Hi,

I have 5 children all natural deliveries and four out of five have been posterior. I think I have got that problem of incontinence and I am now having to wear pads. I have been told by my physio that I am in a high risk of having a prolapse(if I don't have a minor one already) because I have had a few difficult deliveries including a vacumn delivery, which I heard can cause a lot of damage to your pelvic floor. Because of that I have been told not to lift any heavy objects(a bit hard to do when I have a baby to carry around and a three year old who I have to lift sometimes). I am trying to restrict the things I have to lift. I am doing my pelvic floor exercises but I don't think they are working.

I am thinking of having number 6(this will probably be the last) and I am considering having an elective c/s because of the fear of the problem with my pelvic floor.
