Hi all
I gave birth to my second son 3 weeks ago. He was back to back so labour was hard and the pushing stage was extremely quick (and a bit traumatic) with a 2nd degree tear and stitches. Once everything started to heal and settle down I noticed a full feeling inside my vagina. Have been to the doctor today and she said I have "a bit of a prolapse" - of my bladder. I did sort of expect thats what could be wrong, but nevertheless I am gutted and feel like it's the end of my sex life.
Does anyone else have experience of this? Did kegel exercises help? Did it go away? And lastly, did anyone have this and then go on to have another pregnancy? I was hoping to have a third child some day but am scared of the prolapse getting worse.

has anyone had surgery for this? What is the process now after they have stopped the mesh surgery since it had awful effects on some patients
