Prolapse

I’m 20 weeks pp and have noticed a feeling which I think could be prolapse. I had an episiotomy which was checked by the GP at 8 weeks and was still healing. I’ve only noticed the suspected prolapse now. Has anyone else experienced this? X

Braxton Hicks - how do they feel?

I'm curious as I haven't felt any so far at 33 weeks. Are they just low down or can they be higher up on your bump? Do you notice a feeling or just that things have tightened?
