(as the OB so eloquently put it) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-378368 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 03:39:12 +0000 Andrea 378368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are brave to even look! I left it alone and waited for the doctor to check it out. I hope there isn't another issue for you. My recovery was also a lot worse than the birth. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-378146 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:37:07 +0000 rachiecakes 378146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: it might be swollen still? trust me, it looked like franken-vag! took waaay more than 6 weeks, I was still black and blue and still swollen. I was even cleared for everything and was like, yeah right, noooo thank you.<br /> I called a nurse friend who guessed it was prolapse or hymen - both of which isn't unusual to see after birth. But it was granulation tissue and took forever to go away. I was terrified of my appointment too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-378123 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:21:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 378123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: hand mirror! Just stood and positioned it to see :) </p> <p>unfortunately.. I have a feeling this isn't a google-gone-wrong thing. So many people are cleared for sex at 6-wks and there's literally nowhere for anything to even go in there, so I can't imagine this is in any way normal :( I'm terrified of my appt!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-378106 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:11:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 378106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: omg....I want to block google from your computer. But, I am the same way:/<br /> I am crossing my fingers for you that it is NOT what you think it is....and even if it is, I have heard that the prognosis is good....so, hopefully it is just a little molehill, if anything at all:/<br /> P.S: how the heck did you manage to get a good look at it? I've been trying to check out my stitches but can't figure out how ...sorry TMI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-378092 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:01:38 +0000 hilsy85 378092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No information, just hugs!!! I hope it's not what you think it is, or if it is, that it's quickly resolved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-377994 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:54:47 +0000 travelgirl1 377994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: aw it could be nothing at all. My sil had a prolapse and a good pelvic health physio can make a world of difference. Definitely worth getting one who specializes in pelvic health though, to properly diagnose and give the right exercises. It's still early days though so could easily be part of healing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-377979 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:44:19 +0000 rachiecakes 377979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't Google and freak yourself out, #1! I did the same thing, I had some granulation tissue from my episiotomy and thought my guts were falling out and I was ruined forever. I was so scared I waited to make an appointment (I discovered this after my 6 week appt). When I went they said it was normal and now at 10 months postpartum, it's gone.<br /> Things at 6 weeks or even sometimes more look totally different from what you're used to and can still change and heal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-post-re-postpartum-cervix#post-377974 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 19:38:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 377974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so this thursday I'll be 6 weeks postpartum. my appointment is friday. I know it's bad to google but..</p> <p>I took a peek and my cervix is totally visible about an inch into my vagina. I googled and this apparently is prolapse. has anyone else dealt with this? I am working myself into a full blown anxiety attack.</p> <p>sorry for the TMI...but google is making me cry!</p> <p>I think it's just the end of my rope this week..I got an easy, quick birth, but a horrible 5-week painful recovery, over supply and blocked ducts, mastitis and now thrush...and now this. </p>
