Possible prolapse

Hi all! 3 weeks pp today and I had a look down there and there’s something bulging down. I’ve been getting some stinging, almost like lightning crotch and feeling like there’s an air bubble almost. It doesn’t look very big but it definitely wasn’t there before! I’ve rang my GP so hopefully will get seen, but I just wanted to know if the bulge ever goes away basically. Feeling really down about it mainly for aesthetic purposes which seems silly but I can’t help it! FTM so stressing about recovery, I swear postpartum feels like one step forward and three back 🥲

It goes away but it's a bitch and a half to deal with healing for me took forever and I didn't start feeling a difference until I went to a pelvic floor therapist. I was a FTM too so I was very down on myself about it take your time and seriously take it easy

Your not alone I had something similar after I had my daughter.. I had a mild prolapse my doctor referred me to see a gynaecologist, I brought a pelvic floor machine I used a few times and haven’t had a problem since :)

I had got depressed from healing from prolapse. It felt like I couldn't make any progress. It was hurting it felt like so much pressure down below I hate doing anything that wasn't laying down and even then I hated that too. I'm sorry your going through this but I want yu to know there is a light in that darkness. It gets better darling it really does 😊 if yu ever need someone to talk to I'm here

@Jasmine how long did it take you to heal? I'm 4 months pp but feel I'm making no progress

@Jasmine yes feeling super down today :( but going to my gp later so hopefully I’ll get some answers or advice 🤞🏼 thank u for the lovely words

@Kristal which pelvic floor machine did you get? Been looking into them as I never know if I’m doing the correct squeezes

@Lauren honestly it took until I worked with my therapist for a while I wanna say I really started feeling better at 5 or 6 months feeling mostly fully better

@Jasmine my therapist hasn't been great i just get told to do kegals but I'm still struggling to do them correctly. I'm seeing a different one towards the end of the month so hoping they help

Around 3 wpp i had a bulge that i could see/touch coming out....it would feel like it receeded back up when i wasnt up and moving much and then when i walked around too much or lifted slightly heavy things it would feel as if something was trying to fall out of me again. I start resting/laying down more, drinking more water... went to see my OB around 4 wpp bc i told her i suspected prolapse...she had me come in to check it out. Since i had been resting more, it was not buldging that day; she told me she did not want to diagnose it as prolapse just yet and to wait and see how my body continued to heal. I havent had a bulge since that week that i began laying down more and stop lifting anything that weighed more than the baby - i am 10 wpp now I also paid $17 to get access to this pelvic floor program....the breathing technique she teaches paired with kegals was different from anything i had heard before https://go.buffmuff.com Lastly i bought a collagen powder that has types 1&3 that assist in elasticity

@Lauren maybe I can send yu some of the excersises and tips that I was doing that helped me

@Jasmine that would be great thank you

I had a grade 2 prolapse after the birth of my daughter and within 12 months it was gone. I can recommend a free support group called the Pelvic Power Movement Community on FB. Many women do heal so please don’t listen to the horror stories x
