I know I know Im just a big worry wart but I think I have good reason!
I did worry that my cervix was a lot lower than it was before I had my first son. Had an exam and they didnt seem to think so. I can easily touch my cervix, it can vary and go further up sometimes.
I have felt like Ive generally had more pressure down there before this second pregnancy. Noticeable by how I need to wee but dont feel like Ive emptied my bladder fully but by standing up again and moving it must adjust things down there and Im able to finish a wee.
Today I feel particularly heavy in my lower abdomen/vagina. I feel like I have a huge ball up there. I know that can be a sign of it being a possibility of me getting a prolapse. Im scared as baby gets bigger that it could happen.
Im going to try and do my pelvic floor excercises regiliously but I dont feel like theyre doing much. Maybe Im not actually doing the squeezes hard enough but I feel like Im doing it as hard as I can and holding for as long as I can.
Is there any other general fitness for lower abdomen or an alternative to pelvic floor exercises?
I feel like this is also the reason my cervix is pointing backwards for this second pregnancy... because all the muscles down there are so weak? I didnt have a tilted uterus before.
Any advice welcome. Im working myself up that 1. What will happen to baby if I do have some sort of prolapse. 2. Worried about bladder control during the rest of my pregnancy as well as after. 3. I know that the things they do to try and fix a prolapsed cervix is not very good or reliable. It doesnt always help or fix the issue at all.
I feel like an absolute serial poster on here but I worry!
Im going to try and contact the midwife/doctor in the week and Im going to look up how many minutes of pelvic floor I should do a day and try my very best to stick to it!
