I had my fourth birth 8 weeks ago. ended up with cs, first was ecs, then vbac with third degree tear and 3rd was a termination at 6 months with a vaginal birth.

since the 3rd degree tear i've had a lower cervix which seemed to go up at certain times of the month and down again at others. since this baby i've had a bit of constipation and the back wall drops when i try to go. am taking lactulose and fibregel and cant even look at white bread but still need to push a bit which means it ends up in me fanjo. how are you supposed to empty your bowel?

also saw a doc in del ward when ds was 4 weeks who told me to get cracking with the pelvic floors and see a physio said wasn't a prolapse but organ movement. my gp wont refer me for 6 months to a physio and said dont do pelvic floors for 3 months at least because of the section scar - she also thinks is a prolapse but hasn't examined me yet. cs scar does hurt a bit.

what am i supposed to do? do pelvic floors or leave them? all making me a bit down as am grumpy with kids worrying about this. has anyone got any advice?

I would press for more help here. You cant be expected to carry on like this for 6 months. I have been diagnosed with a 2nd degree prolapse but had known that something was not right for a while. I too was fobbed off after my last birth and feel if they had taken me more seriously sooner, things might not have been so bad now.

gp says may hust be post birth hormones and to wait a while she is going to examine me in 2 weeks as wouldnt yesterday cos it might upset my kids. they really wouldnt have cared or noticed...
