Prolapse - not coping

[CharlieB93]

I’m 9 weeks PP and have been diagnosed with a bladder prolapse by my physio (3rd degree tear during labour)
I’m really struggling to come to terms with it, I’m in pain everyday and the bulging feeling is ruining everything. I’m scared to walk for a long time and I’ve been told to come to terms with not ever running or doing circuit training again (which I loved) I feel like I can never loose the excess weight from pregnancy as I find it hard to loose without doing exercise.
I just don’t know where to go from here - I’ve been looking at kegel8/pelvic floor trainers to purchase but do they make any difference? Pelvic floor exercises seem to be making no difference whatsoever.
I don’t want to live like this 😢

@AlisonMargaretBrand fantastic!! I’m sick and tired of having to sugar coat everything to do with pregnancy/birth/labour. I knew nothing about the horrors that could unfold after even after having discussions with midwives!! As woman we seem to still be expected to get on with it and put on a brave face. I’ve told people close to me about the prolapse and it’s unbelievable how many people have also experienced it!!
