I have several questions. If you can answer all or just one,
I would greatly appreciate it.
#1. Can anyone suggest a good book to buy (its for my SIL due 09/07) about post-partum wellness?
There are plenty of books about how to give birth in the market but rarely is there one about postpartum healing. I feel a bit betrayed that my MW (tho I respect her, to some degree) did not inform me that pelvic organ prolapse is a very real possibility. Prevention is the key! Ignorance is expensive.
#2. Has anyone heard of or ever used vaginal TENS to strengthen the vagina? Where could I buy a Vaginal TENS unit?
The UK sells them and I tried to buy one from a distributor in London. He told me that since this isn't FDA approved, he could not sell it to me. (FDA doesn't approve of vitamins either and we can purchase those.)
I've used it before under the guidance of a uro-gynecologist and it helped to essentially rewire the nerves for my
IC. I'm just not up to going to a doctor. They just ridicule me and waste no time to suggest a hysterectomy. My cervix is no where near my vaginal opening. I'm simply prolapsed.
#3. Would you please share with me your experience regarding the prolapsed mother giving birth. Would you dare to take on such a client? What advice do you give her so she can possibly eliminate this condition?
I have all three prolapses. Uterine is a grade three. Or was, when diagnosed at 8wks postpartum. I'm 13wks now.
I need some hope that I can recover. I am going to a Physical Therapist next Monday. We'll see how that goes.
#4.Can a precipitous delivery cause pelvic organ prolapse, P.O.P.?
There is a need to educate the importance of pelvic health and strength to women and mothers. This is something I wish I knew. Maybe I can help my SIL.
