I’ve just found out I’m pregnant again and already have an existing prolapse. I’m still waiting to see a gynaecologist but have had a pessary fitted by my GP. I’m still very early on so not expecting to see a midwife for at least another month. Just wondered if anyone else had an existing prolapse before pregnancy and how it was managed during their pregnancy - will i need to be seen more often by my midwife, etc?

I’m 12 weeks and I had a prolapse from my last birth, I saw a physio before I got pregnant and she told me that if I continued to do pelvic floor exercises then I would be fine to have another baby as it’s about building strength. So far I haven’t noticed any change in prolapse, the only slight issue I’ve had is I can feel it sometimes with the morning sickness as my sickness has been awful recently. I’d see if you can see a physio for an examination it was really helpful to me x
thank you. I’m due to see a gynaecologist next week anyway who i hope will talk me through everything anyway as I’ve been waiting 7 months for this appointment since i first found my prolapse 😩 fortunately ive had a pessary fitted in the meantime, so my symptoms are pretty much nonexistent most of the time now but just wondered if a prolapse would mean more monitoring etc throughout my pregnancy x
