Possible prolapse following forceps delivery

Hello
I am hoping someone can reassure me. I had a forceps delivery almost 4 weeks ago. Obviously had an episiotomy for this I have been told that I am healing well with regards to stitches etc. In the last week or so though i have felt a fullness in my vagina. I was brave enough last night to have a look with a mirror and a feel around and it looks like I have a prolapse just inside. When I tried to insert a finger, it wasn't painful but it was very tight and I could feel lots of bulges, the point that I sort of had to navigate around them to go in further. Does this sound like a prolapse? I am so upset. I had asked for a c section as I had an emergency one for my first son and this time around the baby was back to back and I didn't want any complications so thought it easier to have an elective cs. I was talked out of it by the consultant and I am now kicking myself that I didn't push it further. I feel totally battered down below and the thought of ongoing problems makes me want to cry again - though I have been crying on and off all day anyway. Has anyone else had this and can they tell me what happened? I am going to push for a referral to a gyne at my 6 week check but what should I expect? After this I do not want anymore children so would surgery be an option? I am doing my pelvic floor exercises to see of it helps.
