Loss of Vaginal Feeling

I just have my second baby, a 7 lb. 11 oz. boy, in April. He was significantly bigger than my first-born, a 6 lb. 2 oz. girl. I had them both vaginally, with an epidural. After the birth of my first-born, I noticed a loss of feeling inside my vagina, but something I could deal with. I still discussed it with my OB, wondering if we should schedule a Cesarean to prevent further damage by having my second baby, well she didn't think I needed to... she was wrong, and I've regretted it ever since. I have absolutely no feeling inside my vagina, now. My muscle strength is also weak, although I'm still tight. I do kegals - all the time. I've talked to numerous OB's, and they all say the same thing - they have no clue. Except the last one, who said I need Estrogen Cream and Physical Therapy 'down-there'. Although, it's been a month of going to her, and still no prescription for Estrogen and still no Physical Therapy!! I'm frustrated, and my husband is more than pleased with my vagina and I have sex just for him, but I find myself crying every time (because it reminds me that I have NO feeling). I just want to feel again, and have the muscle strength I did before childbirth. I have no idea what is wrong with my vagina or how to go about fixing it, please help me!

Did you ever find an answer to your problem? I've had the same problem since having my last child also. Muscle tone is fine, no feeling. I hope you found an answer, please let me know!

I have the same concern, but I had no loss directly after either baby, but 2 1/2 years after my 2nd I slowly started to lose feeling. Now 3 years later I am not feeling much at all. I have done kegels throughout both pregnancies and my husband does not notice any difference.
Could it be nerve or age. I am 42.
