So, I'm kinda scared right now. I think I may have a prolape. If this is the case it would definitely explain some of the mild symptoms I've been having. As a nurse, I know it's not super uncommon and not extremely worrisome (medically). But it's still scary when something is other than the norm and you're the one experienceing something unusual. And I'm prone to be a worrier anyway.
When I mentioned my concern over the possibility as lightly and calmly as I could to DH (even though I was freaking out internally), he was less than helpful. I realize that because he really is clueless about such things, that it could certainly sound like an emergency. But instead of asking how I felt, or even making an attempt to comfort me, he basically just kinda made an @ss of himself. I don't even know how to start explaining how he reacted, but it was far from helpful. I just needed him to be there for me and he really wasn't.
Anyone have any personal experience with this? Or any advice? I plan on calling my OBGYN in the morning to try to get in for an appointment in the near future to see what she has to say. And if I can't get in with her, I'll just make an apt with my PCP. I guess I'll just start there and then just see what happens.
Ugh, this sucks. Hopefully I will be able to relax enough to fall asleep. Maybe things will be more positive in the morning.
Re: Scared (prolapse???)
Like a uterine prolapse?
I have no experience but just want to offer a ((HUG)). Call your OB, you don't have to live like that if this is the case.
ETA: A swift nutkick to your H. What an asss.

yes, I suspect a uterine prolapse. I am gonna call my OB today. I'm not in pain or anything. I'm really hoping I'm wrong about this whole thing. But I know pg and vag delivery (with or with out trauma) can be a risk factor.
Thank you for the hugs.
This is funny timing because I have been freaking out all weekend about this same issue. All I know is that there are things coming out of me down there... I don't want to talk about it or think about it beyond that. I have an annual exam scheduled with my gyn for next week, so I am just going to wait until then. I panicked at first and then relaxed a little after spending most of Saturday doing internet research. Yes, it sucks, but it's common and I'm not going to die. I just hope someday things will be normal again
In the meantime, I'm terrified to poop and I spend an embarrassing amount of time in the bathroom using a hand mirror to make sure things aren't getting worse. ((HUGS))
This! Plus, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this too. (((Hugs)))
