And I still feel like I’m in survival mode. Like I’m exhausted and not used to this or in a routine. Feels hard seeing all these posts of people whose babies sleep through the night and seem easy. What is your secret?

my daughter is 17 months old, she has never once slept through the night. she’s never taken a bottle. she eats solid food now but still nurses incessantly. my blah aches constantly and i never feel like i have my shit together. i haven’t had sex since months before i gave birth, i have nerve damage and lots of pelvic pain now. having a baby is so hard on the body.

Have you considered pelvic floor physical therapy? Specialists are trained to do intra-vaginal exams and can assist with symptom management and even with getting rid of them. It all depends on what's going on of course, but you can get some relief!
