When did you feel normal downstairs?

Hi ladies,

Had my second 5 days ago. And have forgotten when you feel normal down there?
I had an episiotomy and vacuum birth- had epidural and obvious a catheter. Shoulder dystocia occurred as my son was bigger than what they predicted (5.41kg) and I usually weigh 60-65kg prepreg weight. So bit of a shock.
I have bn trying to do my pelvic floor exercises and can't really feel if I'm doing them, when did u get that sensation back? Also when did you feel your sensation to wee and poo come back? I obviously go to the toilet both wee and poo but it doesn't feel like the same sensation. It weaker and I have to really think about whether I need to go. Sorry tmi.

I had my seond 3 weeks ago and he was alot bigger than expected as well. I also had an epidural and episiotomy. I am experiencing similiar difficulty. Had absolutely no sensation down there after birth , but some returned within a few days. Still not back to 'normal' though and can't remember when I was after my first.

I had my first baby 2 weeks ago, I didnt get the episiotomy but had a perenial tear and also quite a bad rip in my labia because she decided to come out with her hand by her face, also had the epidural..
I realised about 2 days ago that I was feeling relatively normal again smile
