, that doesn’t sound right does it? Oh God, I’m going…
I haven’t, no. i mean, it’s not the sort of thing you want to be caught stealing a glance of, is it? that and the girls tend to sit with their legs closed, you know. spoil sports… lol
the stork, now that would have been good! why didn’t anybody offer me the stork version? Maybe you have to go private?
oh Tim, i think i love you even more not just for coming to read a post with such a scary title but for sticking around long enough to post a comment too!
Not the world’s greatest expert, but I think they are much the same as fingerprints. Each one unique. Yours is yours. Learn to love it. Um, so to speak…

Crikey, maybe you should get Inspector Morse on the case. Imagine having to take mingeprints?
I will say this about your blog – you cover many varied subjects! Only yesterday the wife and I were watching your vlog and were agog at how much snow has been dumped on you recently. Talking of the wife, I’d better ask here about this blogpost. And she’s French so she’d understand what “part deux” meant in the title.
Well, a while ago they had this TV programme on about an artist in brighton who made art out of women’s bits. It was then that we saw a woman talk about her missing lips – my other half said wow Karen she’s just like you – she’s another Arthur Cunt!
Now we’d been together 10 years and this was the first time he’d taken to discuss this with me! I was 39 years old and why had it taken me this long to find out my vagina was missing bits?
Don’t worry my man said it makes it more tidy. So I own a tidy Arthur!
Quite fortunately (or not, depending…) my hubby is a Dr and can give me the low down on all kinds of things one might not normally be privy to–all anonymously, of course. He is an intensivist so he sees all kinds of male and female ‘down there’s', and usually the kind that haven’t been ‘prepared’ to be seen by a bunch of medical people. By ‘prepared’ I mean waxed or shaved or trimmed or whatever their grooming habit is before going into hospital. On the Intensive Care Unit there’s a lot of people who didn’t plan on going in to hospital that day, i.e. people brought in from car accidents. (That reminds me of the only advice I can remember my Great Grandma giving me–always wear clean underwear in case you get into a car accident!)
So ‘normal’ ranges (of size/shape of different parts of the anatomy, and hair styles–or not) include a lot, according to him. It may look bigger than before because the way the skin on the area changes. The actual opening most likely is a similar size to before after only 2 kids unless you had a major disruption down there. You will have heard of the pelvic floor exercises of course, those strengthen the muscles around the area to make it all tighten up a bit, and they give a bit more control of the area during sex (I highly recommend this if you dont already use it!).
Also, avoid porn mags (many girls in those have had plastic surgery anyway), but dont worry about Googling images of ‘normal vaginas’. That wont get you into trouble. Dr’s have to Google images of things all the time for research, reports, presentations, etc.
Hope this helps…!
I am a nurse so am just saying they are all shapes and sizes. Sometimes just best not to look!
LMAO! Sorry for your pain though.
LMAO-how shocked were you when he said that?
Hmmm seems i was the only one promoting the magazines. LOL! Shame on me really.
A suggestion….maybe a spot of topiary on the lady garden would take one’s eye away from Wookey Hole beneath?
I’ve just read this bit: “looks around furtively biting lip”…
If this is the case, maybe you’re a tad slacker than I thought…;-)
My husband informs me that there is no difference before and after children. Bless him! I still get pain from where my stitches were, I’m wondering if the docs put in an extra stitch for my husband.
I can recommend this book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Story-Opening-Pandoras-Box/dp/0753817764/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268035603&sr=8-1
a) because it is fabulous, and
b) because it contains photos of real vaginas, and
c) because it was written by my SIL
Oh Trish did make me laugh.
I have no idea. But, I do know that following a bath I need to make sure everything is emptied properly before getting dressed, and if I cough I must brace myself before doing so in order not to unexpectedly eject things that are best saved for the bathroom.
Having kids, so not good for your self esteem! x
DO NOT GET ANY MAGS!!! Do not compare yourself to ‘professional’ ladies who have probably had a designer vagina op and not given birth.
