Trapped wind feeling/ lump feeling in vagina

Such an embarrassing post. However the last 2 days I have been experiencing like trapped air/ a lump feeling in my vagina. I’m 4 weeks PP and had a big ish baby with no tears, just grazes. I was healing perfect but now this has happened.

It’s when I’m walking it feels like airs getting trapped in my vagina and will only disappear when I sit down.

I have considered it could be a prolapse however I’m weeing and passing stools okay.

Anyone else had similar ?

I thought I had prolapse but the doctor said it’s way too early for this to happen as your uterus is contracting back to normal size. I didn’t have the trapped wind sensation but could just be your uterus contracting back? But go to your doctor if you are concerned xx

I don’t know what it could be as I had a section but I did go for my postnatal check yesterday - had to fill in a questionnaire and one of the questions was if it felt like there was a lump or swelling so may be worth getting checked out x

I had the same trapped wind feeling and it went after a week or so. I just put it down to kegel exercises maybe drawing air in (?) or the postpartum bleeding I still had.

Did any of you manage to fix the trapped wind feeling? - having the same

nope but it stopped a few weeks after I posted this, I just did pelvic floor exercises 3x daily and it seemed to help x

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
