Does anyone have any advice?

So I never had this problem after I had my other 2 babies but ever since I had my 3 month old, I have wetness down in my vagina 24/7, like I can't even wear sexy lingerie that my bf bought me or lacy panties that he bought me. I talked to my Dr and they said not to worry about it, it's nothing. It's really irritating and depressing. It has a weird smell to it also. It makes me honestly stink 24/7. I'm laying here tearing up about it as I'm writing this.

Unfortunately no advice but I somewhat have this problem ever since having my kiddo too and it has seemed to possibly gotten worse the past few months just more discharge than what seems normal. Mine doesn't stink but definitely has some sort of strong scent, though I think it isn't as strong to others as it seems to me. I'm thinking about bringing it up with my obgyn at my next appointment whenever that ends up being.

Hey is it possible you’re leaking a little urine? If you think it’s possible then maybe look into pelvic floor therapy! I only have one baby 7 months old but I’m experiencing a little leaking. It’s pretty minimal where I don’t really notice until I realize my underwear is damp. (Except recently during coughing fits then that’s just… not great) I got referred to pelvic floor physical therapy but haven’t started yet. If it’s not that then there’s also just some weird postpartum stink that goes on sometimes I feel like the first few months I was extra smelly which sucked but it’s better now.

yea its not urine. Doesn't smell like urine. I don't go back to my obgyn till April but I'm gonna maybe talk to my PCP about it, see what he says or thinks.

I’ve had this issue before my pregnancy and after it got worse and doctors told me the same thing. It never had a pee smell and I have a strong pelvic floor. It’s good because it’s your vagina just cleansing itself, but it can be annoying. Eat yogurts and healthy bacteria. Monitor what you eat and drink. Wear a cotton tiny liner pad. That’s really all

I agree!! Definitely need to look into what you're eating and possibly cleaning up your diet

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.
