too embarrassed to ask

If anyone can help, I will be soooo grateful. I have been unable to wear a tampon ever since I gave birth over 4 years ago. It leaks and will not stay completely in when I move a lot (which as a Mom to 2 kids is all the time). I've tried to research this online, but most sites deal with incontinence which hasn't been a problem for me. Has anyone else ever had this happen or have any advice? I really wasn't crazy about my OB & am too embarrassed to ask him.

Welcome fl-capemama.


Since this has started happening since the birth of your children, my guess is your pelvic muscles are weak or you have prolapsed uterus from delivery.


The first thing that you can do is begin doing Kegel exercises.
