gave birth just under a month ago and am really worried I may have a prolapse. My son was born after being induced and they used both ventouse and then forceps to get him out. I had an episiotomy which has healed quite well on the outside and the stitches look to be healing on the inside too. I thought it was all going well but when I looked the other day i noticed fleshy bits inside the opening of my vagina (at the top and bottom). I don’t remember if these were there before and am now paranoid I’ve got a prolapse. Are these what people describe as a bulge which is a symptom of prolapse? K don’t feel a heaviness in my vagina - just more a sensation of there being something in there, like an air bubble. It’s not uncomfortable but just feels different.
My pelvic floor is definitely weakened. I can still feel it to do you exercises and haven’t been leaking at all but can’t stop urine mid flow when on the toilet.
I’ve spoken to my GP and she said to wait until my 8 week check up as they would only prescribe pelvic floor exercises at this stage anyway, which I’m already doing. But I really just need to know either way.
I’m breastfeeding and don’t know if that would affect things or if 4 weeks is too early to tell. Has anyone else had similar experiences and does it get better over time?
