We promise it has a happy ending.
Think about it – or don’t – when you give birth you literally push a human head through your nether region. And no matter how big or macho a guy is, his penis is not going to challenge the size of a babies noggin.
So it’s no surprise that your vagina goes through some change after you’ve given birth.
Some changes you may expect, but some you probably won’t – we promise in the end it’s good news. So here are the four things you may not expect to happen down their, post-baby.
1. It’s a desert down there.
A lot of our mums said that they were very dry down there after they had their babies. When asked about their post-baby vaginas they said there was dryness and that they went to the toilet more. One mum sad she was particularly dry when she was breastfeeding. You will probably stay dry until your hormone levels are back to normal.
2. You don’t have to worry about ‘that time of the month’ for a while.
A lot of mums won’t get their period after birth, especially while they’re breastfeeding. Our mums said that when they were breastfeeding their kids they didn't get their periods. One even said that she now gets annoyed when her periods come because she can't be bothered with it.
However another mum said her periods are now longer and heavier - so although you may not have anything when you're initially breastfeeding, your period may change when it does come back.
3. You’re sex life won’t be great in the beginning.
