Prolapse at 8 weeks pp - help please.

Hi everyone, I'm new here..

My baby is just over 9 weeks old. I also have a 3yo toddler. I had an induced VBAC labour/epidural/long stage 2/forceps delivery with episiotomy. This has resulted in my baby having torticollis which was diagnosed when he was 3 weeks old, so ever since then I have to do physiotherapy on him 6+ times a day. Prior to that we were dealing with breastfeeding with a severe tongue tie. From week 5-7 I was suffering from terrible coccyx pain - which had got progressively worse since the birth, until I had some chiropractic treatments. With these challenges in addition to the usual newborn stuff, I wasn't focussing on myself.. neglected pelvic floor exercises and probably started doing too much too soon.

8 weeks to the day of the birth, something felt different down below, that tampon falling out feeling which seems to be very common. I am yet to be diagnosed but I'm certain I have uterine prolapse (if not others?). I hadn't had any symptoms prior to this but perhaps it had already happened, just to a lesser degree?

I'm looking for advice and encouragement from those who know about this stuff. I've been googling frantically ever since and feel quite gloomy about it all. Actually that's a massive understatement; I feel utterly devastated and extremely angry that this is something I had no idea could happen, particularly with the sort of birth I had.

I saw my GP last week who examined me lying down and said I just looked normal for someone who had given birth vaginally. She thought I was catastrophising because of all the other stuff I'm dealing with. I'm going back to see another GP tomorrow and will ask for a standing examination this time. I'm also seeing a womens health physio - hoping that as she's more of a specialist that she will actually know how to examine properly and give me some clue what's going on.

In search of hope, I've read that pp prolapse *can* resolve in some cases. But I don't know if mine could come into that category given it happened at 8 weeks pp - is that too long since the birth to have hope? I also stopped breastfeeding at 3 weeks pp due to the tongue tie issues (been there, done that with my 1st and not prepared to do again). Does that mean that any advantage for healing that comes with stopping breastfeeding is long since gone as it's now over 6 weeks ago? My cycle hasn't yet returned and I have no idea what's going on hormonally.

I guess I'm asking for answers that nobody can probably give me.. but I'm asking anyway! I am 41 by the way so whilst not a spring chicken.. not really ready to accept this as the new normal.

Does anyone have anything encouraging to say?!

Thanks :)
