Uterine prolapse? May be tmi.

Question

I’m just curious as to how common it is... I have really bad anxiety and tend to overthink things. So when I think I have something, I obsess over it. It’s something I’ve been working on. 
I’m really nervous about uterine prolapse and I’m just wondering what the symptoms are to it. I’m 4 weeks postpartum and sometimes when I have a BM and wipe, I get this weird feeling in my vagina. Almost like something wants to come out I guess?

Answer

I had a prolapse. Take it easy, but do kegels every day. Mine was finally back to normal around 7 months PP.

Answer

At my 6 week pp appointment I complained of feeling pressure inside my cervix any time I had a bowel movement or pushed to urinate. For a few weeks there was also a pinching feeling that would just happen randomly. My doctor took one look, had me do a push and said that I have a bladder prolapse. The options were to try to strengthen it naturally, surgery, or a "disk" that holds it back in place through the vagina that can be removed to clean and stuff. Nothing really sounded good so I just decided to deal with it. I do kegals every now and then but now that I know there are no terrible side effects other than being uncomfortable, it doesn't bother me as much. From what I understand it's because my baby came out so fast (less than 30 mins of pushing).

Answer

It’s very uncommon, your body is still healing at 4 weeks pp and it’s normal to still feel a little like you’re falling apart.. I would do some kegels to strengthen your pelvic floor back up, but if you’re ever in pain call your doctor