Mine has changed a lot, definitely more hmm what’s an appropriate word, ‘flappy’ since giving birth, should do more kegals (squeeze) but there is only one person who ever sees it and he’s never complained so there are plenty more body parts to get anxious about.
Magazines are ok for other things… just not comparing! I prefer erotic fiction for the ‘other things’ though…
My chum had her tuppy reconstructed recently – 6 weeks recovery. She had it done privately. She’s really pleased she did. My gran Betty, (four children) spent her latter years sat on a towel, having a little dribble when she coughed or sneezed. I am virgin fresh, two C-sections and vag like a vice but I would urge you not to leave your wizards sleeve dangling. I’d work on tightening it back up. Another has some kind of hairy mary barbell system – insert into gash and lift 10 times. It’s no so much now but when we are older we’ll be wishing we had not let it loosen up as we sit in puddles of our own wee.
This has made me laugh so much I nearly choked on my orange juice. And I misread your opening gambit and thought you say ‘my mum’..
They’re probably all standard til we start popping out babies, tearing them, getting them cut and stitched up. Hell, they’re probably even more standard til we start sticking bits of the male anatomy up them.
Ha ha!! I have just realised can you imagine if she had it reconstructed publicly!! Well to be honest I think mummy tuppy nip tuck is better than uncontrollable senile urination. I have already noticed my wee is ripening. I am on the turn into older lady. I am thinking Heather is ready to confront her lady bits – get the mirror out and have a good look around. I love the peach image. Will you let us know Heather – what you decide to do. Will you have a firk around, or just not look?
There’s a vlog we don’t need to see Heather! On the subject of mags- what you take into the sauna is your business but I’m not sure it would much more than make you wonder a) how? b)What is that she’s using? and c)is it meant to be that colour?
Personally, after 3 VBs and stitches and tears, I’d say that yes of course things change. There’s the concertina effect that was never there previously and I can *ahem* empathise with Brit in Bosnia’s bathtime routine, but on the whole ‘It is what it is’. I’m not sure I’d consider vaginoplasty even if it were financially viable, but having googled it to check my spelling I’ve seen images that I really didn’t need to see at 10.39 on a Monday morning…
xx
Well without being too frank things were a mess after a botched up forceps delivery and subsequent infection with child number one. There was talk of requiring some further surgical repairs. I’ve had two children since then and been stitched again another two times. Amazingly the subsequent stitches have repaired things so I’m actually fairly happy considering I’ve had three babies. I’m fanatical about doing pelvic floor exercises and that helps tighten everything in that area I think. Boring, but true. Someone else did a blog post on this a few months ago but I really can’t remember who it was.
I can’t beat the comments already here – laffing my ass off, legs crossed. Suffice to say I think labia are like ear-lobes – ya know – keep on growing til the day we die. It’s what support tights are for, to stop little old ladies tripping over.
Bloody hell if I laugh much harder I am going to pee myself!
No such thing as normal I would think. I got sewn up too tight after having youngest boy, ha ha, be glad you have the opposite!
I think I looked after watching the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. And then after reading The Vagina Monologues. So I had a kind-of idea what it looked like. After I had my daughter, though, things felt weird, still, six weeks later. I asked my midwife why, and she said that my vagina was sagging. Great. So I had to take a look. I was sort of horrified. I don’t know that I remember *exactly* what it looked like before, but this was certainly different. It looked like it was trying to fit back into that space, and struggling to do so.
But things feel normal, so I guess she scrunched herself up good enough.
It is a shame that we aren’t more comfortable looking at the ins and outs, ay?
Ooh, I think that is normal. But you can get it back to a previous state with exercises. They totally work!
Thank you for writing such an honest post. Now I want to hear more about these fumbles in the dark!
now the opinion of the expert… LOL!!!!
u should never ever EVER compare it with the ones in the porn mags (or inapropriate words on google)…
I once saw this exposition of a guy that did all his artwork using photos and silicone / plaster casts of lady bits… and NONE looked like the other… it was an awesome thing I thought…
there’s one thing in the world that we know for certain… everything changes… everything changes…
My wife recommends daily pelvic floor exercises. In fact I’d like to recommend them too. They really work!
