I'm five days post partum and my insides feel so heavy. I have been trying to do some pelvic floor exercises and I can find the muscles well, but they tire easily (as you would expect).

My uterus has shrunk remarkably quickly and is very very low. My bleeding is scant and I had no grazes or anything.

I have pretty bad muscle separation though meaning my whole tummy is bulging like Im 5 months pg. This hasn't happened before ad with the others I was pretty flat within a week.

Anyway my issue is this heavy feeling. I suppose I'm worried about a prolapse.

I've been perhaps too active, but it's hard with other children, even with DH home to do so much and other family around. I am still doing some light chores, like folding washing and normal baby care and some quiet games with the kids. Even playing lego seemed to strain my tummy though with lots of bending forward etc.

Anyway. I'm just hoping for some reassurance, or advice.

Is it too soon to see a physio?
