I just need some kind of commiseration here or something... I had my baby prematurely at 26 weeks three weeks ago. (My birth story is here: http://pregnant.livejournal.com/17487314.htmlWe started having sex again just a few days after she was born. (It was like I never gave birth, so I was ready way soon.) We've been using condoms, and I'm ( Read more... )

Logan Alexander was born on Tuesday, July 13th at 10:35pm weighing 8lbs 12oz and measuring 21 inches. He is perfect.

The reason I've been so slow to update is because he was born via c-section and recovery from the surgery has been difficult, to say the least. But we are home and settled and I can finally share my birth story...

I've had a cold cone biopsy that lead to scarring on my cervix. I just recently read that you can rub the scarring away ( Read more... )

Has anyone had issues with not healing properly after having a baby? Anyone that has gotten or consulted about reconstructive surgery?
