Pain in cervix whilst having sex

Hi all

I am 19m pp, forceps delivery/episiotomy etc. Pelvic floor is slowly getting a bit stronger and any symptoms I had post birth cleared up. However the last couple of times I've had sex with my partner there has been pain when in deeper positions, this is new pain and has also caused bleeding. The only change is that I have lost a significant amount of weight recently. I've no idea if that has allowed a deeper penetration but I don't think it has.

I've got my smear in a few weeks but just wanted to see if anyone else has had these symptoms...I'm sure they have.

Can your cervix drop after vaginal delivery? Would I have noticed this before with other symptoms?

Any advice or similar experiences appreciated x

Hello. Yes, your cervix can drop after a vaginal delivery - I'm pretty sure that's a uterine prolapse. I think it's pretty common, and if it's mild you might not have noticed any symptoms. I personally felt a heaviness as a symptom, a bit like when a tampon dislodges.

Sorry, I realised I didn't offer any advice! I went to see a pelvic physio who made sure I was doing pelvic floor exercises correctly. Working on core body strength is also good. There are quite a few good Instagram accounts that offer support, so I'd recommend looking there, too, if you can.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

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. ??
