    I've not been in that situation but if yiu have had prolapse surgery you will undo any repair that was done most definitely.

    They usually suggest this type of surgery after yiur family is complete but I'm guessing a caesarian us an option .x

    Hi there

    I had anterior and posterior repair after the birth of my son. I was told subsequent births would need 2 be caeser delivery and my twin girls were born that way about 18 months after my surgery. Fast forward 24 years and I've just had my 2nd repair. Doctor said the weight in my pelvis was enuf 2 prolapse again irrespective of delivery. He said nowadays they usually save surgery till after u have finished ur family. I hoped it was a once in a lifetime operation. Apparently not. Good luck.

      How wonderful it would be if it was lifetime surgery... I wish and was told 10 years at a push.

      We mustn't forget our floor is working all the time and comes under so much downward force.

      Wish I was told after my 2 babies about ptolapse.. forward 23 years and hello lo

      hi Welshgirl

      well I hope this repair lasts a while cos I think I'm done. Was pretty hideous at 50 compared to 24!

      Yes lym I'm the same age although otherwise fit it does take longer at our age as the tissues are not as strong especially after menopause.

      Oh how it sucks to be us sometimes lol
