QuestionAfter the birth of my last child two years ago, my cirvix slid out the opening of my vagina. all the hospital did was push it back up. i am now currently 23 weeks pregnate and i have not informed my doctor yet,about my prolapsed uterus. what i want to know is what are my chances of haveing to have a c_section?
AnswerHi Margaret: I would recommend that you discuss this issue with your OB (or midwife). I wish I could answer you more satisfactorily with regards to the c-section question, but unfortunately, I just can't. At this point, not even the medical community can say definitively that c-section "spares" the pelvic floor. Still a topic of much heated debate, as well as the subject of ongoing research.
Again, I would discuss your individual situation with your doctor. Hopefully together you can devise the best plan, FOR YOU.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, and wishing you all the best!
Warmly,
Cat
