i have an anterior prolapse ( the front or top wall) where the bladder falls into the vagina- i diagnosed myself before my 6 wk check with obstetrician and have since seen a physio who specialises in pelvic floor. I could 'see' it with a hand mirror when I stood up and felt the pressure when lifting heavy things, but my toilet habits aren't a problem. Mine is stage 2 apparently. My obstetrician gave me a course of oestrogen pessaries to use at night, I have just finished them, and it feels a bit better. The physio said they can't 'fix' itwith pelvic floor exercisies but it helps the symptoms. my obs said if things don't improve symptom wise in a couple of months she can giv me a 'pessary ring' which you put in and take out as required and it holds everything in place, but to be honest I feel like I can manage. Apparently breastfeeding makes it worse becasue of the lack of oestrogen which weakens the vaginal walls, once you stop bfing things improve as well as improving over time anyway.

Just about all my frineds who have had kids have had some degree of prolapse also, so its fairly common.

Also, my obs said if I get a surgical repair, I would need a caesear next time ( not that I am planning a next time) but I would not want a caesear and she wouldn't want ot give me one, then she said it all falls down again when you go through menopause- not that you are anywhere near it PZ, but I am- so you have to get it repaired again
