like most people I’ve been trying to exercise more since the new year and have been doing pretty good. Had my dd 9 and a bit months ago, second vagina delivery with zero complications. Literally born at home without a midwife because it happened so fast that’s how smooth it went! She was only 7lbs so not a massive baby at any stretch.
anyway I’ve noticed a bit of a weird bulging sensation down there whenever I was doing squats (or anything that calls for my legs to be wide apart really) and hadn’t paid any attention to it, however since I’ve been doing more exercise it started to feel a bit unpleasant and weird so I decided to have a look down below. Fairly certain I have a uterine prolapse, although it’s still inside (not sure if that means anything?). Everything else looks to be in its normal place but there’s a definite bulge at the top of where my vagina opening should be. I’m absolutely horrified and gutted. I have noticed this feeling since I had dd but just thought it was my new normal if that makes sense, like things were a bit more stretched? Also worth noting that I’ve had both a cervical screening and a Mirena coil inserted and neither times the nurse said anything about a prolapse. During the coil insertion once she had clamped my uterus my body sort of pushed the clamp out while it was holding on to my uterus before she had managed to put the coil in (agony!), is there any chance this could have caused this? I mean it doesn’t matter really but I just find it odd that neither nurse noticed it!
what are my chances of this resolving on its own at already 9 months pp? Surely it would have done it already if it was going to. I don’t feel like my GP is going to be very helpful with the state of the nhs at the mo. I’m beyond gutted, from what I’ve read online no exercise, no heavy lifting. I’m only 30. 🥲
