Possible Vaginal wall prolapse and Mummy MOT.

5 weeks PP got my postnatal check next week. I think I have a vaginal wall prolapse. It feels heavy down there, and I can see a lump, it's quite uncomfortable. I'm thinking of booking a Mummy MOT. Does anyone have any experience of a prolapse or a Mummy MOT. Thanks.

Hiya, yep unfortunately I have experience of this 😫 I’m 8 weeks pp and have a vaginal walk prolapse (back wall).
My gp was absolutely useless! Just said ‘you’ve had a baby, you’ll never feel normal down there again!’ and didn’t take me seriously at all.

I was so uncomfortable and just felt horrible so booked myself straight in with a private physio who specialises in women’s health. She was great right from my first contact with her. I had a mummy MOT and she did a thorough check of my pelvic floor, graded the prolapse and checked my stomach muscles. I now how a physio exercise plan and follow up appointments booked.

I defo recommend the mummy MOT and speaking to a specialist!
Hope this helps xx

How do you go about arranging a mummy MOT? Where do you go? And what do you ask for?

I think if you just go on the mummy mot website you can search for physio’s in your area that are trained to do it xx

I had a mummy mot two years ago, the one in SE London is very close to us, but I paid for it and the follow ups, it was well worthy and through. Tomorrow I am going to a different place to have another mummy mot, it’s further away but not too much, and my insurance will pay for it, definitely helpful to assess pelvic floor strength and any prolapse they can even fit a pressary to help with the prolapse. You can also tell your GP during your postnatal check and they should assess and help you, but the mummy mot is a very in depth appointment, checking everything from posture to diastasi recti. Good luck x

Thank you both for sharing your experiences. I'm glad the Mummy MOT was beneficial, will definitely look into it more. X

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
