New here, couple questions

Body: 

Hi all- I am 27, with a terrific almost 2 year old and I'm 19 weeks pregnant. Several weeks ago I discovered I had a prolapsed uterus when I could see my cervix coming out a little ways. Needless to say, I had no idea what was going on and was pretty freaked out, since things aren't supposed to come out of "down there", especially while pregnant. Since then, the prolapse has gotten better (I was lifting a lot just before all this) which the doctor seemed to think might happen as pregnancy progressed). In your experience, was this birth-induced? I never had problems before... And my daughter's birth was very normal, though I was at a hospital and did it the "traditional" way. No epidural or inducing, and she was 7lbs 2oz, so not big or anything. Also, what might happen at this delivery? I am seeing a midwife regularly, but saw a specialist when the prolapse issue came up (but won't need to continue with him unless things get worse). Anyway, his advice was "don't push".... But really, what is your advice? Thanks for reading this!

hi there and welcome to the forums.
I just typed out a whole long response and mistakenly hit delete or something and its gone. the short of it is, your dr's advice is sound, if incomplete.
I've birthed two babies since finding my prolapse (primarily cystocele). both times I birthed on my hands and knees to protect my prolapse and keep the bladder out of the way. one birth was a 'no push' birth, I had decided to not push above what the uterus did and it was pretty cool. felt like the baby was pushing his way out rather than me pushing him out. next baby was FAST and no way could I not push so I did.
its the pushing in a lithotomy position that's really awful for a prolapse. all that pressure in that position can blow things right out. is this birth induced? oftentimes.
I think that if you give it some thought and try to stay active during labor/delivery and can work with your body you should be ok. and remember, whatever happens can be managed afterwards. during pg the pelvic organs lift up and out of the pelvic cavity which is why things are getting better for you now. postpartum, of course, things can look alot worse. but that's what WW is for. try to learn the philosophy and posture (if you can while pg) now so that you will be ready to implement it later.
I am now 7 months postpartum and am no worse off than I was before I got pg.
so don't worry too much, and enjoy your pg!
