Q:Will my body ever be the same?

I'm 36 weeks pregnant.Recently I've been worrying about my vagina being stretched and disfigured after giving birth.Will it ever go back to normal?

A:This is a very common concern.After a vagina delivery,some women feel as though they will never regain their pre-pregnancy tone and shape in this area.However,your vagina will gradually regain much of its former tone,and the pelvic floor exercises to help strengthen the area in preparation for birth - your midwife will advise on how to do them.
 You should be feeling more like your old self by about six months after the birth - your body does need time to recover though,so be patient and don't put too much pressure on yourself.
