Prolapse in pregnancy

[atrcts]

Has anyone experienced a prolapse during pregnancy? I have an anterior wall vaginal prolapse diagnose and it's preventing my ladder being able to empty properly. This means I can only pee 'little and often' usually every hour, and am up at least 6 times in the night peeing smallish amounts each time

I'm exhausted! And thats before baby has arrived. So I was wondering if anyone had found any way of resolving a similar prolapse either before birth or very shortly after, and having a newborn ( and toddler) usually puts parents on their knees without any added 'extras'!

Apologies for the annoying iPhone typos - why does the spell check sneakily switch what you type?!!!!!

Hi. I think I may have posted on a thread of yours before maybe. I have had a ring pessary in from about 14 weeks in both pregnancies since pro lapsing after my first dc. Worked really well and I forget it's even there most of the time. They only take it out in labour as you need it most as you get to the end because of the weight of the baby. You can have it back in after the birth but I have never done so yet... I see a consultant midwife and was referred to a birth injuries clinic from normal antenatal services to have it assessed. I was induced at term to minimise the extra strain on the prolapses and so my midwife could supervise my labour.

Thanks for your response - I hasn't written about it before so it must have been someone else's post.

I've unexpectedly given birth at 35 weeks and amazingly the prolapse has immediately stopped blocking my bladder, I am so thankful!!! I was dreading 30 minutely trips to the toilet with a newborn keeping me awake all night too - exhausting!

I've been referred to Physio at 6 weeks post partum anyway though, so as to strengthen everything and stop problems occurring again in the future.
