Hi ladies me again sorry.

So I'm 8 weeks post opp from a rectocele now and Iv been feeling ok for the last 2 weeks i even went to the seaside on Sunday with the hubby and the kids. But for the last day it's gone a bit tender down there again and it feels like iv got a mini tampon up there (sorry for the description but not sure else how to describe the feeling). Me and the hubby have attempted sex a couple of times and was successful but did hurt a bit towards the end 🙈 but that was a week ago . I'm just a bit worried now though that I may have done something.

Any reassurance or guidance welcome.

Hope your all getting there and feeling better.

Healing hugs.xxx

      ok thank you Topsi, energy levels and emotions are a roller coaster for us, but keeping up with how everyone is coping is very encouraging.

      Love and hugs to all the ladies out there xxx

      Me too Topsi, babysat my grandson earlier this week - husband did all the lifting and carrying etc. I was exhausted when son, wife and child left - couldn't wait for them to go really!! And it's not like it was hard work. Also the threat of going back to work next week is hanging over me and making me feel tired before I even start!

      I know how you feel I'm exhausted and find things that I wouldn't normally heavy. It's really frustrating to cause I can't pick my 4 year old daughter up when she needs anything. My 6 year old son is good though I just wish I could do more.

      Hope you start to feel better soon.xxx

    I am 7 weeks post op from a rectocele repair. I was wondering how long everyone is planning to have off work, I'm due back next week. I don't feel ready, but feel extremely guilty about taking longer off. Still feeling tightness and as tho I have a tampon inside which is wonky. The more I do the more I feel it. x

      I'm not planning on going back to work until 12 weeks but I'm a housekeeper at our hospital which is a heavy job I think you need to listen to your body and if you don't feel ready then don't go back as you could end up worse off xx
