Postpartum (down there)

Just curious how others are healing vaginally postpartum? I’m 10 weeks pp with my first baby and although my memory of what it looked like before pregnancy is a little foggy I KNOW it didn’t look like what it does now…which is to be expected, I’m sure, pushing a 9lb baby out of there. I notice a bulge inside the opening and did some research and think it may be a partially prolapsed bladder? It’s not actually coming out but just kind of blocking the entrance lol…does that ever go away? And I had a minor tear and can feel that it’s healed as it doesn’t hurt to touch/wipe anymore and the skin feels tougher now…but does that tear ever actually mend back together like before or does it just stay how it is? And this might be TMI but I do yoga and notice that in certain positions it will intake soo much more air than before and when I move into another it will queef soooooo loud 😭💀 I would be embarrassed to go to a public yoga class. Im assuming I need to strengthen my pelvic floor, (if you have ways to do that please let me know) I guess I’m just wondering if it ever goes back to what it looked like before, or at least close?

I had a prolapsed bladder and I was so humiliated and uncomfortable. I’m 7mo PP now and it’s completely gone. Just lots of kegals should help :) don’t strain when going to the toilet or lift things too heavy as that can make it worse!! EVERYTHING you are running into DOES go away!! Just give it time. I had these issues too and now at 7mo PP don’t have any of these problems x

I don’t know if this sounds weird but I feel like bubbles/air comes out mine I’m 3 months pp 🤣🤣 is that normal

Basically it's swollen from being destroyed by a huge head haha I would recommend seeing a pelvic floor physio as they can give you exercises based off your personal issues instead of generic advice. Additionally they'll help massage out any scar tissue.

Yeah I remember looking down there and being like wtf is this how it looked before orrr? I’m 3 months PP and it’s slowly but surely (somewhat) returned to how it looked pre birth. Just have to be patient hehe x

I'd recommend booking Mommy MOT or a check with pelvic floor physio. I had one and they tell you sooooo much and give you proper exercises depending on what's happening down there.

I would go see your gyno and just check to make sure everything's okay.
