To call or not to call?

Question

So I went to the drs 1.5 weeks ago because I was having terrible tummy pain and it was just my uterus contracting. I’m now 3 weeks pp and my vagina still hurts and I think I have a prolapsed uterus. Do I wait until my 6 week appt and see if it fixes itself or call dr today? I just don’t want to be the girl who cried wolf.

Answer

I do this type of thing all the time so I can’t encourage you to wait. I have an Appt tomorrow for an underarm lump from breastfeeding and even though it’s basically gone I’m still going to make sure everything is fine

Answer

You’re only 3 weeks PP, everything won’t feel back to normal yet. It takes 4-6 weeks just for your uterus to return to pre-pregnancy size. It’s normal to continue to have discomfort at this point. Uterine prolapse isn’t dangerous, but if you’re super concerned then call your OB. You will likely be referred to a specialist, but your OB may want to wait until 6 weeks for you to heal more.
