TMI...prolapse...? :(

I delivered my daughter vaginally on 17th January... she was 9lb 7oz when born, so not small by any means. They thought they'd need to vacuum her out as she was sunny side up, on a bit of an angle, but I managed to push her out with an epidural to deal with the back-to-back labour pain.

About 2 weeks ago (probably 10 days or so post-birth) I started to feel like things were about to 'fall out' inside... after some googling, it seems likely to be a prolapse. I find it so frustrating when I'm walking, it's not as bad as many seem to have it - everything is still 'inside'... but if I use a mirror and separate it, I can see a bulge that is all I can see inside now.

I'm so terrified that it won't get better, that I'll need to see many specialists, that they'll tell me they can't fix it til I've finished having children.

I had a bad experience a few years back where I was badly sexually assaulted, and this is why I'm so scared of having to have continuous doctor involvement, and/or continuous feeling of discomfort down there which I find makes me almost burst into tears when I'm walking around.

My daughter is 4 weeks old and I'm doing great with motherhood itself, but I just am so horrified about this and looking for any stories anyone can share with me if they have experienced something similar.

I'm going to go to my GP tomorrow, but it would be great to know what 'real people' have to say, rather than the GP potentially telling me it'll all be fine when this isn't normally the case.

Thanks for any help, it's really getting me down

    I was worried I had a prolapse because I would have this odd feeling down three when walking, and had some bulging. I too scared myself with Dr Google. I started doing more kegals and also less activity. It has greatly improved and I no longer have any bulging. I think it was just swelling from increased activity. Hopefully you will have the same resolution and don't have to deal with MORE drs etc.

    Been there! So sorry. It's super uncomfortable. My ob said it's not actually a uterine prolapse but the vaginal walls protrude bulge if I am on my feet too long. Kegels are helping immensely! It gets better! Hang in there!
