Low cervix normal after birth or prolapse?

Hello, I’m only 2 weeks postpartum but I’ve noticed my cervix is verryyy low in my vagina, I can touch it only sticking my finger in a bit. Before pregnancy it was sometimes second knuckle low but not this low. Is this normal after birth and it will rise back up? Or is this a sign of prolapse?

I had the same experience. Was never super high before pregnancy (maybe tip of my middle finger) but in the couple months after giving birth it was low, about a knuckle and half - 3cm. Over the first 4-5 months pp it went back up. Now it’s around 6cm high or 2 knuckles. I think it’s normal for it to be low that soon after birth. I did a lot of PF rehab. I think it helped, along with normal healing.

@Janelle thank you for your reply, I’m hoping it’s just normal being only 2 weeks pp and it’ll go back up I’m just anxious about prolapse, I’ve been doing pelvic floor exercises whenever I remember to / am just sitting chilling! 😅

Oh girl I feel your pain, I had the exact same I was so convinced I had prolapsed infact it was all I googled thought or talked about for weeks it completely consumed me. If I put a mirror there it was open and I could see and feel my cervix. In my case I hadn't prolapsed it was normal I got checked multiple times by health visitor and drs. 2 weeks is nothing it will take it's time. I think mine took a good few months I'm 7months after now and actually I thought a few days ago wow I really worried fir no reason. All back to normal. Give it time yourlk be checked at your 6-8 week drs app anyways don't worry just yet xxx

@Nicole Thank you sooo much this has really reassured me haha! I think it’s cause I was starting to feel less sore down there then now suddenly I feel a bit more sore/heavy so was worried! But good to hear your experience and that it’s probs just normal healing and I’ll be fine lol! Xx

Although it is early and things need to heal there, I would ask the gp for a referral to pelvic floor physio. Every woman should be referred after birth in my opinion. They will be able to assess and make sure you do your exercises properly to keep a healthy pelvic floor to support your organs for the rest of your life
