i have had this weird feeling since about a week pp. it feels almost like fluid is swelling there or a bruise is being pushed on from the inside out. its up high like by my clitoris, sorry TMI i know, it used to be very painful and frequent, like any time i stood up from weeks 2-5 pp but now is just pretty uncomfortable and only happens occasionally. i feel it when i stand esp or squat or kneel down, also if i sit on the toilet, it really seems that gravity can be unkind. sitting or lying down makes it go away. the sensation really reminds me of pushing (which also makes it worse, again TMI but it even is made worse just from peeing) i just want to put counterpressure on it cause it hurts. i didn't do that aweful hold-your-breath-count-to-ten-giv
e-your-self-a-hernia-type-pushing
,
i pushed naturally but did anyone else feel like this? my son is 5months and at least twice a month this sensation returns. is something wrong? i told my doc but they brushed it off , though that was at 2months pp. its very frustrating (and embarrassing as its nearly immpossible not to grab my crotch and jump up and down in pain after standing or walking for very long with this pressure) is there anything i can do? at least tell me i'm not the only one...please

Well, I can't help u at all. I'm only a lil over 2 weeks pp. But I have exactly what u r describing. I felt stretching and pressure there when I pushed, I had an epi but also did the push when I had a contraction, not count to ten thing. My clitoris is painfully swollen, altho everything looks prepregnancy again and it hurts to sit, pee, kneel down. I've tried like counter pressure its pretty impossible b/c it just feels swollen. I have an appt Friday maybe I can get some sort of answer, I'll post if this thread doesn't go away, lol. They tend to do that sometimes.
