Vaginal Estrogen Pessary for Prolapse

Has anyone else tried this?? I’ve been prescribed this by my GP after my private Mummy MOT physio recommended it. And it seems to have fixed my fairly severe uterine and rectal prolapses almost instantly. 🤯 I’m 4 and a half months post partum. There’s several weeks worth of tablets.

Doppler or not?

I am going to Portugal in our camper van and will be 29 weeks to 31 weeks when away.

IUD and period
