TMI - my vagina is falling out?
Reply With Quote
when i was pregnant with my second (first weighted 8.5pound) i had the same thing but i thought it was all pregnancy related. It wasnt in till one night in the bath that i realized (as im not exactly familiar with my body IYKWIM) while washing there was a lump the size of a golf ball hanging out of my woohoo.
I'm so sorry to all that read this that get offended but i'm having difficulty explaining it any other way.
Basically I'm feeling pain on the LHS of my woohoo *but up there* so it kinda feels like something is going to fall out (er uterus/baby). espec when putting undies on when i balance on right leg and put left leg up OUCH.
what on earth is going on - it HURTS and although it sounds stupid I really don't want to phone the hospital blabbing that my 'V' feels like it's falling off! DP thinks i should but i think they'll just send the men in white coats.
does anyone else experience this pain - and what can we do?
PS - hope all are keeping in the cool - adelaid experiencing heatwave here and i feel like a fat sweaty seahorse
i so panicked. I saw many drs and was told i had a uterine prolaps. I found a great dr whom said that all Labors cause some type of damage and maybe my first born was to big. He also said if i go naturally again that i could make things worse as all labors cause some sort of impact down there. It was his recommendation i have a c section. I did this and still i felt like i was falling apart it was doing my head in. Also because something was there my body naturally made more and more mucus as it does to naturally disinfect and cleanse that area of my body.
Meaning changing my undies many times a day and wearing liners too. In the end enough was enough and i saw the best gyno i could see and he said u have a uterine prolaps where the uteris has droped down due to weight of baby. Ur ligaments are over stretched. I had a laproscopic ventro suspension to repair this damage at age 21. And it made all the difference...... i do hope that maybe this helps. I m not saying that's whats happening with u i am just saying that's what happened to me.
).... turned out to be just a vaginal prolapse (hmm there's a phrase!), brought on by straining with constipation. So bubba was fine (we went home in a state of minor shock! Since then talking to all sorts of people about "my vagina falling out", i've gleaned the following info. 
). At a lesser extent it can result in a dragging or heavy feeling (which i have still continued to experience occassionally). Esssentially being pregnant or straining can cause it - and it's tissue/ligaments that stretch. You can't train this tissue back again, but it WILL improve over time, and having really good pelvic floor muscles can help... essentially they're the sling that holds it all in place... so if they're strong, that will help the whole area IYKWIM! The jury is out on whether vaginal birth will really make it that much worse (depends on how many bubbas you plan to have). My obs basically said the damage was already done for me, might as well go vaginal anyway (which I did).
