I Could use some advice for anyone who's been through this as I currently feel like I am scrolling google looking for help,
I have quiet a serve prolapse which has been caused by poor pelvic and tummy muscles and my little baby is a chunk so the lifting doesn't help. He's my third baby I've always done my pelvic floor work outs and attempted my stomach I don't even no how many times yet with the diastasis recti nothing changes even after seeing a PT who specialising in it I'm now being referred to a pelvic disfunction clinic as well as gyni because I've pushed for it.
My prolapse is so bad I can barley walk or move feel like I have to hold myself to stop anything falling out it's horrendous what it's done to my mental Heath it's absolutely consoling my life. I can't be a mum can't be a wife in my head I'm fine but my body isn't responding, to make matters worse I have osteoporosis in my lower spine and hip which I've been told is so rare to have it as young as I am.
I know my tummy and pelvic issues won't help my back as my posture is bad because of the pain it causes in back and hip. I guess I wanted to know what has anyone else had help from the nhs for these issues ? I don't want a tummy tuck but I do want to be able to not feel like my vagina is done with me

Please help I feel so lost right now
Did anyone on here get any help with treatment? I don't want a tummy tuck but my DRecti has caused
Me major pelvic floor issues large prolapses as there is no support
I also have so much gas and bloating that it's so painful I cry after eating dinner my lower back and hip hurts daily Aswell to the point by end of the day I can struggle to walk I am early 30s I've just been referred to gyni so I'm
Praying they will help me I know it's no ones fauilt but hearing I don't normally see this is patients this young doesn't help me what so ever I've had three baby's im small build I have all boys so I am always running here there and everywhere so I would say I am fit but for whatever reason my body isn't I feel like an absolutely rubbish mother I can't even lift my 10 month old baby my husband has to pass him to me which makes me feel like total crap I feel like I can't cope

I should add the dr fitted me with a pessary ring for some relief while waiting Altho all it's doing is causing bleeding currently isn't helping.

Anyone else had anything like this???
What did they do for you??
Did it work?

Sorry no one has replied. I had a severe prolapse with young children and I know those feelings very well, I'm so sorry you are going through them and struggling to get through the day.

Lift as little as you can! Do an online shop for when your partner is home and refuse to lift any bags. Encourage your older children to be as self sufficient as possible.

For your little one, tighten your pelvic floor before you lift, so you can protect it.

There are lots and lots of different types of pessaries - so push and ask for more varieties.

Make sure you lose as much weight as you can.

Go back to GP for anti-depressants if you're feeling so blue.