As for things moving… bizarrely a second son moved things back to where they were from when they were moved by the first son. I love him even more for that.
Oh you make me laugh Heather, some of the subjects you blog about.
My personal downstairs department has been out of action for several years due to involuntary celibacy, and I fear it may well have healed over
Here’s a story for ya…
When my second child was born in October 08, I refused an episiotomy and tore badly. Very badly. The doctor had to patch me back together. After week or so, I decided to use a mirror to check my stitches (I had previously examined my bits). I was surprised to find a large white patch down there. As in, dead as a doorknob white. I went to the dr. the next day and found out that the color was from where she had to quilt me back together and it “should” heal fine. And, that I probably shouldn’t have looked, lol. Well, a year later, my color has returned and my bits are just as strange-looking as before. I’ve found that it is best to have some hair to cover things up a bit. What he can’t see won’t scare him!
Gosh, this certainly has been an education! All I can add is that men seem quite pleased to see our bits, whatever they actually look like x
I’m sure your’s will have changed post children but have no more words of wisdom than that I’m afraid. At least we can recognise a woman’s ‘bits’ though. A few months back I was at an art gallery looking at a picture of some ‘lips within facial lips’, standing behind some teenage boys looking quizical and saying, ‘what’s that in her mouth, is it a nut or something?’ when they probably would have given a anything to take advantage of the possibilities for filth and innuendo.
LOL
Unclosed! haaaaaaaaaaaa
I think they have a surgery called a ‘lipectomy” but I dunno.
Regardless of it being ummm unclosed it is still undoubtedly the greatest most coveted creation ever.
LMAO *dead*
Never a dull moment on your blog eh?
I think everyone has covered all arguments, aspects and notions.
Definately agree with the squeeze whenever you remember to and no to the porn mags as we are all made differently.
This post is just AWESOME. But, step AWAY from Dr Google, and PUT DOWN that porno mag. I looked at mine, before and after, and in short, it’s VASTLY different. But then, if I’m gonna push two medium sized adults out my crotch, *pause for applause* then yeah, I’m gonna suffer a little stretching…and I’m allowed it, dammit. And I think it’s VERY normal.
Unless you’re tripping over yourself, then you might wanna go see the doc. Just sayin’.
Oh God Heather – I knew the comments on this fabulous post would be worth checking out, and by god I was right! (I have nothing to add to the wisdom the previous commenters have dispensed, btw – other than the fact that I am now sitting here saying to myself ‘and the lift goes up – 2 – 3 – 4, and the lift goes down – 2 – 3- 4…)
Well I keep hoping someone might tell me, but the football’s on again.
CJ xx
ha ha ha.
so they are all different then, good to know.
ha ha ha, mingeprints! That is so funny! I have all sorts of images in my head now to do with ink pads…
He never did! Jeez, what a thing to drop on you like that! ha ha ha
they have plastic surgery on their vaginas? Seriously? bloody hell, you learn something new everyday!
and you pretend to be such a shy and retiring type!
Same here, i’m much more of a words person than a visual one.
What you mean like trim it into the shape of a heart and dye it pink or something?
ha ha ha, I have no words, can’t stop laughing to type properly! I think I love you!
oooh, i shall take a look, thanks x
I’m not so bad with the laughing thing these days unless i’m already in need of a pee but I still have the after bath problem! Bloody kids…
well quite, it’s enough that we are supposed to worry about our sagging boobs and stretchmarks without adding another to the mix. why nobody ever warned me about this though, i’ll never know!
she did? I have obviously led a very sheltered life as i didn’t even realise you could have them done until recently! I can’t imagine wanting to go through that pain. child birth was bad enough! The barbell – well seriously, can you imagine?! think I’ll stick to the keckles or what ever they are calleds
ha ha ha, i will keep you informed although i’m hedging towards the simple but free exercises – do not fancy peeing on a towel when I’m older!
good point!
ha ha ha, you are all cracking me up with these comments! I am half tempted to go and google it myself just to see now…
I wound’t worry, i don’t think i could a. face having one done in the first place and b. feel any need to vlog about it if I did.
all worked out well in the end then, eh? Jeez that must have been a hell of a thing to contemplate when recovering form the fist birth!
and another wonderful image that is going to haunt me till the day i die. thank you for that
ooh, ouch. yikes!
