Gave birth two months ago
I’ve been feeling a bulge through my privates all through pregnancy (second child). When I asked for it to be checked they checked the anal sphincter but said the strength of the perennial muscle around the vagina would be done after delivery.
Had a complicated vaginal delivery with a very long pushing stage due to odd presentation of my beautiful baby.
After which I actually feel a whole piece of flesh coming out of my vagina.
I was told to do kegels which I do but need to be more consistent.
On my postnatal check I insisted and was told to cough and then it was confirmed my vaginal wall had fallen and that I need further checks and physiotherapy.
But I feel like I have to keep pushing and pushing to be heard and taken seriously so I want to take control of my own health and be fully informed because I believe raising small concerns isn’t getting me anywhere.
I would like to know if anyone experienced this. Tell me about your good and bad experiences and outcomes.
What am I looking at in terms of recovery? Options? Future ability to exercise? Intimacy? Future pregnancies and births if we decide to ? Can this make me eligible for a c section (I’m not planning anymore kids but don’t want to be denied the option).
Thanks
