Anyone still experience vulva pain

I’m almost 5 months PP and I still get woken from my sleep from the very painful Vulva pain. It only happens when I’m sleeping and it started after I gave birth. I was told it was gonna go away on its own, but it’s been 5 months.😭 has anyone gone through this? Help.

With my first daughter I had random sharp pains, pain with sex, and like a heavy dragging feeling is the only way I can describe it for like 8 months after she was born. I haven't experienced this at all with my second and I'm 4 months postpartum. Did you by chance get the epidural? That was the only difference between my two births, my first I had an epidural and experienced pain and my second I didn't.

I can't say for sure the epidural is what caused the pain, but just seems a little strange that I didn't experience it with my second after not getting the epidural

yes I got the epidural. I had an emergency C section. It’s like the feeling of restless leg syndrome, but in my coochie. 😩 my on said it was normal and it was supposed to go away between 6-12 weeks. That clearly doesn’t seem to be the case.

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