It is a shame. i would love to have some before pics to compare it with, if for no other reason than idle curiosity.
another time, my dear, another time. when ever I’m faced with nothing to write about I always have them in reserve!
so says the self admitted expert. well, that’s good enough for me. I shall have to go and look for this art . although I am slightly worried about what google will give me to trawl through finding it.
and if your kids ever question why you have a favourite – they’ll only do it once.
Ecky thump! although i have been assured there is the possibility of getting plastic surgery done down there, so never fear, eh? Jeez, the things some people do…
Good point, will keep it over grown and hedgerow like – he’ll never be able to tell the difference!
You’ve got a point there! they never seem disappointed when you take your pants off, do they?
ha ha ha.
and we’ve never even met *blush*
ha ha ha
lipectomy sounds terrifying! I’m far too afraid to even google that one!
well, you know, I like to keep the place entertaining
will keep squeezing – maybe i’ll have to do a follow up post in a few months.
tripping over them, ha ha ha! I have some terrifying images in my head after reading these comments!
The comments on here far outstripped the post. I have an ache in my side from laughing so much!
Bugger!
Or not, i guess.
Never, ever compare yourself to porn mags! Don’t do it!
I will admit that I have no idea how much it changes after kids, being kid free, but everyone’s is different.
The Embarrassing Bodies is probably worth a look, they even have a vulva gallery: http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/galleries/vulva-gallery/
Be brave, click the link!
consider it clicked
My best friend and I were having a conversation about our lady parts only the other day. Oddly there was no drink involved and I have no idea how the conversation started. What I do know is; I said something along the lines of, ‘Mine(meaning my Vagina) is no longer the rosebud it once was, giving birth has ruined it!’. My friend then told me something that I didn’t know but made me feel so much better about it ‘Well, mine has dropped too – gravity and age has made it ugly’ My friend has had no kids. So yay…whether you have kids or not your girly love snood changes with me, and boo, whether you have kids or not your happy patch is gonna get UGLY.
I don’t know whether to feel happy that it happens to all of us or scared
that its gonna get worse with age!
I delivered my daughter vaginally with the help of FORCEPS! if you can still believe they are being used now a days. It hurt like Hell, Not something I did alot of reading to prepare me for it. So you can imagine the “damage” that was done. I guess I want to say, No you aren’t alone.
Phew! With my first they tried forceps and failed and then used
that vacuum cup thing on her head. I couldn’t sit down for weeks!
Hang on a sec let me get a mirror… LMAO That’s to funny! I thought they all looked like a stack meat sandwiches.
*wink*Eeee you are a brave lass! Shall we book a visit for some Vag rejuvination together?
Well just imagine how paranoid you would be if suddenly you were single and the men you are potentially dating are shagging much younger/no kids fannies??? I am telling you – I have left sleep over this issue!
I watched a documentary on bbc America a few months ago talking about lady-bits and the increase of vaginal surgery – one of the recommendations was arming yourself with a mirror and getting ‘intimately acquainted’ so to speak, with your own personal love garden.
DO NOT DO THIS!
I still haven’t recovered. The only advantage in having a slightly older fanny is that there are more creases to tuck bits in that are hanging out. I kid you not.
Mind you, I have to say – the couple of men that I have slept with don’t seem to mind. Although, realistically, what would they say??
well i got a glance of mine whilst i was trimming and the first thing that i thought is that it looks a lot older than it used too. Also i think mine looks darker than it did before the babies.
After having 4 vaginal births my hubby says it doesn’t look any different, i only had stitches with my 1st so i’ve been lucky.
I think having babies has actually improved my sensitivity ‘down there’ which is always a bonus
Well that was the funniest 10 minutes I’ve spent reading those comments. What a hoot! My favourite must be Tim’s!
vag rejuvenation! ha ha ha, could be an interesting retreat…
i know, poor Tim! Got to love him for daring to comment -and so early in
the morning as well!
now that i really think about it, i’m not even sure guys would notice that
much. When was the last time any of them noticed you’d had you hair cut, or
lost weight, of got a new dress? What on earth makes us think that in the
middle of passion riddled haste they are going to care what it looks like?
