Sneezing or coughing after birth

Hey everyone, I’ve just given birth to a 8.2lb baby via forceps 10 weeks ago. I had an episiotomy and was stitched in theatre.

I’ve healed well but I have one issue, when I cough or sneeze and I am sitting down, it feels like a massive blow in my vagina m. To explain it better, it feels like my muscles are trying to contain the pressure from sneezing or coughing. Sort of like when you’re blowing a balloon up with a lot of force.

I’ve been to 3 physiotherapists, 2 paid for privately and 1 on the NHS and all 3 have agreed that I don’t have a prolapse. One of the physiotherapists also used a speculum to rule out prolapse.

All physiotherapists said I healed well and one said she couldn’t even tell I had a baby just by looking at my vagina. They also said I can perform kegals well.

So I don’t know why I still feel that pressure or a ‘blow’ like feeling when I sneeze or cough when I’m sitting down. I don’t feel it as much or if that not at all when I am standing up.

Has anyone else experienced this?
