Prolapse??

I'm on my second pregnancy and had an episiotomy and stitches with my first. There was mention of an internal tear but no one gave me any details. This was 4.5 years ago and I often had sensations of feeling like there was a weight coming down and was a little lax with my pelvic floor exercises. I also used to experience a lot of discomfort with internal examinations and sometimes with intercourse but after healing up I no longer get this. Intercourse is easy now and continues to be enjoyable with no pain. I'm 28 weeks now and looked in a mirror the other day and can see a slightly smaller than pea sized lump sticking out the bottom of my vagina. Could this be a prolapse? Scar tissue? I'm not even sure who to discuss this with - is it a GP, midwife or consultant issue? Any advice would be appreciated please.

I’m not sure a pea size lump is a prolapse as a prolapse is an organ, so it’s much bigger.
I’m also not sure a GP would know , they can send you for an ultrasound to see if you have a prolapse and if so they will refer to a gynaecologist.

Please. Please. Please start Physical Therapy with a Pelvic Floor Specialist. Your OB or Midwife will send over your referral if you ask. But start ASAP please. They’ll help you fix up what you can in the meantime and help prep you for labor. Postpartum continue going to them.

I had a feeling of prolapse too. I tried doing kegels, etc at home bc the military refused to refer me to a pelvic specialist but once I started seeing one it made a huge difference. This second pregnancy I have started PT at the beginning of the 3rd Tri but definitely should have started as soon as my hips started to hurt.

I thought I had a prolapse the other day so went to get checked out by the GP. Turns out all is fine, it’s just your Vag becomes swollen and squishy in pregnancy. It has given me a kick up the bum to do my kegels though!!

Would this be a red flag for a future/potential employer?

Have been communicating about interviewing for an open position via email. The hiring manager first responds at 9pm. I respond the next morning with availability for an interview. They don't respond the next day, so the following day I follow up. They don't respond that day or the next (yesterday), but then just replied at 10pm setting an interview time. J was annoyed that the communication was so delayed. And I was even more annoyed that I kept being emailed late at night. Is this a sign I don't want to work for them?

Vbac hope!

I had an emergency c-section and like most it just was the complete opposite of everything I had hoped my birthing experience would be like. I’d really to try for VBAC next time but absolutely petrified of uterine rupture… anyone else the same?

Anatomy scan

Got an anatomy scan today and a little late on the OBGYN stuff but getting caught up and my baby boy was trying to flip his feet over his head so that explains the jumps in my stomach and the pressure on my bladder!!! He also did a peace sign ✌️ sometimes during these visits it feel so surreal knowing a baby is growing inside of you!! 🤧
