This is the first day I haven't bled in 11 weeks. (Since I've had Jack.) 1) birth 2) postpartum bleeding 3) iud from hell bleeding 4) period from hell. I'm not ready for sex, so not feelin' it. We'll see how long I can hold off without having to lie to H. I keep peeing tiny amounts. Wtf??
I have so many... I got, what I thought was, my first pp period at 8 weeks. It lasted several days and stopped. At 10 weeks it came back, but it is not much blood and a whole lot of mucus. I am so over wearing pads.
Second is that I tore through my anal sphincter and I feel like they sewed me up too tight or it doesn't stretch like it used to. It takes me so long to go and it all gets compacted or something and then I end up clogging the toilet every single time. Wtf, I have never had this problem. It doesn't make it any easier to go when the baby is screaming, dh is asking me how long I will be and my four year old keeps opening and closing the door. I just wasn't to poop in peace and with ease...

Ouch! ::hugs:: Yes, the mucous. It cometh here, as well. Pads can suck it.

+1 to pooping problems. That horrible painful thing that happened to me a few weeks ago keeps happening. I don't know how to fix it except take stooll softeners but then if I take too many it's like I'm peeing out of my butt. It hurts so much to poop and I bleed every time.
As for sex, H and I have had sex just about every day since I stopped bleeding two weeks ago.
Just had my 6w check and the doc said I still had visible stitches and no sex for another week or two. Music to my ears except it's DH's bday and he was so excited for me to be cleared. Poor guy. I'm so scared for sex (for it hurting) and have zero desire.
Also still have bleeding and hemorrhoids...pooping makes it worse, especially since I've never been regular in my life (no surprise this kiddo isn't either, poor thing).

Sometimes, right at the thought of "I might have to pee", my body decides that I need to go right now and I leak. Not just a few drops either. Kegels aren't doing shit.
Glad I'm not the only one having pain while pooping. Doc said its not a hemmorhoid at least...must be just a tear. It's been 8 weeks since I gave birth dammit!

+1 omg this what a pita!!! Or in changing W and think wow he peed a lot and my body decides it would like to join in the fun. Such bs!
My labia tore during birth. He sewed it up and frankly it doesn't look the same. This bugs me way more than I thought it would. Also, H and I haven't had sex yet. We barely find time to hug and kiss each other good night.

I just noticed that DH and I barely touch. He always makes a point to get hugs and kisses every once in a while and that's when I realize how little physical contact we have. It makes me sad. I miss him and feel so wrapped up in LO that I have zero room for him. He's being awesome about it all but I know it's been hard for both of us.
Anybody feel like their feminine odor is different?
+1 I feel like it's different and also stronger. Ugh. Probably because I've been either bleeding, spotting, or having discharge issues since my damn period came back.

DH is a very touch oriented person. Lately, I get so ragey whenever he touches me. I'll be trying to cook and he'll come up behind me and hug me really right and I want to stab him.
Ps no sex here. I'm sure that's pretty obvious though with the stabbing lol.

Had sex last night. It was worse than losing my virginity. I picked up lube. The warming kind. So I can focus on that rather than the pain. This sucks.

Same here. We had sex once but, as expected, it sucked for me. We've discussed doing it again it it's like LO knows and stays awake on purpose. DH calls him a little cock block. Lol awful, but true...

On post partum day 2 I felt like my body needed to poop and it got stuck halfway out. The gross part is that I used my finger to get it out. I basically disimpacted myself. It was disgusting but I felt so much better after. We haven't had sex yet. I want to but am nervous at this point plus by the time the baby goes to sleep at night I am ready to pass out.

Definitely need lube! But the warming kind just does not do it for me. My expectations were so low after my first delivery which required an episiotomy that this second time sex was amazing.

Tried sex the other night at 7 weeks pp. It hurt so bad that I had to stop. Does it get better??? I have no idea about my degree of tearing or healing since my "6 week" appointment is at 8 weeks (thanks, OB), but the OB nurse cleared me "so long as I wasn't having other symptoms".
I kinda hoped that at 7 weeks pp the grossest thing about me would be the baby spitup on my shirt, not the ridiculous postpartum dry skin, frizzy hair, hemorrhoids, and pain...

+1 to not having sex yet and being nervous to. I had a 3rd degree tear, then at my 6 week the midwife noticed I had some extra tissue growing from where the stitches were. Had to go back the next day to have the tissue cut off and cauterized (ouchhh) so I am nervous to try after that. I did premptively buy lube for when I am ready though.
Also +1 to painful bowel movements. Some of the larger ones cause a decent amount of bleeding too - to the point where the toilet water turns red. Scared me the first time it happened.
+1 to no sex yet. I feel weird about DTD while the baby is in the room and I'm afraid he'll wake up in the middle.
Also can we talk about how gassy you become while BFing. seriously, ugh.
Also my boobs used to be huge and perky and I loved them. Now they are sad and saggy. GDI.
Yeah we've messed around while A is in her PNP. I feel less weird about it than the dog being in the room...haha
Also only one of my boobs have grown. It's the better producer and it was always bigger. A little lopsidedness I could handle...this is ridiculous. It's like two different women contributed.
