Body changes
Has anyone else noticed after giving birth that there vagina feels a little heavier š canāt tell if I have a UTI or Thrush but I know I feel different. I donāt have any pain while going to the toilet I just have a heavy feeling kind of like I havenāt emptied my bladder fully. Iāve never had a UTI or anything before so unsure if it have one or not the same with thrush. Sorry for the TMI. I did get stitches after birth but that all healing fine and Iāve had them checked and no issues. Iām just a bit confused with my body and what it might be.

@Carmen such a strange feeling! Glad im not the only one who feels it haha
Itās your pelvic floor muscle! Iāve been having the same (5 weeks pp) and I spoke to my midwife about it, she said to keep going with the pelvic floor exercises as Iāve been leaking wee a bit too, not like Iām weeing myself but it just drips a bit out onto my pad š she said it will subside in a few weeks/months and is really common as your muscles will have weakened slightly from the vaginal delivery
I agree it's likely the pelvic floor, it'll be weak ATM so the exercises help

Following this thread because this is the best way I'd describe what it's felt like for me too (now 7 weeks postpartum and that "heavy" feeling is no longer daily but still surprises me from time to time) - hoping to have my stitches checked by the GP soon though the midwives assured me they were healing well and I didn't have any obvious swelling.
