pain after sex

Hey, please be careful, I had mild prolapse and it was severe by the end of next week. My doctor advised to avoid having sex, not to lift any heavy items, rest as much as possible, do pelvic floor exercises and refer yourself to physio as thats the best treatment. You have to be so so careful I cannot stress this enough! If you are in a lot of pain I would advise to go A and E asap.. how many weeks pregnant are you?

23 weeks i’ve spoken to both my dr and midwife about it they have referred me to physio but haven’t been very helpful with advice etc

That does sound strange, especially as you’re over 16 weeks as well. Like I mentioned before, my doctors were very clear with me about resting as much as possible and avoiding any heavy lifting. I was even told not to pick up my 3-year-old for a few minutes because it caused a lot of pain. They advised me to avoid anything that puts pressure down there, even everyday tasks like hoovering the whole house. They also said that if there’s any severe pain or bleeding, I should go straight to A&E to be checked. They also told me that if there’s pain when going to the toilet or any abdominal pain, I should go back and get checked straight away, as it can sometimes mean there’s an infection.
You really do have to be careful with prolapse I’m surprised this wasn’t fully explained when you were seen, as it’s important to know what signs to watch out for 🤍
