Info on 'Prolapsed Uterus' During Pregnancy?

Question

Hi,

I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant & i found out for the first time today that i have a 'mild' Prolapsed Uterus.

Most of the information i've found on this is about the condition after pregnancy,not during.

If anyone has experiance of this i would really appreciate finding out how it affected their pregnancy.?What if any extra care needed?etc

My Dr couldn't even tell me if it means i'll have to have a caesarean,i will have to wait until Monday when i can speak to a Midwife.

Thankyou for your replies,a prolapsed uterus is different to a tilted uterus.A prolapse is when the uterus is not held in place properly due to weakened ligaments so it actually 'falls down' into the vagina (to varying degrees-the most serious being actually coming out of the 'entrance').

Thankyou cuddlymum,your answer is very reassuring - goodluck with your pregnancy :-)

Answer 1

I'm about 8 weeks pregnant and have a mild prolapse too (stage 1). I have noticed that it is actually moving further up over the last couple of weeks but my doctor told me to monitor it myself and if it gets worse near the end of my pregnancy they will book me for a caesarian. I haven't found much info on this either, and i asked a question a few months ago on here, asking if its safe to get pregnant with a prolapse but very few people actually know what one is. My doctor assured me that unless it gets worse it should present no problems through pregnancy, just slightly more weakening after the birth. If it turns into a stage 2 or 3 it increases the risk of premature labour but only if it is starting to descend quite low in your vagina.

Once you decide not to have any more kids they can do a repair where they actually tie the uterus to your spine!!! ewww!!

I will be watching this question with great anticipation!!

A successful VBAC usually depends on the reason why you had to have a C-section the last time. 12 hours does not sound like an unusually long labor, so maybe there was another reason why a C-section was necessary. It can't hurt to try.I have a friend who attempted a VBAC two weeks ago and ended up with another C. Don't worry though, four C-sections won't hurt you. My mother had FIVE C-sections and all pregnancies, babies, and she were perfectly healthy. And, that was back in the olden days of the 1970's when the incision was HUGE and VBAC was not an option.

Prolapsed is such a bad word because it really doesn't define what the problem is. Basically, it means that your uterus is tipped one way or the other and not exactly where the doctor thinks it should be. Everyone is different, so there may not really be a problem -- especially since you have gotten pregnant! I was diagnosed with "mild prolapse of the uterus" as well and went onto have 3 children without any major complications. Relax, enjoy pregnancy, and prepare for the birth of your child. Good luck!

Answer 4

My uterus sits in the curve of my spine (or it's prolapsed as well). I've had three healthy babies and am currently pregnant with #4. The only thing I noticed was more back pain during the last trimester and more hip problems because the baby sat so far back. I had back labor as well, but it doesn't pose any risk to your baby unless it doesn't raise up on it's own, but talk to your midwife, she should be able to make you feel better. Keep the faith, there are lots of success stories :)

Answer 5

Sorry to hear you have a worry so early on in pregnancy. It would seem that it is not so uncommon, so don't feel too lonely about it. The following website has some info. Talk to your midwife who should be able to reassure you. The obstetrician and midwife will monitor you during the pregnancy and probably see you just a little bit more often than if your uterus was not tilted. Keep smiling and look forward to motherhood.

Answer 6

Do you mean like a tilted uterus? Mine tips the wrong way and I have had four healthy babies (including twins) all with midwives - all of them were all natural births (and one of the twins was breech!) - NO drugs or anything. Prolapsed probably just sounds worse than it really is. Don't worry about it - focus on the baby!

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Answer 8

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/ETBL2

Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.
