Q: Queefing and embolisms ?

Crying or Very sad I'm a mum of three girls, the youngest of which is 13 months. I read in a parenting mag that letting your partner blow into your vagina after having a baby can cause an embolism. My husband doesn't blow into my vagina but I've had an increase in queefs since i gave birth last year and as a result of that mag, I'm now too scared to have sex. My husband thinks it's just the normal sex drive dip after having a baby but it's not. Can queefs lead to an embolism? Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Question

a couple of things...
1) i don't think it's smart to blow into a woman's vagina. i've always heard that is a bad idea whether or not you have had a baby. i don't know what it can cause, but i've heard that it could be harmful.
2) queefs (meaning p@ssy farts?)..hehe. i know it's not funny. but...i don't think i've ever heard of a queef causing anyone any kind of problems.

i think if this is bothering you so much, you REALLY need to discuss it with your doctor. OR post to a doctor on this site. it is a valid question and i understand why you're asking it. you don't want to do anything that could cause you do die. that's just logical. i don't think you have anything to worry about, but let us know what you find out.

don't worry sweetie.

I did speak to my gp about it but she wasn't very reassuring, she just looked as me as if I was mad. I changed to this doctors last year coz my old doctor was completely useless. It's comforting to know that it doesn't seem very likely that it can cause problems but I'm one of those people who worry! eek I'll let you know what I can find out. Thank you for the support.

I decided to peek around and see what I can come up with.

I did find an artcle related to this, and it is an extremely rare complication that can arise with women who recently had a baby and had sex too soon afterwards (most doctors give a time frame as to when you're safe).

I think it's something like 6 weeks after childbirth that you are good to go. The article stressed (so I will too) that this is very, very rare. Most women who have complications from having sex too early have to deal with infections.

Mummy, it sounds like you're in the clear if your youngest daughter is 13 months. You can also try positions that will let as little air into your vagina as possible (pretty much anything with your legs closer together) or even make sure your guy doesn't go all the way out during sex.
