I found with the others, I really didn't get the drive back until my AF cycle was also back. But "fortunately" for me it was back at 3 months!

I didn't really start getting any sort of drive for my own sake until Xavier was about 3 months old... same with Josiah, actually. Its funny, but the more frequently us women get some, the more we start to want it! My midwife said that sex is a really good way to exercise the PC muscles, as you tend to tighten them during orgasm.

Of course, I'm a shocker and since I didn't have stitches after delivering either of the boys we were back having sex once the swelling went down - about 7 days later!

Yep same here - absolutely no drive most of the time.

I didn't have stiches this time so I think it would be all good to go from every other respect - just feel a bit nervous I guess. He would probably be the same as yours Kellz and not notice anything different - esp after making him wait so long...]]> Tue, 01 May 2007 08:50:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7096&PID=138337&title=personal-question-pc-exercises#138337 <![CDATA[Personal question - PC Exercises : I suprisingly had sex only 3 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7096&PID=138321&title=personal-question-pc-exercises#138321 Author: Kellz

I noticed that I am def not as "strong" down there as I used to be I'm too scared to have SEX with the hubby cos it might feel too weird so I keep putting him off by saying that I haven't sorted the contraception yet.

Obviously I don't hav that issue having had a c-section but have thought about trying these?. I know of plenty of people who swear by them. I went to a Joanna G party (which is were I got mine) and the lady talked of having the same problem, she found things got a whole lot better using these for several hours a day. When she started using them she couldn't even keep them in properly!!!!

Could be worth a shot. ]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7096&PID=137701&title=personal-question-pc-exercises#137701 <![CDATA[Personal question - PC Exercises : i remember thinking mine were...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7096&PID=137688&title=personal-question-pc-exercises#137688 Author: Bizzy

Okay this is really TMI in a big way.

I seem to have a *ahem* big gaping hole from pushing out the last baby but it hasn't closed as much as I thought it would.... at least it's not as closed as I dimly recall from after baby #2. Is this normal? Am I just expecting things too soon? I'm not having any problems with incontinence. Here's the TMI bit... I can't "hold on" to my finger. Is that bad?
