Movement breaks will help you fit MORE FITNESS into your day. Do a little bit a lot, and see how good you can feel!

Thank you. I was falling depression before this video

Currently 31 weeks pregnant with baby #2 My prolapse essentially disappeared in early pregnancy, but I strained (toilet and moved a mattress, not the brightest idea) and so my prolapse returned. Since then it's been there on and off and as the pregnancy progresses everything is naturally getting looser and larger. So trying to manage, like you say with posture. Laying down as much as possible to relieve pressure, I have a single bed mattress in my living room so that I can lay down and watch my 14 mo old baby. But yes getting pregnant again certainly is possible even with prolapse! Luckily weight wise I haven't had to do anything, been putting on a very moderate amount, but am mindful of that, as I do tend to be overweight. Lots of great advice!

Thankyou so much for giving us these videos- you have the most useful information in this topic

[alissamiller]

Thank you so, so, so much for this video Bri! I have a very mild case of prolapse (a cystocele, hardly even detectable by the doctor), and am looking forward to another pregnancy soon. Obviously, I do not want this minor prolapse to get worse, and have always tried to prepare myself for pregnancies through exercise and a healthy diet (your videos are my FAVORITE). This particular video has answered some important questions that I've had on my mind. My doctor suggested using a pessary during future pregnancies for added support, but now I know it might not be a simple as that... perhaps some downsides to a pessary that need consideration. My husband and I are always open to life. That being the case, we have 5 kids already, and will probably end up with a whole lot more (as I am only 32). The same goes for many of my relatives and friends, who also want to manage/prevent prolapse and are looking forward to more healthy, happy pregnancies. Your videos have been SO helpful to us in that regard! If you would ever be interested in doing some pregnancy exercise videos that would be safe and strengthening for the pelvic floor (maybe even a series?!?!) it would be SO APPRECIATED! As always, thank you for offering so much knowledge and help for women with POP! It is so appreciated!

These are such great tips that I would have never thought about. We are currently TTC, I have an appt with my urogyno in the next few months. I will definitely be getting a repeat c-section, as I'm positive my vbac with number 2 is what caused my pelvic organ prolapse. And none of my medical providers even mentioned that prolapse could be a potential issue. Had I known that I'd be dealing with half the issues I have now, I never would have elected for a vbac.

Best birthing positions to avoid prolapse/worsening prolapse ??

[WestAj]

I'm 32 but I got prolapsed uterus after baby 3 at 27, I didn't have surgery but at it's worse my prolapse was like a golf ball in the entrance to my vagina. I am now pregnant again I have a very low cervix it's a finger tip away from the entrance to my vagina sometimes (at worse) length of my middle finger away from the entrance at best. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and very strange my cervix has gone so far up and it's completely gone. I can't find it during sex and I don't want to fiddle to much for obvious reasons. Hormones have moved my cervix perhaps I am not sure. Our bodies are crazy though and so strong!!
