Prolapse

Has anyone dealt with a prolapse?  I'm a ftm and started to have a feeling like I was going to pass a clot but nothing would happen. The feeling would come and go. Yesterday and today I feel like it's gotten worse. Then i resorted to googling and found out that what I'm feeling is probably a prolapse. I took a mirror to check things out and now I'm feeling even more sure that's what going on. I have my six week follow up on Tuesday where of corse I will confirm but in the mean time I'm panicking. After everything I've read (damn you Internet!) I feel like this is going to affect my life in a huge way. I'm a runner, I love to do intense workouts, and enjoy an amazing super active sexlife with my husband. Now I feel like those things are ruined and I'm also scared how this is going to affect having more babies. If anyone has any experience with this is it as awful as I'm making it out to be? Yesterday I couldn't stop crying when I would think about it.

    I don't have any advise, but I think I would call my dr right away rather than waiting. Good luck!

    My BFF has a prolapsed uterus and while it's not fun, she still has an active and happy life. There are physio exercises that can make a huge difference. I do recommend going to your doctor ASAP but know that even the worst case scenario might not be that bad.

    My friend went through this and went to physical therapy for it. It didn't really change anything for her once she completed the physical therapy.

    My 6 week isn't til March but I took a look down there and noticed the same thing. Called my OB and I'm going in Thurs to get it looked at. I too consulted Dr Google and what I read actually made it seem a lot less scary than it sounds, so don't stress yourself too much and keep resting up!

    Any updates ladies ??? It's so odd , I went in for my 6 week and she said everything looked fine but I had weakness of the pelvic floor and to start kegels. That was Saturday
     Well today i finally felt inside my vagina , (I waited a long time I guess) and i felt a big lump inside which I'm  not sure if it's my gspot ?? You go over the lump and then it feels normal. But looking with a mirror standing and bearing down it looks like i can see it coming down towards the opening.  Is it possible this was missed during the exam ?? FML... I did a work out today and I felt downward pressure :/

    It's probably just due to very stretched out ligaments down there. Give them some time to tighten back up and things will probably go back to normal.

    It's very early in the recovery process. Definitely do the kegals, but it takes a long time for the body to completely heal after carrying and baby and L&D. 6 week pp check ups are to check if you can resume normal activity, but your doctor does not expect you to be back to normal. I wouldn't expect that what you're experiencing now is not permanent.

    @Rach8672 the lump that you're feeling is most likely your cervix.  This is completely normal, as your uterus and cervix may still be a bit swollen and misplaced from delivery.  It can take quite a while for your ligaments to strengthen to be able to hold the weight of your uterus in place again.  Kegel exercises are the best thing you can do right now to help replacing strength to the pelvic floor, and to help hold your uterus in place.  Don't panic!  Give your body the necessary time it needs to heal.  I'm walking around feeling like I constantly have to pee or that my bladder is going to fall out...my OB reassured me that everything is a bit "droopy" and swollen still (at 7 weeks), and to give the pelvic floor time to strengthen and heal.  Some women take longer for this process to take place than others, however kegel exercises and even orgasm can help with the strengthening of these muscles and ligaments!

    I'm going back in for some reassurance today at 120! I'm hoping it's nothing too big and just needs to heal like you all are saying . I'll keep ya posted !

    So good news , no prolapse! She said the extra puffiness is a bulge in my anterior wall due to muscle weakness but all organs are in place. She actually told me she usually doesnt reccomend new mommas looking down there until 6 months PP as it never looks the same .
