[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you feel fine and bounce back. My youngest is 10 years old and I'm in PT for a prolapse and need a device to help me use the bathroom correctly. Still don't pee myself when I sneeze or jump, but my pelvic floor is still weak.

Learn from my mistakes and treat your pelvic floor as a key part of your postpartum recovery, and then beyond!

If it makes you feel better, the mode of delivery (vaginal) caused this, not a lack of rehab. Pfpt goes to managing symptoms, not to actually healing the prolapse (although it can teach you good pressure management to minimize risk of the prolapse worsening in menopause). But as another poster said on here, planned c sections are the only proven way to minimize peolapse risk[b] (and a route I would have taken had any OBs actually warned me that prolapse occurs after essentially all (9/10) vaginal deliveries[/b]).

+1. I feel so torn about that. There is so much focus on avoiding a C Section (and I know it has more immediate risks) but it might have been easier than having to manage a prolapse and face pelvic surgery later. [/quote]
