Getting your head around having a prolapse

[user1473602935]

I'm pregnant my second child and can tell that the prolapse I suffered after the first birth is reoccurring, and it's been confirmed that I have a "moderate" prolapse that will likely get worse during pregnancy and during labour. It feels like it will be much worse than last time once everything drops post birth

My partner was very supportive last time but it massively effected our relationship as it killed my sex drive. We only really resumed sex after 2 or so years to get pregnant again. I just never wanted it and felt upset at the very thought of having sex. The prolapse made me feel very unattractive

With this looming again, it's putting a dark cloud over me, as I'm concerned it'll be months of feeling shit about it again

I'd like to just be able to get my head around it so that I can still enjoy sex in the future. it doesn't hurt after all...

Does anyone have any advice or experience of how to cope with it mentally?

Yes. I have a video with daily exercises that help A LOT! It's quite expensive from an American website and the woooo nonsense is irritating but the exercises, once I did them on a daily basis, changed my life.

Www.wholewoman.com. Go for the starter bundle.

Have you not talked to your drs about surgery after the birth or an elective C section this time round?
There is no need to worry like this- many women have surgery and the outcomes can be good.
