Hi Everyone. I was just wondering whether anyone has any experience with uterine prolapse during pregnancy? I haven't been diagnosed but was doubting whether I have it before I got pregnant. I'm now 6+5 and starting to worry that this might have an effect on my pregnancy. I already have a unicornuate uterus which increases the chance of delivering early but will uterine prolapse further increase the likelihood? or are the effects just limited to causing back pain during pregnancy?

Hi Kim - why do you think you have it? I have it as well as a rectocele and cystocele (so lucky) and as far as I’m aware a prolapse doesn’t increase the chances of an earlier delivery. Just be sure to do your pelvic floor/core exercises as if you have it there’s a chance of symptoms worsening as your pg progresses x

As above, pelvic floor exercises are key.
Mention to your midwife and you’ll likely get referred to a consultant about it, even if it’s just to confirm it is/isn’t the case. If it is, then they’ll talk to you about delivery options and maybe offer you an elective c-section depending on the grade of prolapse if there is one at all x

Hi. When exercising (trampoline class), I get a really dull heavy pain down there and seem to have less control over my bladder/holding it in. I am not living in the UK so see an OB but I'll mention it to her next time I see her and see what she says, thanks.
I must get better at doing kegels too - I always forget!
