Pregnancy after prolapse
Show your support
@Jo ace, thank you! Is it typically recommended to have a C-section too or would you be able to still have the baby low risk vaginally?
Prolapsed after my first (cystocele/rectocele) and just had my second vaginal delivery (2 years apart). Zero worsening of grade or symptoms and to be honest, I feel better now than I did before! Recovery was a breeze compared to after my first!
@Erin bless, thank you so much for your response and congratulations on your little one 🥹❤️
I'm pregnant with my second after forceps and episiotomy. Prolapse symptoms have improved greatly over last 2 years but have worsened a bit during pregnancy. Currently wondering the same in re to c section or another vaginal
@Tamsyn Lampkin just being pregnant can worsen symptoms and second babies tend to come a bit quicker than first ones so less pressure during delivery. Entirely up to you. If you had a major prolapse then I'd say definitely section but mild ones are fine for vaginal birth.
Loads of women have further pregnancies with prolapse. We see it all the time. Try and get your pelvic floor stronger with the physio before your next pregnancy and continue with the exercises throughout though. We don't tend to offer surgery for prolapse until the woman's family is complete. Xx