Yes, mine seems darker too! more sensitive, im not sure…perhaps, now that
i think about it….
They actually do it over here ya know! Lol woould love to be a fly on the wall at that doctors appt. Um… yeah could you take a little off here and tuck this! Great! oh go on then give it a face lift! Lol
that’s just so wrong on so many levels. i mean this post was somewhat
tongue in cheek – i can’t imagine really ebing so worried about what it
looked like that you’d go to such levels.
I agree! I’m quite happy with my little venus fly trap however abnormal they may be. lol it was a great post
being a little ummmm all baggy and stuff (Shit!! did I just say that?) just means we are fully fledged women now and no longer girls. So longs it still works and ummm feels erm nice ??!!?? then, hey who cares what it looks like? lol
I snorted out loud reading this – it gave me a giggle. You really looked in a mirror? I’ve no idea, sorry, but I did learn some interesting things reading through the comments: porn models have plastic surgery “down there”? Wow. Had no idea. Bloody lunatics. My only advice – kegels kegels kegels!
sheesh, the things you find yourself admitting on my blog comments, eh? lol.
I know! Plastic surgery on your down there bits! insane!
Oh Heather, I’ve been reading this with a cup of tea and I’ve lost count of the number of mouthfuls I’ve nearly spat out laughing! Between the post and the comments, it’s been a hysterical start to the morning!
the comments are hilarious, aren’t they!
9.3.2010 8.41 Disqus <>:
be brave woman!!!
I shall let you go on your self discovey journey! LOL!
Yes indeed LOL!!! I love your blog it allows me to say things I’d never dream of saying on my own lol.
Glad to be of service, my dear!
I’m still laughing at Morse and the mingeprints!
I haven’t actually had a proper look at mine, I’m too scared it will resemble some kind of fanny of Frankenstein after the stitches. It definitely feels different though, might take a before & after photo next time!
Gosh, Heather, after 3 attempts to read your entry I’ve finally managed! I think my browser was trying to censor your page!!! Anyway, I’ve never had your doubts before but you made me start. I had two C Sections so I don’t think I have changed terribly much down there. BUT what about age? Maybe we should all meet up and compare. Woww, that would be a sight, woulnd’t it? Ciao. A.
PS Thanks for your kind words in my last post.
This has made me laugh I have to say. You cover everything here don’t you. I have nothing to add really. But has been an interesting read xx
like to keep it nice and varied, you know?
Disqus <>:
Designer Vaginas are the latest hit for plastic surgeons. Truly!
Or you could try vaggazaling… I know I’d never heard of it either until I read http://www.organicmotherhoodwithcoolwhip.com/subBlog.asp?bID=122
lol. I’m waiting for an op on mine so I’m saying childbirth can definitely change them – at least that’s my story and i’m sticking to it
Sometimes a Caesarean is not so bad after all… Did you know that they recommend a C-section if your first birth was one? I don’t think I’ll argue with them.
you stick to that story!
there are some advantages to it i think! lol
Um, uh… Uh, we, uh, stutter, stammer, have, no um, whattya call ‘em, uh, kids. Um, nothing to add. Uh, I am sure you’ll, I mean it, it’ll, uh no, not it, you, uh, hmm, you’ll be fine, um, I guess. Sorry, I’m American. B-B-Bye.
OMG you are amazing, hee hee. And having popped out two kids and been cut, torn, stitched and had scarring so tight I needed physiotherapy on my vagina, I can categorically state that mine is definitely not the same. I’m sure it used to be more closed and, well, more symmetrical. It’s kind of annoying but we’re all different anyway so I suppose what looks weird to us probably looks pretty normal.
Another place you can have a look at some varieties is on the Embarrassing Bodies website, http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/galleries/vulva-gallery/?image=586
Someone gave me this link before and they are all freakishly bald!
