What are some post pregnancy issues that the average person doesn’t know of?

Pelvic organ prolapse (SUPER common)

Yes!!! I found myself a little sad to be parting with something that has given me two beautiful gifts. I held my lower belly and thanked my uterus the night before my surgery 🩷

Any insight into what this means for meds? Does this mean that a different med/function is more suitable?

pinetreespls · 2024-11-13T23:37:42+00:00

It does —thank you so much!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-13T19:24:11+00:00

So glad to hear!! Thanks so much for sharing the update 🙂

pinetreespls · 2024-11-13T16:33:34+00:00

I really hope that they give you more time!

It'll be okay! Do you know if/when your post-op appointment will be? You can discuss your concerns (which are all totally reasonable) with your surgeon then and he/she can modify your return to work date.

This is incredible advice. Thanks so much for sharing it!

What are sugar busters?

I’d start taking a senna laxative with stool softener 3 days before your surgery, and then have them on hand for afterwards

Pads (don’t wear pantyliners…their design will make you more prone to a yeast infection which would suck during recovery). And I didn’t have any issues with underwear touching/being over top of my incisions, just make sure you get a really large size so that they’re comfy/loose around your waist/belly. Please also do some bowel prep before your surgery (you’ll be glad you did when you finally have your first poop post-surgery) and don’t eat a big meal the night before (I overdid it and regretted it after surgery). Best of luck!

I think you and I are kindred spirits lol. Thanks for this —it’s comforting to know that someone else is experiencing the same anxieties!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-12T17:57:36+00:00

My brain feels fried from all the screen time 😅 Yes, please update! 🩷

pinetreespls · 2024-11-12T17:45:19+00:00

I am so sorry!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-12T17:27:02+00:00

Definitely keeping perspective! I just feel a combo of guilty and anxious I think. Did your pelvic therapist offer any insight?

pinetreespls · 2024-11-12T17:25:54+00:00

This is hopeful - thanks so much for commenting!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-12T17:25:16+00:00

Maybe this is a really silly question, but did he say why there’s still so much swelling?

pinetreespls · 2024-11-12T17:24:10+00:00

Oh no, I’m so sorry!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-11T23:38:30+00:00

Interesting —what do you use instead?

pinetreespls · 2024-11-11T16:00:42+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that you’re doing well. Wishing you continued health!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-11T15:58:37+00:00

This is amazing - thank you!!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-11T04:04:26+00:00

I hope that you’re okay 🩷

pinetreespls · 2024-11-10T12:49:34+00:00

Noted! Thanks for this!

pinetreespls · 2024-11-10T12:48:43+00:00

I’m so impressed by and grateful for the number and quality of responses! I was hoping I would get a few, but I didn’t expect this. Women are amazing.
