Becoming Asymptomatic Question

I am 4.5 months postpartum and have been told all 3 pelvic organs have prolapsed grade 1. However at the end of the day, if I do too much walking, I can see the bladder bulge, so I think it’s more like grade 2.

I have been seeing a physio and have started feeling less symptoms. However after waking around most of this afternoon the bulge is still there even though the symptoms are not.

I would love to hear from others, will the bulge ever go or will I just become asymptomatic with the bulge still appearing after busier days? Do I need to come to terms with the fact that it won’t go, so I’m not disappointed every time I see it.

I notice one around that time and I was terrified!! I’m 9.5 months postpartum now and I don’t really notice any bulge anymore like I used to! I didn’t do pelvic floor therapy till recently. Bulge went away before I even started therapy at 8 months. I have a grade one prolapse too

Most likely that the bulge will stay there but you can get to the point your asymptomatic. There's loads of Facebook prolapse groups that you can join. Focus on pelvic floor physio and relaxation. If need there's things like a pessary or hypopressives you can learn to do to help with symptoms. It's a journey! I was so symptomatic at 4.5months pp, I'm now 16m and it's gotten a lot better

Screening 12 weeks

I had my blood test on Thursday last week and some of my results have been published but not the Downsyndrome, Edward’s and patau results which I’m most anxious about. Is this normal or should I be worried that they are the only two not published?

Hospital bag

I’m pretty much packed, I’m just thinking that if I need to stay in for a few days I need to pack more clothes, what actual clothes would I need? Should I just get more button front pyjamas/nighties and then pack my home outfit?

Baby head not engaged

I’m 38w3days and had a midwife appointment this morning where they said her head isn’t fully engaged in the pelvis yet, it’s slightly to the left.. she didn’t seem to think it’s an issue but now I’m panicking a little, is this normal for a FTM at this stage? I’ve been doing so much walking and hip circles/bouncing on ball too!

Fetal heart rate

I had a private scan at both 7w 4d and again at 9w 4d and the baby heart rate was 147bpm at both scans, everywhere I read peoples babies are a lot higher at this stage so it's got me mega worried, baby was measuring exactly on track and sonographer said it was in normal range but something just isn't sitting right, I know I shouldn't compare but my daughter's was 169bpm at this pointanyone else had anything similar?