Physiotherapy on your vagina sounds like an interesting story, jeez, that
must have been a excruciating – both in a pain and an embarrassment kind of
way. Unless of course you got some hot young chap….
oh Johno, bless your cotton socks.
Nope, a woman in her 50s who would stick her fingers in and tell me to
squeeze. She also called in a load of students as my bits reacted correctly
when I coughed. Apparently you don’t see that much anymore. So so proud.
;D
it must have been such a proud moment for you!
I have no words. None. Except maybe ohmygawd!
lol!
Oh my crikey. I clicked on the link to the vulva gallery. I sincerely wish I hadn’t. Mine doesn’t look anything like any of them. I must be some sort of freak. Sob.
It was. I rock. ;D
What a great post! Another reason we should all be blogging-so we can talk about the things we’re too embarrassed to mention in real life. And some hilarious comments!
I’m a doctor and have seen more vaginas than I have ever really wanted to. Did a gynae job once – dear God, I could hardly even think about my own when I came home in the evenings without feeling a little queasy. What I can confirm is what everyone’s already said – we’re all different down there, both before and after kids.
Personally, I’ve had one baby with a giant head who was turned the wrong way around so needed vacuum and forceps along with episiotomy to get him out. Ended up with 3rd degree tear – one of the worst – and was six weeks with infections before it healed and pain improved. Got a little physio which helped, along with Kegels. Was terrified about having sex again as I felt so battered and bruised after it all. But eventually we got there and bizarrely, with all the rearranging, things, ahem, work much better than before. I’ve seen lots of miserable outcomes after experiences like mine so I am always grateful about how things turned out. Next time, I’ll give serious consideration to an elective C-section.
Sorry for being so serious but actually it’s something I’ve wanted to talk about and haven’t been able to so thank you Heather!
any time, I find the whole subject oddly fascinating. I can’t imagine a job
where one spends ones day staring at other womens vaginas – what different
lives we all lead, eh?
oh yeah, you’re like 10 shades of awesome!
not laughing. sorry. well, maybe a bit. but only because I thought exactly
the same thing!
Post child birth you defo have a different shaped fanny. In my case I call it a fat fanny and have been paranoid about dating again after 20 odd years with one person appreciating my own vaggy peculiarities. It’s good to know there are fanny misshapes out there too.
Snort.
it is so good to hear that we are all the same way, and it’s not just me.
Funny the things we feel self conscious about really – especially since I
can’t imagine any man of the planet getting to the point where he’s taking
your knickers off to suddenly stop and be all ‘oh no, that’s just not a
pretty enough fanny for me’
Jeez, did you expect such an in-depth reaction? I really have laughed out loud. You’ll have Cosmopolitan journo’s snooping round here for a months worth of articles! Thank god for blogs, can you imagine having this discussion on the school playground? Brilliant.
Ha ha, maybe I should charge them all commission! lol
Absolutely brilliant, has cheered up my rather shitty day!
Glad to be off assistance. And sorry you are having a shitty day. ((hugs))
Yes of course they change post babies – dramatically so. HOWEVER, after many years of pilates type exercises, whilst it’s better not to ever look at it, the muscle strength can be as good if not better. Brave you to write about such things and what a great response!!
I shall keep squeezing!
That made me chuckle and then start to worry about my own nether regions! LOL And, for a minute there I was bit worried it was going to be just vlog it post!!
ha ha ha, even I have boundaries!
I’ll never forget the first time I seen an episiotomy up close… me the relatively new theatre nurse and some poor also unprepared medical student… watching a forceps delivery for the firs time.
Nobody told us what was going to happen…
when *that* moment came – we just shot each other “ARGH WHAT THE F*********************K!????” looks!
I’ll never forget the first…
I had my wee boy by emergency c-section in the same theatre… and I tell ya, at that moment in time – I was glad I’d not had a vaginal delivery for the first time!!
it’s still horrible seeing it done – then sewn back up. *shudders*
I’ve not really thought though much about what it must be like years down the line…
but don’t look at porno’s… they just make you feel bad about yourself all over – let alone their perfect vaginas!
