What has come out of my vagina?!

[Emsy9898]

I'm posting a picture, I've been having burning pressure pain whilst weeing after birth, but just stood up and coughed and this has come out of my vagina. It hurts a bit but isn't too painful but this is quite large and I'm worried! I'm 5 weeks post partum, natural delivery

I may go to the walk in centre, but my baby is EBF and my partner would struggle with her as she's feeding every hour atm

Your partner just needs to cope and be told in no uncertain terms that you absolutely need to stay until seen. They should be shielding you from this and putting on a brave face, not making you feel guilty for being in hospital. Could someone go to help? Their mum/ sister/ dad/ friend?

How are you op? Was worrying but see you were back getting seen today which is a relief 😅
Hope you are okay and get some answers! Xx

Thanks so much for everyone pushing me to be seen, turns out it was retained placenta! They did a speculum and ultrasound and luckily can't see anymore but will be booking me in for another one in a few weeks and got breastfeeding friendly antibiotics for a week x

Good result, OP!

Good news 💐

Well done for trusting your instincts. Hope that's sorted it now.

Fabulous, I'm so happy this is gonna be ok. Xxx

Great job, not worth taking chances with your health.

Really pleased you have been seen op and have found out what it is

Brilliant news, fingers crossed for another clear scan next time as well.

Well done OP - I’m v glad you got properly seen and will be followed up!
