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.

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!!

More than likely scar tissue x
Currently pregnant with my second and have a 2 year old. Is 2 kids tired different than pregnant tired? I am exhausted all of the time 😫

I’m 11+5 and I self refered at 6 weeks. My midwife appointment went well at 9 weeks but I still haven’t heard anything from the hospital 😬 should I get in touch with them? It’s a hospital I’ve not been to before so I don’t know how last minute they can be but it’s making me super anxious that I haven’t heard yet 🫣

I am 11+4 and woke up this morning with quite a bit of pink watery bleeding. I would not call this spotting as had quite a bit. Have some very mild cramping with it.
Currently sitting in the maternity hospital waiting to be seen and need some support

We really stuck between two names for our little girl. We had picked Jessie but now arent too sure. We both love Lillie but think its too close to a family members kid Millie. Which do you think?

I’m exactly 31 weeks with twins and since last night my tail bone and ribs and random cramps (I can’t find a pattern in them but I am in so much pain in general I am struggling to tell what’s caused by what) have been so painful. I thought I’d be able to sleep it off like I do most things but it’s remained.
Babies are moving around so I know they’re okay but I’m not sure if I need to get checked? I’m already dealing with a kidney blockage that can’t be fixed til I give birth so I’m not sure if it’s that or not

At night I get such bad pelvic pain and my doctor said it’s normal because baby is getting heavy and bigger. I’m 28 weeks 2 days. Did do anyone pelvic floor therapy for that reason? I just hope my medical covers it.
