gonna sound weird and prob TMI (sorry girls)

erm i know this sounds weird but..here goes:

my stitches are all healed up but i still feel like a donkey hoofed me down there...did anyone else feel as though things were in the wrong place after birth??
i feel as though stuff has moved down there..i cant explain this properly and i know it sounds odd but i feel as though things are different like lower down or something! i want my old bits back! they were comfy and this is not!

does anyone know what i mean? or am i just going mad?

i know what you mean.
Are you doing your pelvic floor ecercises? Start doing them really religiously everyday. You can do them while you're waiting at traffic lights or something. I used to do mine before i got out of bed and when i went to bed too.
Its worth doing them and you'll astart feeling normal again soon. Remember bubbas only three weeks old and you need 6 weeks to fully recover from the damage done to your delicate bits. I would say you don't recover completely from birth for a year or so.

I felt odd down below for a good 4 months, guess it takes so long for things to heal right again. I know that my clit area felt like it had been battered with a baseball bat for weeks (standing up after sitting for a while was such a challenge!).

Things will get easier, but it just takes time. I thought that I'd feel better after a couple of weeks. Now I know differently

yes kina thats exactly what it feels like..lol
thanks girls at least i know its normal..i keep forgetting its only been just over 3 weeks..i feel like i've been a mummy forever!

so it should start improving (i should do more pelvic floor exercises)
it just feels like effort! lol

ta very much..glad i'm not going mad

Mine was exactly the same & it took about 3 months for it to feel normalish again. Things still aren't right down there & it feels like i've been kicked in the belly sometimes & feels really tender esp. at the time of the month.

Give yourself a good 6 months (so my doc said at my then 8 week check up) but take it easy in the mean time, your bodies been through alot.
