I think mine has 
I'm 3 mo pp (a vbac, second child) and last week foolishly lifted a suitcase full of books. For that afternoon I had a slight tummy ache and then could feel like something has shifted inside. Nothing's hanging out yet but I can feel a lump pretty low down there.
I'm seeing a doctor today but if it is really that what do I have to do about it? Will it need surgery? If not, does it hinder in intercourse? Can I run, jog etc without having to worry about it falling out? Ever?
Sheh...

). It used to be thought that POP only affected older women, and treatment methods often reflected the idea that a woman reporting POP would be older/done bearing children/looking for a solution that wouldn't need to "last" more than 10 years or so. However, younger and younger women are now reporting POP to their providers and demanding better treatment options so this is actually a "good" time to be facing this sort of challenge. (no one really knows "why" younger women are facing POP... one theory is that cesareans increase downstream risk of organ prolapse since the organs get disturbed/moved around during the surgery. Another theory is that younger women have always faced prolapse but have been ashamed or uncertain or uncomfortable discussing it or more willing to accept a diagnosis of "this is what happens after you have a baby". Another theory is that modern lifestyles and body norms encourage posture or activity that increases POP risk.)
