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.

This happened to me during pregnancy. I was in the bathroom for a full hour. I almost called someone because I honestly thought I might die on the toilet.

ditto. That's when I started taking colace religiously.

Had sex last night, it was initiated after DH laughed to himself because we used to have sex all the time and be fun and now we go to bed at 9:30. I'm only 24, I needed to prove I'm not boring yet!

We had to go downstairs and do it on the couch in the living room because DD was still awake in our room.

[shellyr]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one in the no sex camp. I was cleared at 6 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago. I had a 3+ degree tear and I'm afraid. Add in the menopausal vagina from breastfeeding and it sounds like a whole lotta no fun.

@piedpiper07 have you tried anything by yourself? Female masterbation is often a taboo topic but I'm a huge advocate for it. I'd grab a mirror and reacquaint myself with my new vag

+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.

I was enjoying the fullness of new milk because my boobs were perky again...now supply has regulated and they're no longer perky anymore.

I call them my porn stars boobs. It's all fun and games until my supply regulates.

+1 This, except the hand mirror. DNW to see what's going on there.

[melohdy]

I sweat so so much more now. I don't think this happened with DD1.

I know it's still hot here, but this is ridiculous.

It took me 7 weeks to get the courage to look. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected

I've looked. Not the same but not awful by any means. +1 to masterbation I think that this may help my anxiety and them maybe H can get some. Otherwise it could be forever.

+1
I've started using H's deodorant

[layloo08]

6 week PP appointment tomorrow and we had sex last week. Didn't want to at first but after 45 minutes of foreplay and lube, it wasn't that bad. My incision site was really sore afterwards though

[oopsiedaisies]

skinandbones haha! Same! I told my H he'll miss the port star boobs when they're saggy again...it happened too soon!

[shannonabigail]

I have some of O's butt paste on my leg crease rash.

[skinandbones]

Has anyone had hair loss yet? I remember having some around 6 weeks pp last time but I'm now almost 8 weeks and nothing.

[ampaints]

skinandbones I started having hair loss last week, 11 weeks pp. Fucking hair everywhere! Luckily I have a ton of hair so it hasn't been noticeable as of yet.

[smore]

+1 on the hair loss. It just started this week.

Body odor is different and stronger. I have to carry deodorant with me.

Oy Vey the pooping. It has always been an issue for me. Even if I making sure I am eating 24+ grams of fiber. I just feel like the stitches they gave me for 2nd degree tear were a little too tight.

I'm 10 weeks pp and still haven't looked. Too scared. H and I attempted sex at 8 weeks. Hurt like hell so we stopped. Hats off to all you mommas gettin some.

[DSHM13]

I looked. It wasn't that bad but I had waited for a few weeks. Is it weird that I waited til my appt today before I even considered masturbation? I felt like the whole thing was off limits haha

+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.

Add me to the poo problems. Wtf, I had some mild constipation during pregnancy and no hemorrhoids. Now, I am still having constipation issues with 'roids. I bleed every time I go. I freak myself out, even though I know it's not a GI bleed.

[ady45]

We've had sex a couple times. The first was awful. I only had minimal tearing and no stitches. I still felt really raw afterwards and the next day. Ouch. The last time we did it was only a quickie and I didn't get to finish. Other than that it felt better than the first time.

+1 to the off limits feeling.
I firsr looked while I was still healing. I do NOT recommend. But looked again later and everything was pretty back to normal.

[esgrunner]

I plan to never look again!

[Deleted]

Major constipation during pregnancy, thus was actually a syptmom that made me think I was pregnant before ibtook a test. It us better now.

Lost a ton of hair during pregnancy but not after.

Sex hurt the first time which thankfully was a quickie. The second time it was much better and we realized that I am more sensitive in a good way.

So gassy now. I fart all the time. I fart a lot when I am walking.

And my inner ear bleeds. It did this last time too. Its from the epidural. But I feel like it should have stopped by now.

So much that my tub is backed up and there is hair everywhere. I always shedded a lot before because my hair is really thick but super fine, but this is ridiculous.
