Activa yogurt eases constipation

When I eat this brand of yogurt, the poop comes out easier. :) I don't have to eat it every day, but 2-3 times a week helps a lot. Best of all, it helps my husband with his IBS, too. Slows him down, speeds me up. :) Something about the probiotics they've chosen for this yogurt acts a a bowel regulator.

new here...7wks postpartum and i think its getting worse!

not sure if this is where i should post but i just need someone to share this with.....i would appreciate any advice or hope for whats going on with me. I just had my second baby 7 weeks ago he was 7lbs 9 oz ...my first boy was 7lbs 8 oz they were good size babies but not at all big...my deliveries went very well for the most part my first was trying to come out face up but the dr.

Can it be my vaginal wall sagging?

I am still wondering what the lump i have is, what kind of prolapse it is. I am thinking back to before i had my episiotomy repair 3 months ago when my OB said that the lump was just my vaginal wall sagging and that it's normal to see that with women who've given birth vaginally. Could that also make sense and be the reason for me to see the lump and why i feel heavy down there sometimes and like something wants to come out of my vagina?

How come sometimes i see the lump but don't feel the sensation...?

I still don't know what kind of prolapse i have. I had an episiotomy repair 3 months ago almost and have pain in my perineum and inside vagina still. I tried to do the self exam but i can't even get half of one finger inserted inside. Everything seems so tight and blocked and there was pain trying. I have my app't with m OB on the 18th so hopefully i will have a better idea about what's happening with me soon. She is a new OB that i found that i like better than the one who did the surgery.

Christine: sort of off topic

Christine,

Need help to understand WW posture

I believe I have a cystocele. This site and the book are very useful for diagnosing this, but
I don't understand the posture instructions. I don't want to do it wrong, since I might do harm.

I don't understand "relax your lower belly". How do I do that? What does it
feel like? How is that different from normal?
I don't know how to pull my abdomen up from my ribs.
I don't understand how to lift up my breasts. Maybe I'm in such bad shape I can't
do the WW posture until I'm better in shape? Should I take up yoga first?

What makes it worse?

Hi, I am new here and obsessed with this site!

5 months pregnant and counting

It has been a while since I shared how my pregnancy and prolapse are doing - so here is the update.

Is it prolapse that i have?? OBgyn gave confusing diagnosis

I had my son 7 months ago by vbac and had 3rd degree tears. Later realized that it felt heavy down there and strange. Looking in the mirror i saw that there was a lump there near the vaginal opening that is the diameter smaller than a dime. It wasn't always there, sometimes it wouldn't be and sometimes it would be...noticed it mostly after i showered. Sometimes it would slowly come down as i watched in the mirror. My tears was still hurting me and i wasn't sewn up properly. My OB did a restitch job on me which she called an episiotomy repair.

Protruding cervix - ulcers?

Tried to submit this a few times so apologize if it shows up twice.

Noticed tonight that my protruding cervix has 2 white bumps onit. They are not huge and not painful. I am just not sure if they are ulcers or yeast or what? Maybe from rubbing out side the vagina. Has anybody experienced this - any comments or suggestion would be most helpfu and appreciated. Thank you : )
