Does your body ever feel normal after child birth? I had my baby a year and a half ago and still feel pain if I sit on a hard surface, can’t wear tight pants/leggings, or cross my legs. It was 6 months (with seeing a pelvic floor PT) before I could have painful sex.

I had a second degree tear on my labia, nerve damage, prolapse, and hernia. I couldn’t sit on a soft surface for 8 weeks. I am very small and had a big baby.

I just want to know if this is a normal experience. Do women just not talk about it? What has your recovery been like?
