3rd trimester and worried about prolapse
I'm currently 37 weeks and I have noticed a bulge when trying to do perineal massage. Has anyone had something similar at this stage?
This is my 2nd pregnancy and I hoped to be able to have another vaginal birth but not sure if c section is a safer option.

Following because I'm I've also been worried about this after my first prolapse with my first baby now expecting my second a year later
I had the exact same, noticed the bulging so was convinced it was a prolapse, but I was examined and told it was just the walls of my vagina and that the bulging can happen at this stage due to pressure from baby's head!
I had prolapse from my 1st who is now 3yo. I had a vaginal birth with my second again and 8mo my prolapse is a lot better. Happy to chat further
Thanks all, this is all very reassuring! Triage took a quick look and said it looks like a prolapse but shouldn't impact delivery, hopefully to find out with the arrival of my LO in next couple of weeks!

I had a preexisting prolapse from my first baby and have just had a vaginal birth with my second. In my case, it hasn’t made it any worse.
