Inside of vagina 2 weeks after birth - please help!

***warning graphic picture***

I gave birth 2.5 weeks ago & I just now looked at my vagina. When I spread my lips apart and look inside to the opening, it looks like there are muscles protruding out of it. I can’t find anything online if this is normal? Nothing is hanging out, just when I open the lips and ‘down the tunnel’ it seems like my insides are coming out?!

I have had urethra pain, almost like I still have a catheter stuck inside me. It doesn’t burn when I pee, the actual pee hole itself feels bruised or almost like something is stuck inside of it. Also My uterus hemorrhaged during birth and I had to get a Bakri balloon to stop it.

My post partum checkup isn’t until next month, should I wait or schedule something now? Not sure if this is normal or not. Please help! 😢

*** I feel very weird posting this picture but I am really scared, like it’s prolapsing or something

I looked at mine today and it looks similar to this too. I cried and freaked out and was about to call the doctor. I couldn’t find anything online either about it either.

I’m 2 and a half weeks PP too! Mine looks exactly the same! And still some minor pain here and there but it’s completely normal! I’m sure our vag’s will be looking normal again in no time!🤞🏽 I was worried too hun I promise lol I kept telling my significant other to look at it and was telling him I think my vagina is falling out😂 from what I hear though.. it’s normal mama!

Looks normal, just swollen. Just try doing kegels and it'll help it feel normal soonerc

I had the exact same pain, it goes away on it's own. I had my baby seven weeks ago and everything down there looks alot normal. Just takes time for you to heal.
