i am 4 weeks pp. i am wondering if a ‘healed’ cystocele will show at the entrance of the vagina. like does the bulging of the bladder and bladder hole go back up to its original place? honestly this is my main concern since i genuinely hate to see it where it’s not supposed to be. kind of tmi question but i want to have hope that when the symptoms go away or when my pelvic floor is stronger, i won’t have to worry about seeing it
and the problem for elderly people is that they essentially have to work til they die since they have no kids or younger people to hire to do their work (let’s say run a family business) for them.. is this truly better for society and for elderly individuals?
i spoke to my OB at 2 weeks pp bc i had this insane dropping and clogging feeling in my vagina as if it was a blood clot that was struggling to come out.. i knew immediately once i was able to look down there that it was a bladder prolapse , not to mention the pelvic pain, the pain when i stop peeing, overall different feelings of peeing, and pain around my clit? tmi? as if my bladder was sitting right on top of that . also immediately comparing pictures, i know that it’s at stage 3. she just told me to do kegals. to no surprise nothing has really changed aside from 1 symptom going away. i still feel it bulging when i do them, otherwise nothing feels close to normal at all
now i am entering the 4th week of pp, my entire body has been felt normal since week 2, except my pelvis/bladder and i want relief from this horrific feeling . ive literally been in bed for 3 days straight with my babe bc i dont want to get up and walk and feel like im ruining it even more.
i suppose if there’s anyone with a positive story similar to mine— first pregnancy, under 30, powerlifter/gym goer who has recovered fully or gained something close to normalcy with a pessary or PT, please leave a comment. i’m upset at myself for pushing so hard during birth but also at my OB for being so dismissive of me as if i don’t know what a bladder prolapse is… maybe i could’ve gotten relief at 2 weeks?
is it more efficient to have school room and play room separated or should/can it be integrated like a normal classroom? i have a large living room so i can always move play time to a giant rug/mat out there. i just want to know what could be best for having her understand learning and play are different (or similar) and sleeping in the school/playroom means you should sleep and not be up playing with things when mom is not there to watch you 😭
ftm yes but i’m excited to actually be going through this process. i’ve always wanted children and now it’s finally happening soon! (29 weeks) im ready to feel the contractions but in a curious way, like this is truly something i’ve never done before, something that my body has never done before so it gives me that hint of enthusiasm. also this pain is reassuring/worth it, because i know that this pain is what is bringing my baby girl closer to being in my arms and kissing her cheeks and beginning the season of my life where i’d never thought id be in. raising her, talking to her, teaching her, watching her grow etc.
anyone else who was fearless of birth? 😳 or fearless until a certain point in labor?
PLS!! 28 weeks rn and immediately as soon as she turned 7 months, the pain has been more constant and lasting longer! i have a high pain tolerance and can manage by walking like a grandma since it’s only affecting 1 leg but tbh i think i might have to leave work way sooner instead of at 36 weeks bc literally all i do is walk at work and assist people in a huge freaking building literally you can walk 8+ miles in the 8 hour shift if you wanted to. it’s awful. swollen feet + nerve pain in my butt.
i haven’t told my doctor yet, as far as i know there’s nothing to really help it… i’m going to buy a cane today :/ it’s that unbearable sometimes. stretches didn’t make it ‘better’ either…
what did you guys do for sciatica ? help
super random but in the same way ur baby is always moving in your belly before birth, can you feel them moving or twitching while in labor and just before delivery?
