A baby deserves it. To me I'll devote all to my baby except the beauty of a recovered body figure. My hubby is a well-educated man so he may respect and understand my choice to take family with babies as the first important thing in life.

Whether or not your vagina returns to its original size depends on a number of factors: the size of your baby, the number of children you've had, and whether you do Kegel exercises regularly. After giving birth vaginally, it's normal for the vagina to be larger than it was before, and this effect generally is more pronounced after the birth of a large baby. (Nine pounds definitely qualifies as a large baby!) This is caused by relaxation of the pelvic floor musculature.


These muscles will lose their tone with each successive birth, although pelvic floor exercises known as Kegels can help you tighten them up.

If you haven't already done so, I strongly recommend that you begin to do Kegels. Kegels involve perineal tightening and help to restore the tone of the muscles that surround the opening of the urethra, vagina, and anus. Since this includes the muscle that you use to stop and start the flow of urine, you can check if you've identified the right muscle by testing your Kegel technique while urinating — if you can stop the flow of urine when tightening, then you know that you're contracting the correct muscle. But don't actually do your exercises while urinating, just use that as a check of your technique.

As with any exercise, start doing Kegels a few at a time, a number of times each day. As your muscles start to feel stronger, gradually increase both the number of Kegels you do each day and the length of time you hold each contraction. Do the Kegels in sets of ten and try to work up to three or four sets about three times a day. Some women find that associating the exercise with certain activities (for example, while stopped at a red light, talking on the phone, or nursing the baby) helps them remember to do their Kegels. Besides improving vaginal tone, pelvic floor exercises help prevent urinary incontinence later in life

This is somewhat true. My husband can not tell a difference after the birth of our son but I also do a lot of Kegal exercises to help tighten the muscles. As the feeling goes, I have no changes. I was torn pretty bad and it hurt and sometimes still hurts after 15 weeks but I still enjoy sex.

Right after the birth the vagina is definitely pretty lose...but it pretty much goes back after a little while..just do some kegel excercises and everything will go back to normal...

Kegels have become a habit with me while watching TV or driving and my husband always laughs when he hears men talk about their wives giving birth..ETC...it doesnt have to be that way he tells them...

Yes it's true. You can do kegal exercises to tighten it up a little but it will never be the same again and if you have a cesarean section your tummy will never be flat again because they cut all of your stomach muscles.

Yes the vagina does become loose but you can help it tighten up again by doing pelvic floor muscles see this website for more information http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/articles/pelvicfloormuscles.html

that is NOT true. your CERVIX is never the same, but that doesn't effect the tightness or feeling.

I dont think there is much difference. There are exercises you can do to tighten up.
