Is anyone out their happily managing a mild prolapse?

Have been on the other prolapse thread and found it really helpful but am aware that the people there are at a very different stage from me.

Following birth of DC2, I have been attending physio for what they describe as a very mild prolapse. Physio say my main issue is lax vaginal walls and possible nerve damage from DC2 being stuck in for so long at the pushing phase. I have no continence issues and my only symptoms are occasional bulging of bladder &/or cervix and a heavy feeling (like a tampon falling out) if I try to jog/run/bounce/lift anything heavy.

I'm doing exercises and have bought an electric stimulator. Having made no progress for 5 months, I have made a slight improvement after using it for a month.

At the moment I am very down, as the only way I can manage my symptoms from worsening is to avoid any heavy lifting or exercise which requires bounce (so to speak). This is very hard as I already have a toddler who I can't even play catch with and I used to enjoy going to exercise classes.

I have been told that I will not be a candidate for surgery as my problems are not severe enough. I am therefore in a no mans land of lifestyle limiting precautions which are really making me unhappy. Or just doing the things I enjoy and getting bad enough for something to be done. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any experiences would be welcomed.

My physio did the same for me after my op, i was trying to hold the squeezes for 10s and not managing so she cut me back to 6s with 5s intervals and I built it back up again from there, by my 2nd visit 2 months later I was easily holding for 10s.

I was wondering about the Hab-it DVD, but hadn't ordered it in case it didn't work in our DVD player (does the different regions thing still exist or are all modern players multi region?).

Whoknows, I didn't have a prob with the DVD. But if it turns out you do, you can google DVD region codes for your model and change it to 0 so you can play every DVD on the planet
It's worth it!

Ah, thanks Thisis that's good to know. I'm on a FB prolapse group and it gets mentioned quite often.

This is all really helpful. Will check out those DVDs once physio are finished with me I think. Period ha arrived today so wonder if that was why my symptoms took a bit of a dip over past few days. So grateful to everyone for sharing your experiences.
