3 weeks PP uterine prolapse? *Pictures*

Posted , 6 users are following.

I know I am in the early stages of postpartum recovery, but is this normal? or is it uterine prolapse? I believe that is my cervix, but I do not remember being able to visibly see my cervix before and I am worried. No pain, other than mild from the remaining stitches (I had a second degree tear with a 8 lb 11 oz baby, first baby). No problems going to the bathroom, but I do feel like a tampon is slipping out of me. I am just stressed over this and cannot find any information online. I have a six week appointment scheduled, but not sure if I need to go in earlier to have this checked. Thanks in advance for any help!

    No thats not your cervix. Dont worry, you have gone through some trauma there and with a first baby at nearly 9 lb and stitches, you are not healed yet and probably still swollen. Wait until your 6 week check up and discuss any worries then. Just enjoy that baby.

    MINE LOOKS THE EXACT SAME & I also had a 9lb and 4oz baby. I was so scared. We just had big babies and are still healing!

    I can only really see your urethra, with the small hole in the middle. I can't see much in your vagina, maybe a little bit of a vaginal wall? Which part do you mean? Things will be swollen for a while. It looks normal though. Your urethra looks a little large but it has stitches going through it so it's going to be inflamed. Mine is still swollen at 2 months pp.
