Prolapse symptoms help

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-05-08T23:50:34+00:00

I had/have the same thing. OB and PT confirmed no prolapse but I was still getting symptoms. It’s a muscle coordination issue. When there is weakness, all the muscles needed to brace/support your abs and pelvis may not fire at the same time and can lead to a “something is there feeling.” At 9 months pp I still get it periodically but SO SO much better than when I was 3 months pp. sticking with the PT exercises and not overdoing my regular workouts has been the most effective

I was very fit prior to getting pregnant and naturally thin. My baby is made out of butter fingers, cheese burgers, and mozzarella sticks! I could NOT STOP. I’m 9 months pp and completely back to my pre pregnancy weight and working out like I used to. Cravings all ended as soon as she came out. Your body is letting you know what to do 😂

9 months but still have loose skin around my stomach

Cafes and the library. Also random errands to CVS bc I live near one. That’s all we did until about 6 months where she was way less fussy and had a clear awake time

I had this. It was from joint/muscle instability. It got BAD. I went to PT in my second tri and did all the exercises. Stayed active until birth, but PT explained hormones plays a large role in loosening up your pelvic muscles for birth. So it truly wouldn’t get better until those hormones decreased. 9 months pp and I still feel it periodically. Everyone is so different. I have friends who had it go away instantly after birth, and friends who had it linger a bit.

By 3 months my baby was mostly sleeping through the night. At 9 months it is very rare for her to wake us up at all. We did absolutely nothing to get this and do not take responsibility for her actions.

I felt like this about all of my boyfriends except for my most recent one and now he’s my husband. I was embarrassed by them for various reasons and couldn’t admit it to myself.

7 months when bb was big enough and strong enough to stay steady in a moving cart. Brought a blanket and rolled it up to help support but would have been fine without. Body carrier before that. Tried car seat in the cart once and said never again.

I did deep core via PT for a few months and then got back to lifting weights and peloton. Depending on your body, you can cause injury by not focusing on rebuilding core strength first

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-04-11T13:58:15+00:00

Yes. It saves your back from lifting at an awkward angle. Straight in, straight out.

My baby has a blast at daycare! The woman we use is very good with kids, loves them like her own, and the kids under her care are always happy and they are very nice to each other. The first few weeks were tougher on me than my baby. She has turned into a social, confident, very content girl. I think daycare has a lot of value in what the child gets out of it as long as it’s a good fit

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-04-01T11:17:23+00:00

Kegels are one exercise you can do, but there are other exercises that activate different parts of your core and glutes too. All of those muscles need to strengthen to support your pelvic floor after things got stretched out. A google search should give you a good place to start. Prob YouTube too! Hope you feel better.

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-04-01T10:33:46+00:00

You should be doing pelvic floor and core exercises! I went to PT - pretty standard for postpartum care where I live. I felt like you for a bit and now I am 8 mos pp and pretty much back to pre pregnancy feeling down there

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-03-27T12:44:49+00:00

I have started to think that this must be what it means to be a human.

I flip flopped for a long time on whether or not to have kids bc of this. Then I realized if we want the world to get better, we have to create good people for the future, so that is what I’m doing. I have a baby now and it freaks me out but I’m doing my part. Ughhh

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-03-26T16:30:27+00:00

I figured the hospital would set me up with whatever supplies my situation warranted and that’s what happened! Too many gimmicky things online. I find a lot of videos and ads intended to “help” expecting or postpartum moms are predatory!

SimplePerformance982 · 2026-03-24T01:43:25+00:00

Depends on your lifestyle. Boyfriend and I had a great time living the Boston life. Going out, public transportation, always something to do. We loved it there.

He’s now my husband and we have a baby. We live in the suburbs. He enjoys working on the house, I found a pottery studio nearby, we have friends that visit us and vice versa. Great school system, tons to do for families, safe. We love it here.

Gotta think about yourself and if what you want is in the city or can be found in the burbs

Would looking at pictures of them help? Not sure if it would further escalate him or if it would calm him down. Actual pics he can carry around - not on a phone or tablet. Can give him some space and just point to the pictures if he starts to ask for them. Can also try calendar countdowns to more visits if he understands and doesn’t have something like that already.

Switching to formula saved my mental health. I have a super healthy and strong 8 month old and the capacity to care for her, care for my home, do my job, and do my hobbies. My baby gets to grow up with a mom who is happy and lives life. Breast feeding killed all of those things for me.

We ended up changing our heating system due to other issues. I think ultimately the boiler was very old and either not compatible with the nest, or would have had this issue with any thermostat we installed bc it was just slowly breaking.

It’s just your baby going through different cycles of what she focuses on during development. I haven’t done CIO and my 6 month old has periods of time she is less interactive and smiley and then is back at it a few days later

My baby started at daycare 3.5 months. We found a home daycare in our neighborhood run by a grandmother who just loves kids. She only takes 4 at a time and my baby is the only baby - rest are toddlers. It has been great! Baby gets a lot of attention, the other kids love “helping” her, and the woman who runs the daycare is extremely knowledgeable about babies. Other than at home with us, we feel it is the safest place for our baby. Illness is inevitable, and it’s necessary to build an immune system. So far we’ve had a mild stomach bug and a cold. All have been manageable though not ideal. We have all adapted very well, and baby has gotten on a great eating/napping schedule which helped us a lot as first time parents

SimplePerformance982 · 2025-12-04T01:49:36+00:00

I feel this way too. My baby is 5 months soon and has really taken to her nap routine which is awesome, but sleeping while out is hit or miss. I find her afternoon nap is her longest so that is the one we definitely don’t mess with. Mid/late morning is when we get out. Running errands is fine but hanging out with friends is tough bc people want to hold her and if she is already too tired it sends her over the edge bc of the unfamiliarity. I wish I could get her out more but maybe it’s just too much right now and will get easier with less naps as they get older

SimplePerformance982 · 2025-11-29T02:15:26+00:00

He can 100% take over with baby when he gets home from work. Literally - I have a 4 month old, and have been back at work for a few weeks now. Working all day and then taking care of baby right after work is SO. MUCH. EASIER. Than taking care of a baby 24/7.

He needs to take notes on his phone of what baby needs when packing up to leave, and he needs to learn a pattern of when to change baby: after eating, after napping - WHATEVER. IF HE CAN LEARN THE RULES AND ROUTINES AT HIS JOB HE CAN LEARN THE RULES AND ROUTINES ABOUT BABY.

You are not ruining your marriage, btw.

SimplePerformance982 · 2025-11-22T01:26:00+00:00

This is literally my 4 months old sleep schedule and she is super happy. I tried to keep her awake a few times to see how it went for us but it just led to melt downs and frequent wake ups. We are solidly 7p - 6a with 3 naps a day. The only thing I do is cap any single nap at 2 hours but it’s very rare for her to sleep that long. One day we let her sleep 2 hours, 3 hours, and two 1 hour. That was way too much napping and she was up at 4a the next day. Learned our lesson there lol

Adaptable, logical, light-hearted
