Prolapse after birth

[Sophia73]

Thanks for replying Marydean and Gracie!

FYI I am seeing a physio who specialises in post-natal issues. She is the one that recommended no exercise - except for the pelvic floor ones. Both she and my obstetrician (who I had a feeling was butt covering himself) would not commit to advising me whether this problem will ever improve. Three months on and things feel worse than ever.

I was glad to hear your story Marydean...I hope mine does the same.

Hi Sophia73

I had a prolapse of the front v wall about 3 weeks after birth of 2nd baby who is now nearly 1. Yeah I can totally sympathise with you and it was a bit depressing at the time to be honest! I felt like I was ruined!

It is definitely better now for me, although like you I was in the dark for a bit.

Everyone seems to be unsure of as to whether these things can ever improve, but I can tell you mine did: most days I don't feel it, there's no issue with stress incontinence, and I feel absolutely normal in every way now.

I had a fab womens physio who gave me mega pelvic floor exercises.

And my female GP told me at my post natal pap smear "don't worry - give it time - it's only been four months". So it does take many months perhaps to get better, but if you're careful not to do strenuous stuff, and do your pelvic floors often, and "brace" down there when you have to lift heavy things, you should be (hopefully) much better with time soon too.

All the best, sending you good vibes!
