Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin

I'm finding that I'm getting really wet during sex, and it's not as pleasurable for us. Is this normal? What could be causing it, and are there any remedies or things we can try to manage this?

Excessive wetness during sex can be normal for some people, but if it's causing discomfort or reducing pleasure, it could be due to factors like hormonal changes, anxiety, or over-stimulation. It's important to communicate with your partner and consider using a water-based lubricant if dryness is an issue. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for a more tailored solution.
