Might be TMI - HELP- Vaginal Flatulance Post Natal !!

So… I have been a little concerned, and I don’t know if this is normal, my OB seems to think so, so I am just wondering If anyone else has experienced it.
I am 3 months postpartum and I have been having an issue with a lot of vaginal flatulence- and it is like at random times, not just bending over or whatever, and I haven’t had any sex at all since giving birth!
It’s really annoying, and concerning. It’s not loud or anything. Sometimes when I fart normally, it comes out my vagina too, but there was no sign of a tear or hole last check up!?!
Has ANYONE experience anything like this or heard anything? I could use someone to talk to about it! So embarrassing!
I was going to post anonymous cause I am embarrassed but screw that. Pregnancy and birth is just the most beautiful and GROSS thing ever. So whatever, we’re all adults.
Just don’t call me the #queefqueen or something like that LMAOOO!!
Thanks for reading!
💜💜

Is the gas rolling up the front when you pass it? I know if I sit funny and pass gas it sometimes rolls up the front which feels bizarre!

Girl you’re not alone.. I am experiencing the same thing 💕 I’m 4 months pp and I know my pelvic floor is weakened but I have no idea if that is why it’s happening!!!

lol “the front fart” I do experience that too as all women do hahahah. But no this is definitely something else. lol

Yeah by OB said I need to go to some Pelvic Floor PT! But like it is just so much, I literally have never had this issue before! So it’s been just a lot! Glad to hear I’m not alone!

I’m a pelvic floor PT and actually see this alot! Everyone can be different in their exact needs, but I would definitely recommend some pelvic floor PT. Reach out if you have any questions!

Any guesses?

I just had my 12 week scan today! Any fun guesses on the gender using the nub theory? 🥰

Emergency scan

Hi! I went to triage on Saturday night for reduced movement as I hadn’t felt baby all day. I was checked over with Doppler etc and sent on my way - midwife said everything was great.

I’ve just been called by the hospital that I’m booked in for an emergency scan and it’s just taken me by surprise. Has anyone else experienced this?

C section with a 2 Yr old

Please be honest how much of a struggle is this? I am worried, I'm currently 34 weeks but struggling to walk bc of my pelvis, it's already difficult having to run after her and with the tantrums etc
Any tips ??

How does everyone do it

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have a 3 year old and I can’t even get out of bed without being sick, can’t even stand for longer than 2 minutes, my toddler is basically living on snacks as I can’t get out of bed to cook, I can’t even take him to nursery I feel terrible, I’m only 8 weeks and have so much longer to go 😭

Birth plan

Debating between natural birth vs C section.
Labour lengths, recovery times afterwards, control involved in a c section, pregnancy again after c sections.. give me your experiences/opinions. 😊
(Also, if the hospital was 1.5 hours away would that affect your decision)

Early labour?

Im really unsure if what I’m having is the start of labour or just digestive pains? I’ve been getting sharp/crampy pains across my abdomen and back which come and go every 10/15 mins, not really typical period like pains yet but they are very noticeable. I feel like it’s been getting more painful since this morning, but at the same time I’m having diarrhoea and nausea. The only difference I’ve noticed is the pain is not going away after going to the toilet or position changes. I’m going to call triage but I thought to wait and see a few more hours. BTW I’m 37 weeks
